Battlespire:Races

When creating a new character, you can choose from six races of Tamriel. The Argonian, Khajiit, Orcish and Imperial races (traditional for other games in the series) are unavailable as character options in Battlespire.

It should be noted that the racial specifics do not function as their description may imply. Your class will define the special traits of your character, however you can adjust them at will during the character creation. Because of this, your choice of race and gender affects only the skill bonuses of your character, these can not be altered. As an example the Nords' resistance to frost is not applied by default for a Nord character, and since there is no paralyzation effect in the game, the implied High Elven immunity to Paralysis is also redundant.

Breton

Highly intelligent and willful, the Bretons have a natural bond with the forces of magicka. Many great sorcerers have come out of their home province of High Rock, and even the humblest of Breton can boast a high resistance to the destructive powers of magicka.

High Elf

The tall, golden-skinned High Elves are easily equal to the Bretons in sorcerous ability due to their high intelligence, force of will, and agility. On the one hand, they are more susceptible to spells than the people of High Rock. On the other hand, by their unique nature, they are completely immune to paralyzation.
