Unique Races
((There are Races that have been pre-approved to be played. Small summaries of each race will be next to their name.))
APPLICATIONS FOR UR RACES ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED.
Note: These race are not available until you’ve played a non-application race first. Once that has been done you can then reroll into these races.
Unique races are here to, at their core, provide and engage the community in RP. They have been added to our cauldron of fun, and in the name of fun, these races are not more ‘OP’ or ‘Special’ than the current base ones. When playing one of our alternative unique races below, please understand that you forgo any special racial books/perks that our base races may get. Our Unique Races get the same Base Stats with some differences based on their racial classification.
We currently have 40+ races and some subraces within them, to choose from! (This is a long list!)
(These races have the potential for limited slots depending on the volume of players who wish to try them out!)
Please Note: You will see two instances of ‘Disclaimers’ on the races below. This can affect how your gameplay goes depending on the race. We wish to ensure our community understands from the start that certain races will not be loved and are susceptible to easy deaths. If either of the below is not stated on the race, you can play the character as normal without these worries.
- FULL – Other players will view your character negatively, and town authorities will not defend you. You will be subject to full pvp cons in the hub areas.
- REVILED – Other characters will view your character negatively, even if you present them as good-aligned.
Base Stats for Unique Races:
- Ability Score Increases: +1 of Choice
- Speed: Your base walking speed is 2 foundations
- Languages: +1 of Choice
~For the purposes of RPR, some races function identically to undead in our system, so they will have the ‘undead’ perk to reflect this.~

Large Creatures & Size Limitations: Beyond 255 height, doorframes of a standard size can no longer be entered; to work around this for big characters, they can attempt to meet a DC 15 roll for either ATHLETICS or ACROBATICS to temporarily be able to resize to move through a door, before sizing back to whatever they were prior.
- Contortion:
DC 15 Acrobatics roll: The character squeezes through the opening; must be repeated any time a doorway meeting the criteria is entered (EX: they contort to enter a building, they must then make the roll to get back out or they are stuck for that turn) - Door-Buster:
DC 15 Athletics roll: The character busts the doorframe, does not need to be repeated and a POI must be left stating that the doorframe has been broken with standard evidence rules applying
Unique races are application-based. When putting in your whitelist, please be sure to copy and paste the below with your answers on top of the regular whitelist format:
(Discord ready)
**Character Alignment:** *What alignment is your character & how is it expressed?*
**Personal Bio:** *Your character‘s backstory.*
**Historical Tendencies of This Race:** *How does the society of this race function, and what do they value?*
- – Does your character differ from these historical tendencies, if so- how do they differ, and why do they behave differently?
**Outside Mindset toward This Race:** *How do other, more common races view this one? Are they hated, and if so– for what reasons, generally?*
**Racial Tensions:** *What races are typically viewed with contention for your race? List at least two and describe how your character personally feels about them.*
~Unique Races are currently only available to players who have already played one of our vanilla races for the default reroll period (14 days). Your application MUST be approved before you re-roll.~

Nimblewright
Nimblewrights are oddities amongst other constructs, largely due to their innate intelligence and creativity, having been bestowed a personality upon their creation. Humanoid and lithe in their mechanical frame, Nimblewrights are typically excellent candidates for dueling, being quick and graceful upon their feet. Their energetic nature often lends them toward adopting far more chaotic personalities.

Warforged
On the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of physique when compared to Nimblewright, warforged are powerfully built constructs who were created with a personality to develop and an innate intelligence that grants them a sense of personhood. Their bodies even harbor a system of veins that acts as a passage for liquid that fuels their functions, leaving them as an almost artistic replication of the biological form. They are adaptable by nature, often affixing their weapons to their own limbs through feats of engineering.

Gargoyle
Appearing much like statues of winged, demonic humanoids, Gargoyles are adept at cultivating the facade of being inanimate, lingering atop pillars and high places to peer upon all that passes below. They are cruel and cunning, delighting in the terror and pain they inflict as they surprise their victims, with some sources even claiming that this anguish is what sustains them. They are often indiscriminate about whom they work for, so long as they are bribed with the opportunity to cause even more of that pain that they crave, alongside a generous helping of treasure to covet.

Forlarren
Forlarren were a race of fey creatures that came about from devil corruption. Their fey ancestry drove forlarren to act in ways seen as self-destructive and once they reached a breaking point through such behavior the diabolical side of their personality would assert itself. Forlarren dominated by their diabolical mindset were known to be rather cunning, scheming, and vicious foes. They often sought to dominate or mislead weaker creatures. Once whatever diabolical schemes they had were foiled, a forlarren’s fey nature would reassert dominance over their mind.

Korred
Korreds, also known as the Dancing Folk, were a small race of fey with a special connection to the earth. Korreds were grey-skinned humanoids with short hairy bodies and the lower-body of a goat. Their beards and hair were incredibly long and dense, snaking out in all directions. They were rarely known to wear more than a simple pair of leather britches. It was difficult to distinguish between the two Korred sexes, as the women grew similarly large beards and manes of hair.

Quickling
Quicklings were a small speedy species of fey. Quicklings were small humanoid fey of slender build, similar in appearance to an elf, but with sharper, more feral features. They were cruel, devious, and capricious. They were also quite hyperactive, preferring not to slow down. They constantly paced and shifted in place whenever they were forced to be “stationary.” They spent most of their time performing acts of mischief on creatures slower than themselves and delighted in causing suffering, especially when the blame fell on other creatures and caused further discord.

Draegloth
The union of a drow Priestess and a Glabrezu, Draegloth are graceful, four-armed half-fiends that vary in visage and stature based upon their gender. The males are the more brutish of the two, taking after their demonic heritage far more than their slender, drow-esque counterparts. These beasts are monsters in more than just their looks, their reputation earned for being impatient, bloodthirsty killing machines when unleashed upon an enemy. Drow view them as a gift from Lolth, deeming them sacred and treating them with respect, albeit whilst still holding female Draegloth in far higher regard than their brothers.

Fey’ri
In a manner akin to the taint of tiefling’s infernal blood upon their physique, Fey’ri is warped by their demonic heritage in much the same way, albeit in a rather pronounced manner. Fey’ri appears as sun elves with a distinct demonic touch to their features, often bearing multiple arms, horns, varying numbers of wings, tails, and beyond. They value the purity of their corrupted blood, often viewing elves as lesser than themselves. Numbers of Fey’ri are few and far between, the result of nearly successful eradication of their bloodline by other elves, stoking that disdain further.

Tanarukk
Tanarukk are the result of the crossbreeding of orcs and tanar’ri demons, with the initial population having evolved so much that these half-fiends are now considered their own race, having escaped slavery by their demonic masters and establishing settlements of their own. They resemble short, stocky orcs with infernal traits that denote their heritage, such as pronounced horns and two jutting tusks that breech their lower jaw, these being far larger than those held by their orcish ancestry. They enjoy indulging in savagery and, although they are often more intelligent than the orcs they originated from, still engage in brutalizing any whom they deem weaker than themselves.

Half-Ogre
Half-ogres were the offspring of a human and an ogre. Half-ogres were not very intelligent, and they typically were greatly lacking in self-control. They tended to enjoy the simple pleasures of life—eating, drinking, and partying. Half-ogres were generally thought of as large, strong, and stupid among human civilizations, but considered exactly the opposite way by ogre tribes. They were especially not trusted by dwarves or gnomes, because of their ancestry.

Ogres appeared as giant humanoids with very muscular bodies and large heads, with black blood. Ogres were a lazy, brutish, avaricious race with notoriously quick tempers. Their avaricious nature would often lead them to distrust one another and incite squabbling over treasure.

Trolls, also called the Spawn of Vaprak or the Undying Ones, were a ravenous, predatory species of giant humanoid found throughout almost all the regions and types of climates in Faerûn, from arctic wastes to tropical jungles, and came in several sub-species. They were uncivilized, monstrous creatures with voracious appetites that roamed from one area to the next feeding upon whatever they could.

Verbeeg
Verbeegs were giant-kin and were also sometimes known as human behemoths because they resembled humans more than any other giant race, but had ganglier limbs and longer faces. Verbeegs were usually evil creatures without an ethical compass. While being conniving, these giants still possessed a certain sense of honor. They often followed their own rules: never give a sucker a break, and always keep your word. Verbeegs often worded their promises and turns of phrase so they were able to get out of pledging things they did not want to follow up on.

Abeil
Abeils, also commonly known as bee people, were humanoid bee-like creatures that lived in large hive-cities. They were divided into three castes: the laboring vassals, the fighting soldiers (also known as stormwings), and the ruling queens. Abeils exhibited a mix of the features of bees and elves. Bristly fur colored in alternating bands of black and yellow covered their bodies. Their heads were elf-like, though their eyes were black and faceted, and they sported antennae. They had four-digited hands, translucent bee-like wings, and stingers.
Vassal – Worker caste of Abeil race
Queen – Female vassals transformed through the usage of Royal Jelly
Solider – Martial-focused, far larger Abeil

Aquatic Elf
Aquatic elves were a subrace of elves adapted to living in and breathing water. Their thick skin gave them protection from the cold of deep water, keeping them comfortable at just above-freezing temperatures. Their fingers and toes were generally about twice as long as a human’s and had thick webbing between them. Their most distinctive feature was the gills visible in their necks and over their ribs. Aquatic elves were isolationist by both their nature and the physical location of their settlements. However, despite being extremely cautious, they were also extremely curious, and aquatic elves near the shore would often spend a significant amount time secretly observing the land-bound races.

Bugbear
Bugbears resembled hairy, tall, feral goblins. They took their name from their noses and claws, which were similar to those of bears. Bugbears, like other goblinoids, had a reputation for being dim-witted and brutish. This claim was not unfounded, and like their kin, bugbears had easily provoked tempers and were prone to rages. Few bugbears overcame this flaw and their culture’s brutal nature.

Bullywug
Bullywugs were a primitive race of frog-like humanoids found throughout the bogs and marshes of Toril, the self-proclaimed lords of the swamp. Savage and self-destructive, the bullywugs regularly tampered with forces beyond their understanding, threatening the safety of others and their own brutish, noisome, and wet lives. Unlike many other creatures of the wild, bullywugs either didn’t understand or didn’t care about the effect they had on their own ecosystems.

Gnoll
Gnolls were a humanoid race that most closely resembled human-hyena hybrids within Faerûn. They were carnivorous humanoids, known for their savage culture and warlike ways. More so than many other humanoid races, primal instinct was a strong part of the gnoll psyche. Gnolls were natural predators and savored the thrills of the hunt. Almost all gnolls preferred the wilderness to the civilized enclaves favored by humans, dwarves, or other similar races and those that do take to cities have usually thought of them as just another kind of landscape.

Grimlocks were a race of monstrous humanoids that lived in the Underdark, the degenerated descendants of humans who had wandered into its depths centuries ago. They had slightly scaled, thick gray skin that was usually scarred from hunts through their constricted underground passageways. Those with a special status in their society often had decorative designs scarred into their skin. Grimlocks were very blunt and suspicious of other creatures. Those who wandered away from their kin often experienced culture shock, but felt some sense of gratification at how strange things were.

Hagspawn were outcast creatures, the sons sired from the mating of hags and humans.

Kenku are short humanoids that possess a crow or raven-shaped head, their feathers are typically black in color whilst their arms and feet possess avian scales and taloned digits. Secretive and agile by nature, they make excellent spies, though their propensity for cowardice in the face of potential death can lead to them fleeing from the heat of battle. They are often born within clans, gangs, or family-groups, remaining with them until departing upon reaching young adulthood. The kenku possess an innate talent for mimicry, able to copy what they see and hear with near-expert precision.

Other aquatic adaptions included webbed hands and feet, as well as a more slender form. Koalinth were known for a great ferocity similar to that of normal hobgoblins. They held a strong hatred of elves, deep enough to affect their decisions to forge alliances. They preyed upon any beings they came across, and were highly disagreeable.

Largely shunned by society and often enslaved by true horrors, the humble creatures survived the trials of their lives and the circumstances of their origins through tolerance and teamwork. Mongrelfolk were typically skittish, perfectly aware of their unwanted status in the wider world. Those who could hide the nature of their existence, would, disguising themselves as other races.

Though they were dangerous hunters, quaggoths were just as often prey for other predators of the Underdark, particularly those like the drow or illithid with magic at their disposal. They hated the drow as well as surface-dwelling elves and dwarves, and were often kept as slaves by drow.

Sahuagin tolerated the lizardfolk much more than they did the elves. Sahuagin had an only slightly less hatred for tritons. Exactly why the two races hated each other so much was unknown.

Thri-kreen
The thri-kreen were an insectoid monstrous humanoid race of nomads and hunters. They resembled a giant praying mantis with exoskeletons over their entire bodies. Thri-kreen had no clear or definable personalities as humans would know them. No emotions could be discerned from their insectoid faces or their patterns of behavior, though rapid twitching of their antennae or mandibles indicated agitation. Their alien thought patterns made it hard for them to understand the advanced concepts or sophisticated social rules of other races. They lacked ideas of devotion, honor, or loyalty, but they respected skill and strength and recognized the convenience of working with talented hunting companions.

Tortle
Tortles were a race of intelligent tortoise-like humanoids indigenous to southern Chult. Most tortles had the notion of having their houses on their backs, which meant that they rarely felt homesick or the need to lay roots in any single place. They were eager to learn new customs and found beauty in the most ordinary things. Despite spending much of their lives isolated, tortles liked to form strong friendships.

Centaur
Centaurs were a strong and proud race. Although they typically strove to find peace and balance with nature, they could act with violence when the need arose. Despite this desire for balance, centaurs had to eat a lot to fuel their large bodies and were known to overindulge, especially in wine and ale. A drunken centaur was much more prone to aggressive and violent behavior. Although some were solitary, centaurs generally lived in tribal hunter-gatherer societies. Those that felt a sense of wanderlust to explore the world made excellent companions and occasionally would offer a ride to allies. The suggestion that they be used as a pack animal however was met with derision.

Harpy
A harpy was a malign race of monstrous humanoid winged creatures. Harpies were notoriously malevolent and sadistic, taking enormous joy in hurting, torturing and killing their victims, and were always seeking more. They were fond of entrancing travelers with their songs and luring them to shockingly cruel dooms. When they were done playing with their captives, they slew them and finally devoured them. They were not particularly intelligent creatures, and were prone to cowardice in the face of superior power.

They were known for their peacefulness and appreciation of quiet, making their homes in the darker corners of the world. Fungus folk were unique amongst the Underdark races for their complete aversion to violent behavior. A general distrust of outsiders was common among the myconids due to their experience with most other entities.

Ophidian
Ophidia typically follow a Yuan-ti master, though freed Ophidia are known to gather in small groups led by the oldest female. They are odd in their stature, limbs protruding from their serpentine form in a manner that resembles a humanoid salamander, their visages paying them no favors in this regard. They are innately loyal, often following orders without question. Legends speak of how they are created, as a bitten humanoid will painfully transform over the course of a few weeks, losing their memories in the process. The completed process was irreversible, yet it could be halted and kept from progressing further. The Ophidia sighted in these lands are incapable of passing on this curse, however.

Pterfolk
While not all lizardfolk were evil, it was generally agreed that pterafolk were cruel and vicious as a rule. They were highly untrusting of anyone outside their own race. They had an innate predilection towards violent behavior, but those raised in other societies sometimes had the capacity to overcome this tendency and take on alignments beyond evil. Pterafolk appeared much like a tailless lizardfolk aside from their elongated cranial crest and long, lithe frames. Many also possessed beaks full of serrated teeth, and they possessed the innate ability to magically unfurl a pair of massive wings from their arms.

Tlincalli
Tlincallis were terrifying monstrous humanoids with the lower bodies of giant scorpions. Instead of true chitin, their insectoid lower halves were constructed of bone plates, and their humanoid upper bodies held a handsome visage aside from their insectoid eyes and other scattered arthropod features. Their predatory nature shines through in their behavior and society, their demeanor calm and observant as they study those they meet in a manner not unlike a hunter. Their societies are heavily organized around their belief in omens and divination, and aside from their tendency to take other races as slaves, their behavior is stark in its detached and confident nature.

A death knight was a mighty undead warrior created by gods of death or other malevolent forces. They were most commonly created from evil humanoids who in life had been blackguards, fighters, rangers, barbarians, and even paladins fallen from grace. A death knight appeared similar to how it appeared in life, but it had a decayed body with rotting flesh and pinpoints of light in place of eyes. A death knight often wore fine clothing and armor, especially capes, as a mark of importance. A death knight struck fear into the hearts of weaker creatures.

Kir-Lanan
Kir-lanan, also known as black gargoyles, stalkers, and the godless, were gargoyle-like creatures that appeared on Toril during the Time of Troubles in 1358 DR. Appearing similar to the more common gargoyle, kir-lanan had huge bat-like wings and a muscular humanoid form that was covered in fine scales. Since their arrival in 1358 DR, the kir-lanan held an unrelenting enmity towards all deities. This dislike of the gods was such that the kir-lanan never worshiped any of them and consequently never made use of divine magic.

Wight
A wight is an undead creature reanimated through its sheer violence and hatred, arising again after having either been transformed by another wight, or after having stricken a deal with an evil deity to return to some semblance of life in exchange for seeking the destruction of all living things. Withered, twisted husks of their former selves, Wights are a grotesque sight that, in their reanimated state, crave the lifeforce of others in a manner akin to an addiction. They instinctively dislike sunlight, yet they are not harmed by it. Wights in these lands appear unable to drain an individual to the point of becoming a wight themselves.
