A Race is a type of humanoid creature that a player can choose for their Player Characters. Although in D&D there are many 'monster races', in DDO the term 'race' generally refers only to Player Character options.

Each Race has certain innate modifiers that make them different. These modifiers can include higher or lower abilities, skills, feats, and special modifiers. This page gives a brief overview of each race's capabilities, but you should look at each race's page for full information.

Races

As of Update 36 Patch 3 there are a total of 17 possible races in the game: 11 basic races plus 6 'iconic' races, based on the Eberron and Forgotten Realms campaign settings from Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 and 4th editions. Free to Play players can freely choose from the basic races of Human, Dwarf, Elf or Halfling, but must purchase any or all of Aasimar, Dragonborn, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Warforged, and all Iconic races that they care to play. The Drow race can either be purchased or (recommended) easily unlocked on a server for free by achieving 400 favor with any single character.

Racial Ability Modifiers

Most Races have innate changes to their abilities (with Human as the 'unmodified' norm) - Orcs are stronger but less charismatic, Elves are more dextrous but have less constitution, and so on. These changes are applied after building a character, so are 'free' modifiers - you don't pay more to get more, it's just 'more' (or 'less', as the case may be).

Sonic 2006 for pc. Well, he had heard many things about Sonic 2006, all of them negative. A game universally panned by the gaming press, its GameRankings score of 45% was supported by tales of terrible controls, a terrible camera, an even worse story, and the longest and most pointless load times this side of the new millennium. Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 PC Version - Wave Ocean Gameplay More info about this will be coming soon, Be sure to subscribe for more as progress videos will be c.

Besides these innate racial modifiers, each race has access to its own Racial Enhancement Tree. Within these, characters of different races have the option to spend Action Points to gain additional ability increases. These are optional and separate from the innate modifiers mentioned previously. Chinese stealth armor new vegas.

When creating a character in Dungeons & Dragons Online, it's important to consider how a given race would aid your desired build. Any race in DDO can be any class, and they all can multiclass as well. However, some races are better suited for certain classes, while some may be somewhat less ideal for certain others. For instance, if you want a 'strong' character, a half-orc (+2 Str) might be a better choice than a Halfling (-2 Str). However, there are more differences than just 'ability modifiers' to consider when choosing a race - it is recommended to view each individual race's page before deciding on the race and the class(es) you wish to play.

Note that in DDO there are no differences at all between female and male characters, except cosmetic (i.e. their appearance).

Warforged

Main article: Warforged

These are known as living constructs and are unique to the world of Eberron, the Warforged that a player plays are sentient beings and are regarded as a race on equal footing with the same rights as any other race. Warforged do not wear the body armor that other races are able to wear, instead they have inherent armor and use Docents to give them extra abilities.

Stats
+2 Constitution, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma.
Benefits
Immune to Poison, Sleep Effects, Negative Levels, Paralysis, Hold Person/Monster, Flesh to Stone, Disease, Nausea, Fatigue & Exhaustion. Sorcerers and Wizards (including Hirelings that can Repair Warforged) can use Repair spells to heal Warforged. Do not breathe underwater and have an inherent stacking 25% fortification. Has the effects of the Diehard feat by default. Swapping docents is instantaneous and they do not have to wait for the timer that other races get when changing armor.
Flaws
Cure and Heal spells from Divine Casters have a -50% penalty when cast upon Warforged. Rust monsters will do more damage against a Warforged, have a chance to stun them with every attack, and will seek them out in battle. Warforged are vulnerable to the Deconstruct spell that is carried by artificers.
Favored Classes
With their bonus constitution they make good Fighters and Barbarians. They also make excellent Sorcerers, Artificers, and Wizards because of the arcane caster's ability to use Repair spells which are effective on Warforged. While a somewhat niche choice, Warforged Favored Souls can attain multiple types of DR, since their level 20 DR works with their DR from enhancements and the various Warforged DR feats.
Deity
Sovereign Host, Lord of Blades, Silver Flame.
Inherent racial feats
Uses a special kind of armor only, called Docents. The armor bonus and onus depends of the body feat you choose.
Free to Play
