[QUOTE="Green Knight, post: 4187629, member: 2723"] They're designed for player use, actually. DM's don't need PC stats to create monster NPC's. Only players need PC stats. As for Half-Orcs, Rich Baker said a while back that they'll probably be eventually introduced through DDI, so Half-Orcs aren't gone. Someone did say something about using Orcs for your Half-Orc characters, but that doesn't mean that Half-Orcs are gone. It just means that the person in question was suggesting that Half-Orc players should use the stats for Orcs until the Half-Orc stats are out. Eight, actually. Dragonborn, Dwarves, Eladrin, Elves, Halflings, Half-Elves, Humans, and Tieflings. But yeah, assuming a 320 page PHB II, they can pack in quite a bit. The PHB I is giving us eight races and eight classes. Imagine how much more we'd get if it didn't include the game rules, or the chapter on skills, and if the equipment chapter and feats chapter were much smaller? 10 races and 10 classes may not be altogether out of bounds. Assuming six pages for each race, and 15 for each class, we're talking 210 pages. That still leaves 110 pages for additional magic items, equipment, new feats, Epic Destinies, and so on. [/QUOTE]
