Races

A Role and Race (along with an optional Trait) make up the crux of a Hero.

Each Race grants modifiers to augment your Role, offering a unique play experience each time you choose a different combination.

You’ll find differences in all of your stats, Favored Opponent, Food Rating, and you'll gain a unique Special Ability.

Just like the Roles, you can play any Race in any of the HEXplore it volumes!
