Sub-Race

A Sub-Race is a population within a Race which has one or more significant physiological differences from other members of that Race, but is still able to interbreed with them. Some Races have only one extant Sub-Race, making them more or less uniform, whereas others have several. The differences between Sub-Races may be obvious or extremely subtle, but they always have some distinct effect on an individual's capabilities. Sub-populations which possess only minor differences from other members of their Race are classified as ethnicities, not Sub-Races.

When a player chooses their character's Race during Character Creation, they must choose a Sub-Race as well if their chosen Race has more than one. The available Sub-Races for each playable Race are as follows:

• Human - N/A
• Aasimar - Protector Aasimar, Scourge Aasimar, Fallen Aasimar
• Dragonborn - N/A
• Dwarf - Hill Dwarf, Mountain Dwarf, Duergar
• Elf - High Elf, Wood Elf, Drow
• Half-Elf - N/A
• Halfling - Lightfoot Halfling, Stout Halfling
• Gnome - Rock Gnome, Forest Gnome
• Orc - N/A
• Half-Orc - N/A
