Lets get to the Character creation
I usually spend a long time in this but I think its very important :D
Each difference race has 3 difference racial powers,
and it can make a difference in game play.
There are for now 8 races.
7 are completely free,
while Drow is only for Founders.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Humans
Humans are always there in mmorpg, usually with most all-rounded race.
Its no diffrence here, Humans in NeverWinter are most safe race to go when you are not sure
which race to pick.
Racial traits : Any +2 Points of your choice
Versatile Defence :: Increases your Defence by 3%
Heroic Effort ::: Humans get additional Heroic Feat at level 10,15,20
3 extra points cant be used on paragon tree
Heroic Effort might seem confusing for now but we'll soon get to Powers.
Human's all 3 Traits are good for everyone, some might benefit more from it
but its definitely safest race to go, if you cant decided which will be best.

Elf
Elves has good stats for Wizards and Cleric and it is widely used by both
due to its 10% slow reduction which helps in dungeons when they need to kite the spawns.

Racial traits : +2 Dexterity
+2 Intelligent Or +2 Wisdom
+2 Intelligent Or +2 Wisdom
Elven Accuracy :: Increases your Critical Chance by 1%
Wild Step ::: You have 10% resistance to slows that slows your movement.
Having Dexterity is positive thing for any class due to its Critical Chance.
Given that, +2 Int or +2Wis boosts the players to have slight step ahead
when they choose Wizard or Clerics.

Dwarves
First thing that comes to my mind when I think about Dwarves in NeverWinter
they are beefy characters, while +2 Consitution sounds like a small thing,
Dwarves excels in being tank and Cleric yes cleric due to game Aggro system.
Racial traits : +2 Constitution
Half-Orc
Under many arrow tribe, these half-orcs have good stats for melee damagers
Having Dexterity is positive thing for any class due to its Critical Chance.

Stand your Ground :: Increases resistance to knock back and repel.
(It is bugged at the moment, only works in pvp
in a chance lower than 10% PvE doesnt work at all)

Cast Iron Stomach ::: You have increase damage resistance to Damage over time effects.
(Also bugged Dwarves still takes the same DoT damage from monsters)
I guess its still buggy but the wonderful stats for tank and Cleric
covers up for 2 bugs, and Im sure they 'll fix it one day.
Strength for Tanks
Wisdom for Clerics.

Halflings
Forget the stats, Personal favorite race, I've seen alot of Dwarves in mmorpg
but halflings? man they sure are getting creative.
Having +2 Dexterity and a choice of +2 Constitution, they are decent pick to any class.
Racial traits : +2 Dexterity
+2 Charisma Or +2 Constitution
Nimble Reaction :: Moves around quickly, granting 3% deflect on all incoming attacks.
Bold ::: Your fearless natural increases resistance to crowd control effect by 10%
Overall very good race for any class, with nice passives of 3% deflect
making this race more interesting for all classes

Tiefling
Tiefling in my opinion are made for DPS.
Their natural stats and passive allows for huge damage,
Racial traits : +2 Charisma
+2 Constitution Or +2 Intelligent
Bloodhunt :: Deals extra 5% damage to foes under 50% health
Infernal Wraith ::: Whenever you are hit you have 10% of chances to
lower the power of the attackerby 5% for 5seconds
Bloodhunt probably is best racial trait in damage field,
having Bloodhunt combine with builds rogue can deal terrifying damage,
for close range recommended to chose Constitution,
for Wizard Intelligent is the way
and you get a awesome tail ><

Half-Orc
Under many arrow tribe, these half-orcs have good stats for melee damagers
Racial traits : +2 Dexterity
+2 Constitution Or +2 Strength
Furious Assault :: Your Critical hits deal extra 5% damage
Swift charge ::: You gain 10% movement speed bonus when you enter into combat,
this only can occur once in every 20 seconds.
Giving Dexterity and Strength, without a doubt
Half-orc races stats are made for damage,
Due to this, Half-Orcs make great Rogue and GreatWeapon
._________________________________________________________________________________
Half-Elf
Interesting race with interesting traits,
half-elf with their given choice of stats makes a good choice for a Tank, Wizard and Clerics
It was only release after 30 days of Open Beta to players without Founder Package
this only can occur once in every 20 seconds.

Racial traits : +2 Constitution
+2 Charisma Or +2 Wisdom
Dilettante:: Grants +1 to non-ability scores.
Knack for success ::: +1% Deflect ,1% Critical Severity and 1% gold find
Charisma gives you deflect and combat advantage hence if you are planning to tank
Charisma if better choice than Wisdom
I find 1% gold find very interesting...
Dilettante makes you a good overall Wizard and Clerics
and 1% Critical severity is a nice bonus too

Drow
Currently only available after the purchase of Founder Package,
this race has interesting traits and due to this, they sometimes even have different builds from others.
Racial traits : +2 Dexterity
+2 Charisma Or +2 Wisdom
Faerie Fire:: You have 5% of applying Faerie Fire to a foe for 4 seconds,
reducing Power and Defence by 6%
reducing Power and Defence by 6%
Trance ::: You recover at camp fire twice as fast
Faerie Fire is a great trait to have as any damage class,
especially with rogue using duelist flurry giving high attack speed
Trance is also very useful because not only does it heals your faster,
but it heals your Injury twice as fast
at the moment alot of camp fire are bugged and do not heal your injury

So which race is the best?
None
Each race excels in their own field,
even though some race will give slight head start in some classes
you can always play as whatever race you want.
Lots of diversity on the idea on which race is better for which class.
Here are my opinion on which race works better with which class.
Guardian Fighter
Humans Dwarves Half-Elf
Great Weapon
Humans Dwarves Halflings Half-Orc Drow
Rogue
Humans Halflings Tiefling Half-Orc Drow
Wizard
