[[File:Arcologies.png|thumb|Caste selection during character creation|right]]


'''Castes''' are one aspect of [[character]] creation in [[{{Gamename}}]]. There are 12 castes available. Castes are only available for True kin. Each caste has their own bonuses to stats, skills, and starting inventory. The counterpart of castes for Mutants are [[Callings]].
'''Castes''' are the [[True Kin]] subtypes that the player may choose from during character creation in [[{{gamename}}]].


Players who begin the game as a [[mutant]] will instead have a choice of [[calling]].
There are 12 '''castes''' available. Each of those '''castes''' is associated with one of the following three '''arcologies''':
* {{qud text|&GThe Toxic Arboreta of Ekuemekiyye, the Holy City}}: Castes from this arcology have extra resistance to [[bleeding]] effects and may choose {{favilink|nocturnal apex}} as their unique [[Cybernetics#Character_Creation|starting cybernetic]].
* {{qud text|&CThe Ice-Sheathed Arcology of Ibul}}: Castes from this arcology have exceptional [[cold resistance]] and may choose {{favilink|cherubic visage}} as their unique [[Cybernetics#Character_Creation|starting cybernetic]].
* {{qud text|&RThe Crustal Mortars of Yawningmoon}}: Castes from this arcology have exceptional [[heat resistance]] effects and may choose {{favilink|air current microsensor}} as their unique [[Cybernetics#Character_Creation|starting cybernetic]].

==List of Castes==
Along with their starting gear, all callings start with 2 empty {{favilink|Waterskin|plural}} and {{dice tooltip|6d8}}{{favilink|torch|plural}}.
This section shows additional details about each of the starting '''castes''', including the name of castes, their [[attribute]] bonuses, starting [[skills]], and starting equipment and items.
