There are a great variety of '''Races''' that can be found in the [[Forgotten Realms]] and played in [[Baldur's Gate 3]], both civilized and savage. A creature's race determines its lineage and innate powers and abilities.


All races have their own strengths and many possess unique abilities and powers. Sometimes creatures can even cast spells as a result of their racial heritage. See below for a list of races.
