[QUOTE="Riastlin, post: 5917249, member: 94022"] I went with other. Mainly because I just absolutely love vampires as villains. More than a tad cliche I know, but they are just so close to perfect imho. Particularly prior to 4ed, vampires were great because they had the inherent cool factor already built in (again realizing that this is a matter of opinion), but they also made awesome recurring villains because they are just so dang hard to kill. They were weakened a bit in 4ed, but there's still the Blood Cauldron (I think) variant which is essentially as hard to kill as prior edition vamps. I will concede though that if your vampires sparkle, you should just be shot. :p If; however, we were to stick to the non-traditional races as per the poll, I would go with the Elves/Eladrin because they are that much less obvious and there's so many sources in terms of backgrounds and motivations to draw upon. Edit to add: Okay, this is what I get for reading and voting in the poll without reading the actual post with it. So, to be a bit more helpful, I think there are plenty of good ideas here. As for the tieflings, in my current campaign, I more or less switched them and dragonborn, making the tieflings the good guys and the dragonborn the bad guys. [/QUOTE]
