This section covers the rules for creature types.

TYPES OF CREATURES

A creature can either be a player-character, a non-playable character, or a monster, each of which has one or more types that defines its nature as a being. Certain features interact with or explicitly target creatures of a specific type.

RACE

Each player-character belongs to a race (and possibly a subrace). Races represent a loosely defined group of sentient creatures with an established civilization, culture, or general association. Each race has its own set of unique features known as "traits."
