Races ?

[Ebola Lola]

Ok so Im sure there is a list of ALL the races allowed on CD but finding said list isn't easy. So what I'm asking is that some one makes a list of all the a allowed Races. Meaning  Non App ones along with all the Templates that stay under the ECL cap for the server... I know Im not the only one that doesn't know all the FR3.5 lore/rules/races ect. It would just be very helpful for a guide on races and what not for people to use.  Its up to the maker of this guide if they want to add the info on the templates or not. It would just be nice to know what there is to pick from. I myself HATE playing run of the mill characters, If I wanted normal I wouldn't be playing NwN in the first place lol. 


If there is no one interested in making this guide.. Then I ask that one of the admins with the correct books that they pull their info from to please send me them and I will make the guide. As long as I have the right information I have no problem trying to do this on my own.  I just need the tools to do so seeing as I do not know what strictly is being used and not used.

There is a temp list in the Custom Content sub-forum under Announcements.

If it's okay with the staff, I could probably take some time to go through all the setting-neutral 3.5 books I have and come up with a quick list of races presented there. Especially things like the "Races of" books that tuck a few short-description races away after the longer elaborations on the core races provided within. I know we already have a handful of selections from these races (two of which are admittedly my own - Kestal is Dragonborn from Races of the Dragon, Shezzarin is Killoren from Races of the Wild; plus I know we've had a Whisper Gnome in the past, and maybe one or two more of those options).

My FR lore library is much, much smaller so someone else will have to complete that list, though I can submit what I can find from what I do have.

[Vincent07]

Ideally I would like to list out the templates we use of the official Races. (ie: those we have full support for), as well as those we have allowed or some how set up. (ie: the various fey, dragonborn, etc)

[Edge]

I can do that.

[Vincent07]

By all means go for it then.  Saves me some time.

[Ebola Lola]

You need an app for everything that is not a core race minus Half-Orc. So Human, Half-Elf, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, or Gnome. Anything else requires an App.

Though I do recall we were considering letting up on the Half-Orc restriction with the addition of the Undercity, I don't recall if it went through. It's been a while.

[Ebola Lola]

Oh ok thank you Edge I wasn't sure. I guess Ill just stick to a normal elf

Half-Breed Races

These are race templates that can be applied to any base race. Do note if the base race has an ECL, it stacks with the ECL of the template. It also makes a more exotic character that may be more difficult to pass muster and be accepted by the staff.

As these are templates and not base races, all of their racial qualities are in addition to the qualities of the base race unless stated otherwise.

Half-Breed races are banned from the Dragon Disciple class.

That covers all the races that are currently supported by in-game scripting and feats already implemented in our haks. Races beyond this point will be races that may be available - due to being published in official Wizards 3rd/3.5 edition products - but are not currently supported by any intrinsic scripts, coding, or hak implementation. Players interested in playing one of these races, or an unlisted race, might want to keep in mind that NWN may not have anything that properly implements some of the racial traits of the creatures in question, and thus such abilities and traits may have to be omitted, or replaced by a kludge/approximation that is available in the game's engine as-is.
