Keywords are: 'races' All new characters are created as humans, and you cannot select a different race when you create your character. We did not feel that races would add significantly to the game if they were used indiscriminately by inexperienced players. It also does not add to the spirit of role play to have a town full of humans, elves, drow, orcs, dragons, and other assorted races that should hate each other. It is not possible to change races at this time.
