There are many subraces available on Higher Ground, each with varying bonuses and penalties. Non-standard subraces (denoted with Secret, UR, or BUR) require a specific item to be acquired during gameplay in order to unlock. Subraces are case-sensitive and must be used with their corresponding base race as specified by the tables on this page. If you have not yet unlocked a subrace, you will not receive any of the subrace benefits if you try to create a character with that subrace. To see what subraces you have currently unlocked, use the !list subraces command while logged in.

Categorization of races

Table of races

Legend

  • Terminology
    • FC: A Favored Class does not contribute to that character's [Multiclass Penalty].
    • BC: A Bonus Class gives a bonus to all experience points gained for that character.
  • Appearance:
    • Y: Appearance is changed. Armor will not be visible, only weapons and possibly a shield if equipped.
    • W: Only wings are added.
    • S: Appearance and size change to small.
    • L: Appearance and size change to large.

The subraces with Y, S, and L appearance changes are physically changed. A Halfling Lycan is no longer small sized and can use a tower shield. Similarly, a Gnome Illithid is medium sized and can use a staff and torch, which is not the case for a regular Gnome.
