All told, there are eleven different races that your character can choose from. Each race has its own advantages and shortcomings. A character's race determines his or her base statistics, such as strength and intelligence, and affects the ability to resist sickness, magic or a monster's attack. Ultimately, a character's race influences which professions he or she may enter. A complete description of all Wizardry's races follows.
