This has no effect on its own but determines how certain abilities, spells, items or even monsters react to this particular race. All playable races are of humanoid type and one of three possible families: fey, humans, and genies. Humans and cyclopes are all humans. Whenever an effect refers to humans, it refers to all kinds of humans, including cyclopes and other races of the human family. Elves and gnomes are fey, creatures that originated from a wild and untamed plane of existence a very long time ago. Djinns, Dwarves, and Tritons are genies, creatures birthed by titans at the dawn of time and having a strong connection to elemental forces of the world.FAVORED CLASSAny character can take levels in one and only one class of their choice.Fey have one bonus favored class, depending on a race. They can multiclass between their first class and the favored class if desired.Humans have 4 or 5 bonus favored classes. They can multiclass between their first class and all those classes if desired.Certain feats, such as versatility, expand access to classes.
