Races

D&D is Racist... and our races are different! 

I am making it much more racist but inclusive! I also made some racial changes because it mattered to me. You should be aware of the changes if you’re thinking about characters already. Your racial variants matter! Choose well!

There are additional differences and divisions between races within factions; more information on that HERE.
