Race
Faerun is home to hundreds of intelligent peoples, divided into thousands of tribes, clans, nations, and ethnicities. Some of these races are monstrous predators armed with terrible powers and others are bloodthirsty marauders who terrorize their weaker neighbors, but most are good-hearted folk who wish to live in peace. This great diversity in physical nature, magical talent, belief, and values creates a vast patch work of cultures that spans the continent, a tapestry so complex and wondrous that no mortal can ever comprehend it in its entirety.
Inside A Land Far Away, the races available to the player are the same as those provided in Neverwinter Nights 2 and its expansions. However, there are a few cases where things may differ, whether it be how we handle them in ALFA, or the actual mechanics. Even if you are familiar with the different races, it can't hurt to have a quick skim over the following entries. If you are not familiar with the Forgotten Realms or Dungeon and Dragons races, you'll find links to the wiki pages for each subrace below.
