Humanoids share several traits. The first and probably most important similarity between the nonhuman races is their possession of racial special abilities. Secondly, only humanoids and demihumans may become multi-classed characters, however, they are forbidden from becoming dual-classed. There are no racial level limits for humanoids in Fälgorna, however, there are limitations on the classes that may be played by a character from a nonhuman race. Nonhumans never roll for a special ability on the tables in Chapter 4.

The humanoid races include: goblins, half-ogres, hobgoblins, kobolds, lizard men, orcs, and half-orcs.
