__NOTOC__
There were originally 12 playable races at the release of EverQuest. The Ruins of Kunark expansion added the [[Iksar]] race, making 13. The Froglok, Vah Shir, and Drakkin races will likely never come to the Project 1999 servers, as they were released in later expansions.

=Base Stats=

Please note that base stat totals are not the end-all be-all; not only do racial abilities make a big difference, but not all stat points are equal either. For example, a character will either benefit from WIS or INT (typically whichever is higher), but never both, and AGI has heavily diminished returns beyond 75 (though AGI drops temporarily when under 50% HP, and a cushion to keep it from dipping below 75 can mean the difference between life and death).

=Experience Modifiers=

To view a list of experience requirements for all class/race combinations, see this [[Sortable Race Class Matrix|Sortable Matrix]].

=Faction Alignment=

A brief explanation:

* Races that are Good can typically enter other Good cities without being attacked.
* Races that are Evil can typically enter other Evil cities without being attacked.
* Neutral races can typically enter any city, and Good/Evil races can typically enter theirs.
* Iksar are hated by every race, and other races will likely be attacked upon entering their city.
* There ARE other factors, including Deity and Class choice, completed quests, etc.

=* Listed below are all of the innate (non-skill) racials: *=
==Barrel Roll==
Male Dwarves have a unique jump animation, and while it is purely cosmetic (ie. has no in-game benefit), it ''is'' pretty cool. To see a demonstration watch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFXUYl2ljqI this video]:

{{youtube|xFXUYl2ljqI}}

==Frontal Stun Immunity==
[[Ogre|Ogres]] cannot be stunned from the front, which gives them an advantage over other races.

* Enemy attacks can still push you backwards, which will interrupt your spell casting.
* Tip: You can stand in a corner to avoid being pushed back.
* Enemy attacks still have a chance to interrupt on hit. This chance is increased on some attacks such as bash.

==Increased Armor Class==
[[Iksar]] start with a +15 AC bonus (+17 if they are a [[Warrior]]) over other races, which scales with level, increasing up to a maximum of +35. However, they cannot wear most pre-Velious plate armor.

==Increased Consumption Rate==
[[Barbarian]]s, [[Halfling]]s, [[Ogre]]s, and [[Troll]]s all consume one unit of food and drink every 30 mins, while the remaining races consume one per hour.

==Increased HP Regeneration==
Both [[Iksar]] and [[Troll]]s have higher HP regeneration rates (per tick):

{| class="eoTable2" style="text-align: center; width: 0%"
|-
! colspan="3" style="text-align: center"|Other Races!! !!colspan="3" style="text-align: center"|Iksar/Troll
|-
! Standing !! Feigned !! Sitting !! Level Range !! Standing !! Feigned !! Sitting
|-
| 1 || 1 || 2 || 1-19 || 2 || 2 || 4
|-
| 1 || 1 || 3 || 20-49 || 2 || 2 || 6
|-
| 1 || 1 || 4 || 50 || 2 || 2 || 8
|-
| 2 || 3 || 5 || 51-55 || 6 || 8 || 12
|-
| 3 || 4 || 6 || 56-59 || 10 || 12 || 16
|-
| 4 || 5 || 7 || 60 || 12 || 14 || 18
|-
|}

A "tick" happens every 6 seconds (server side).

* It does not matter whether you are sitting or standing between seconds 1 and 5, only the 6th second.

==Infravision==
Slightly improved night vision, but not as good as the [[Dark Elf|Dark Elf]]'s Ultravision. Has a slightly reddish tint.

''Did you know? On Live in the original client, Infravision would cause enemies to glow red in the dark (somewhat similar to "predator heat vision"). On Project1999 the screen is tinted red instead.''

==Ultravision==
:''See also: [[Ultravision]] (Spell)''
Extremely improved night vision, better than Infravision. Ultravision has a slightly purple tint to it.
