![[1]](#cite_note-steven-backgrounds.png-1){kind=link}
- We want players to have the freedom to choose the race they want to play because they're excited about it, and avoid situations where players feel forced to play a specific race because of gameplay benefits.[3]
![[3]](#cite_note-steven-backgrounds-racials.png-3){kind=link}
- Races are not gender or class locked.[4][5]
- Race likely won't affect the artisan system.[2][6]
- Race does not affect a character's base stats.[7]
 | Some of the following information has not been recently confirmed by the developers and may not be on the current development roadmap. |
- Some classes may work better with certain races but nothing is enforced.[4]
- A player's choice of race will influence their racial augments.[5]
