What is a RAC file?

RAC files mostly belong to NWN Explorer. Neverwinter Nights RAC files are used to define race information in the game. They hold data that determines the attributes, abilities, and restrictions of playable races and, in some cases, can also include character details.
These files are primarily employed by game modders for customizing the game experience.

Use Case: They provide the configuration for racial features within Neverwinter Nights.

Alternate Use: Some versions serve as character files with similar data.

Editing Note: Back up your file before making any changes and use a dedicated tool for modifications.

FilExt.com note: To view or edit these files, use specialized software like NWN Explorer. Standard text editors often do not display the data in a user-friendly form.
