Haven allows allow character races that NWN2 and MotB allows character creation of, without the need for an Unusual Background Request (UBR) nor a Highly Unusual Background Request (HUBR):

• Human
  
• Shield Dwarf
  
• Gold Dwarf
  
• Gray Dwarf (Duergar)
  
• Sun Elf
  
• Moon Elf
  
• Wood Elf
  
• Wild Elf
  
• Drow
  
• Rock Gnome
  
• Svirfneblin
  
• Strongheart halfling (Hin)
  
• Lightfoot halfling (Hin)
  
• Half-Elf
  
• Half-drow (also Crinti)
  
• Half-orc
  
• Gray Orc
  
• Aasimar
  
• Tiefling
  
• Air Genasi
  
• Earth Genasi
  
• Fire Genasi
  
• Water Genasi
  
• Yuan-Ti Pureblood
  

Additionally, with approved UBR you may play:

• Avariel (Winged elf) (pick moon elf as race, pale skin color recommended, submit avatar request for tail and/or wings)
  
• Aquatic Elf (Sea Elf, Alu'Tel'Quessir) (pick wild elf as race, use United Colors to pick green skin)
  
• Native Outsiders of:
  
• Fey'ri (pick elf as race, submit avatar request for tail and/or wings) Fey'ri tend to be Native Outsiders
  
• Whispling (pick Halfling as race, submit avatar request for tail).
  
• Half-Tanar'ri (Demon) with special circumstances and limitations (pick Tiefling as race). Special distinctions are made for Native Outsiders born on this plane. They are weaker but can play independently. Stronger infernal outsiders must be bound to the plane by Telron Elvenforge by way of Myth Holm.
  
• Half-Baatezu (Devil) with special circumstances and limitations(pick Tiefling as race) Special distinctions are made for Native Outsiders born on this plane. They are weaker but can play independently. Stronger abyssal outsiders must be bound to the plane by Telron Elvenforge by way of Myth Holm.
  
• Half-Celestial (Angel) with special circumstances and limitations(pick Aasimar as race)
  

With HUBR you can play:

• Half-Dragon pick whichever race you like. Wing-token granted with approval. This is half-dragon by birth or heritage, not to be confused with the half-dragon template granted by RDD Prc.
  
• Full outsiders:
  
• Half-Tanar'ri (Demon) with special circumstances and limitations (pick Tiefling as race). Special distinctions are made for Native Outsiders born on this plane. They are weaker but can play independently. Stronger infernal outsiders must be bound to the plane by Telron Elvenforge by way of Myth Holm.
  
• Half-Baatezu (Devil) with special circumstances and limitations(pick Tiefling as race) Special distinctions are made for Native Outsiders born on this plane. They are weaker but can play independently. Stronger abyssal outsiders must be bound to the plane by Telron Elvenforge by way of Myth Holm.
  
• Half-Celestial (Angel) with special circumstances and limitations(pick Aasimar as race)
  
• On very rare occasions we will allow full Celestial, Baatezu, or Tanar'ri characters for experienced known players. Lower planers must be bound to Myth Holm and Telron's will.
  

Various forms of Dragon kin are allowed, again with UBR, but not Dragonborn as they don't appear in the realms until what is the future from our point of view.

Also open to new ideas, particularly when they fit with Forgotten Realms canon.

Not allowing certain monster races as player character races:
Goblin, Kobold, Full dragon, furry-types, Vampires (or any form of undead), werewolves, dopplegangers and shapeshifters.

The following races are not likely to be approved:

• Feline race, catfolk, catling, etc. (including Rakshasa)
  
• Canine race, dogfolk, canid, etc.
  
• Fish race, sea-folk, etc.
  
• Rakshasa-descended fey’ri
  
• Dragonborn
  
• Extra-"special" combinations like half-celestial/half-dragon
  

Custom races are usually for RP purposes only, we don't do attr or feat bonuses.
