Each playable race has several subraces available in the persistent world Bonds of Blood, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Some even have special properties that are not standard aspects of NWN.
Aquatic subraces have no need for air and operate underwater without penalty. In addition, they are immune to drown spells.
Large-sized subraces get -2 AC due to their size, and weapons count as reduced size.
Light sensitive subraces suffer a standard penalty in daylight. The standard penalty is -1 from reflex saves, -1 from attack bonus, and -1 AC. This penalty can be found on armor and weapons.
