| Elf | +2 Maximum Mana | Start | Amazing Wizards. |

| Hafling | +1 Healing Potion | Start | Great for many challenge missions, and for thieves. |
| Gnome | +1 Mana Potion | Start | Great for thieves. |
| Goblin | +10 gold | Defeat the Crypt challenge with any race. | Natural fit for tinkers. Goblin Wizards are useful for farming gold. |

This means the bonus scales while you level up, your total bonus Max Health equals Level * (Dwarf Conversion + Health Powerups). This is NOT a percentage bonus. Buying a +10 Max Health item will not increase the bonus from Health Powerups or Dwarf's Glyph Conversion, and likewise worshipping Dracul will not decrease the bonus.
In addition, 3 special races exist as unlockables, that are a both a race and class together. Each of these three cause significant changes to the core mechanics of the game.
| Race | Converts glyphs to... | Unlock |
|---|---|---|
| Gorgon | +5% Death Gaze | Beat Snake Pit with a Monk |
| Vampire | +5% Lifesteal | Beat Crypt with an Assassin |
| Half-dragon | +20% Knockback damage | Beat Library with a Warlord |
