Races
Races are what type of creature a character is, be it human, elf, Martian, unicorn, griffon, or goblin. Although each individual of a given race is unique, they do generally have certain characteristics that make them the race that they are. Because everything in Dice Mob is simplified, almost all of these characteristics are going to take the form of skills chosen by the player and approved by the GM. Aside from those things that make them unique, they also apply the general characteristics of size and movement speed and their associated hit points and defenses that govern all creatures.
Humanoid Races
These are suggestions of common medieval races and which skills, professions, special abilities, and weaknesses they should possess automatically. If a profession is listed, that means the race is all taught a third profession in addition to the childhood and adult professions they have chosen (or were forced upon them in their culture.)
