# Races and Classes

## What races are available in Neverwinter?

Keep in mind that race bonuses are relatively small and that the most important thing to consider when creating your character is **how good it looks to you.** You will play with this character for many hours, maybe hundreds, even thousands, if you really like the game. There are ways to change the race or appearance of your character, but you won’t get them often, at least not for free (you can get them in the Zen Market). In the end, most of the stat bonuses can be balanced with itemization.

**Good to know:** There are Premium Races you have to buy to be able to play them (from the Zen Market or Auction House)
