Bring tabletop fifth-edition fantasy to Valheim. Choose from 58 playable races, 13 classes with 49 subclasses all the way to level 20, 52 feats and 199 spells, pick a background and a patron god, face over 100 monsters from the fifth-edition SRD - up to ancient dragons and the Tarrasque, hunt for magic items - every weapon, armour piece and magic item has its own model - and grow in power as you defeat the Forsaken. Hire companions who find their way through anything (and fly, if their race or class can), and let the built-in Dungeon Master run a story-driven campaign for your group - talking with you, running scenes, and even speaking aloud.

Plays in 12 languages: English, Français, Italiano, Deutsch, Español (España and Latinoamérica), Русский, Português (Brasil), Polski, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語 and 한국어. It follows Valheim's language setting.

Features

Races (58)

Every race has its own racial abilities and its own look: skin and hair tones plus hand-built horns, ears, tails, tusks, snouts, beaks, crests, manes, fins, crystals, shells and wings.

  • Fairy: small, winged and fey. Gossamer wings that fold at rest and beat in flight, pointed ears, a cat-like tail, Druidcraft and Faerie Fire as racial spells, plus a full appearance customizer.
  • Flyers: Skyfolk and Owlkin (feathered wings), Glidefolk (glide membranes), Fairy. Aesborn grow radiant wings during Radiant Awakening.
  • Flying skill: flying trains its own skill, which makes flight cheaper on stamina the way Run does for running.
  • Plus: Half-Elf, Versatile Human, High Elf, Wood Elf, Drow, Season Elf, Shadow Elf, Dwarf, Highland Dwarf, Duergar, Halfling, Sturdy Halfling, Gnome, Woodland Gnome, Deep Gnome, Tiefling, Dragonborn (all ten colors), Elemental-kin (Emberkin, Windkin, Stonekin, Tidekin), Goliath, Firbolg, Catfolk, Shellfolk, Triton, Lizardfolk, Tuskfolk, Minotaur, Kobold, Goblin, Bugbear, Orc, Half-Orc, Serpentblood, Mindwarden, Witchblood, Runeforged, Harefolk, Satyr, Lionfolk and Moonbloods (Hide, Fang, Swift).
  • Small races shrink, big races grow. Carry weight, stealth, damage resistances and movement all vary by race.
  • Darkvision for the races that have it, and Stonecunning: dwarves, duergar and deep gnomes sense metal ore nearby. Dwarven Resilience, Fey Ancestry and Dragonborn breath that grows with your level.
  • Body traits: claws, horns and bites on unarmed strikes, Shellfolk natural armour, fast swimmers (Triton, Tidekin, Lizardfolk, Shellfolk), holding your breath before drowning, and Sunlight Sensitivity for Drow, Duergar and Kobolds.
