<br />
All creatures have a race. Races consist of two parts; type and sub-type. Type is usually a species, while the sub-type is a variety of the species. For example, if you choose to play as a [[Higher]], your type will be "Human", and your sub-type "Higher". This will be displayed as "Human/Higher" in the game.<br />
<br />
Type and Sub-type are used for certain abilities, most notably for [[vision#telepathy| telepathy]].<br />
The cursed's [[predator_(category)|Predator]] talent tree also heavily relies on this concept.<br />
<br />
== Playable Races ==<br />
There are nine playable races in ToME, six available by default, and three [[unlockables]].<br />
<br />
'''Bold''' numbers are bonuses.<br />
<br />
''Italic'' numbers are penalties.<br />
<br />
Racial stat modifiers do not change your base stats.<br />
