Race

From NWNWiki

There are many races in Faerûn, each with their own strengths and weaknesses relative to the others.

[edit] Playable races

The seven playable races are dwarf, elf, gnome, half-elf, half-orc, halfling, and human.

All playable races are medium sized, except gnomes and halflings, which are small.

[edit] Nonplayable races

Monsters and non-player characters have options in addition to the playable races. The eighteen races that are reserved for monsters and non-player characters in Neverwinter Nights are aberration, animal, beast, construct, dragon, elemental, fey, giant, goblinoid, magical beast, monstrous, ooze, orc, outsider, reptilian, shapechanger, undead, and vermin. These are not to be confused with a creature's class. (Aside from goblinoid, orc, and reptilian, these are also the names of classes a monster can have.) Abilities such as turn undead and favored enemy are based on a creature's race, regardless of whether or not that creature has any class levels of the same name.
