Avowed, set in the expansive Eora world from the Pillars of Eternity series, offers a diverse range of fantasy races, though character creation options are somewhat limited. Here's a breakdown of the playable races:

Humans (Folk)

Humans, known as Folk in Avowed, are the most common race and offer extensive customization. The character creator provides a wide array of facial presets, skin tones, and hairstyles, allowing for diverse character representation.

Elves

Elves are another playable race, visually similar to humans but distinguished by their pointed ears and slightly different facial structures.

Godlikes

While all Envoys are Godlikes in the game's narrative, players can choose to incorporate Godlike features into their character. These features include unique hairstyles and facial structures, ranging from subtle to fantastical. At launch, Avowed offers 14 Godlike facial features and four hairstyles. These options are available regardless of chosen race or body type.

Character Customization: Gender and Body Type

Avowed provides four body types: two masculine and two feminine, available for both Humans and Elves. Two masculine and two feminine voice options are also available. Players can further customize their character's pronouns, selecting from "he," "she," or "they."

Unplayable Races

While Avowed features a variety of non-playable characters (NPCs) from different Kith races (including Dwarves, Aumaua, and Orlans), these races are not currently selectable for player characters. However, Obsidian Entertainment may add more races in future updates or DLC.
