Question about the different races.

I`m currently downloading the client and while waiting I`ve decided to take a look at how my future character should look like etc.
I`ve come to the conclusion that I`ll be mostly going out to do close hand combat with creatures and such.
As for my question:
Is there a specific race in the game that is better at combat than the other and because of that have better armour/ weapons ? ( I could immagine that there are differences, one race being better in magic, the next one in foraging etc.)
I`m hoping you guys can help me out here. I look forward meeting a lot of you ingame.

Nope, no difference. Many have wished for it, but there really isn't. Choose your race based on the lore and how it fits your RP best. Or just which one looks best to you.

Thanks!
I`ll just pick out the best looking charater then.

Actually there is one small difference: protections.
All homins have a base protection of 10% against the base elemental types (acid, cold, rot) but then, depending on your race, you have 20% in your racial and 0% in the other types. So as a Matis, you always have 20% poison absorb, Tryker shockwave, etc. The resists on the other hnd depend on what ecosystem you are in. If you're in the lakelands, your lake resist will be lowered by 10 points, etc.
It's a racial difference, but not really worth it when creating a character. Just go with what suits you best.
Another one is fame, which may be a bit more significant, altho not that much... any fame issues can be changed at any time... your starting race just gives you a head start towards a certain fame type. Nothing to worry about as a new player
