From NWN2Wiki

There are many races in Faerûn, each with their own strengths and weaknesses relative to the others. Races are divided into subraces to showcase slight differences in appearance, outlook, and adaptation. Other than a few minor differences, members of a subrace resemble the race they are from.

The following races and sub-races are included in NWN2:

Race	Subrace(s)	ECL	Ability Score Modifiers	Favored Class

* Any as a favored class indicates that this race's favored class is the highest base class that is in use on the character at the time. Prestige classes are never used in the calculation, only base classes. The highest base class is thus always ignored regardless of which class is highest at the moment. Thus, the favored class is subject to change at any point in the character's history.

[edit] NWN comparison

• Though NWN did include the option to specify a subrace for a character, the only effect was to replace your normal race's name on your character sheet. There was no other built-in functionality.
