What 'other' races have you played

Brazeku · Dec 21, 2007

Well, here we have a spinoff thread, based upon the lovely core races thread elsewhere on this page. Now, anyone who knows me knows that I have a boiling hard-on for strange and unusual races. My personal homebrew only retains humans from the standard list, whereas everything else is 'other'. So, what 'others' have you played? Feel free to add some details if it isn't included on the list.

Two changelings, one in a short lived game, one in a game that just started. Both have been/are fun.

I've played a kobold, in a very short lived solo campaign. I want to play more kobolds. Kobolds UPON kobolds.

I'd also love to play a tri-keen, but have never had the opportunity.

Oh jeeze, I can't believe I forgot insect people, and yet included 'disembodied intelligences'. Shame on me!

PS Thri-Kreen are pretty rad, or at least were in second ed. Never tried one in the current version.

And crap, I wanted that poll to be multiple choice enabled. Any way I can change that?

I was gonna say...

I've played minotaurs (Dragonlance-style), thri-kreen, a lightning draconian (love the noble dracs!), and probably several things I can't remember.

Er, "none of the above"

Thri-kreen in Darksun and also in the old spaceship-fantasy game (I forget the name) where it was very appropriate.

Dragon in an all-dragon campaign.

Lizardfolk are a favorite of mine.

My son liked playing an earth elemental (he's young, so it worked really well).

I also DM, so I play lots of races (different, I know.)

Yes.

I mean, I can be human any ol' time.

All but Angels and Disembodied Intellects. On the other hand I played a Fallen Angel once does that count for Angel? Cause you know being Fallen I figured it kind of wasn't an angel anymore.

Brazeku · Dec 21, 2007

Thri-kreen seem to be a favorite.

And yes, lizardfolk. For whatever reason, although I like draconics, I like lizardfolk a whole lot more. I don't know what it is, seeing as they look similar, but the feel is different - tribal. I remember seeing this picture of an iguana-like lizardman back in the old humanoid's handbook who was done up in a meso-american outfit, ever since then I've loved the idea of Aztec lizardfolk.

Edit: Also, to Heavenshallburn: I would say that a fallen angel would more likely fall under demon. And you're not missing anything by not playing a disembodied intellect, I'll tell you those things are a bundle of campaign problems unless everyone else follows suit.
