Selecting different races will have an effect on the character's stats and abilities. Half-ogres are very tall and heavy and therefore cannot wear most armor, and their hands are too big to wield guns. While most other races feel a little uneasy around these huge creatures, there usually is not any open discrimination.
Elves can be rather arrogant to all races, but they especially disdain dwarves.
These are short, stocky, bearded people who tend to be miners and builders. Dwarves dislike elves but are respectful to humans and gnomes. In build and appearance, they resemble their human parents more, but some half-elves possess the pointed ears and pale, delicate features associated with their elvish parents. People usually discriminate against them when they discover their race. Short with very big noses, Gnomes tend to be a hard-working people.
