Characters can be many different races in TAG. The GM may limit which races are playable in a certain world system he has created. The lore for each race is to be established by the GM as his world evolves in game play.
Race Descriptions[]
There are many races in the TAG world and the GM can choose to add, modify, remove or restrict a race from the world. The GM makes these decisions in order to enhance the world he has created. The GM can make some races outcasts, or privileged. The GM can dictate which race a character or character class can be. Remember these decisions are to be made by the GM in order to improve the game experience and not arbitrary restrictions.
The following two tables describe the races:
Race Description Table[]
This table provides a general description as well as giving height and weight. While height and weight often do not impact game play, sometimes they are important. You will want to record these items on your character sheet for future reference.
