D&D 5E (2014) What new linages do you want?

[Fenris-77]

Bear people. Kobold Press has already done it, but it would be cool to see in an official 5E supplement.

 

[Laurefindel]

I'm probably going against the grain here, but unless we're going campaign-specific, I'd like less "fantastic creature" PC races/species/lineages, and divide humans in a dozen distinct lineages.

 

[Silvercat Moonpaw]

I just thought there were already rules for gnoll PCs in one of the supplements. I could be wrong.

I have been operating under the opposite assumption.

Sadly, there aren’t. Not in any official supplement, at least.

Yeah, that.

 

[ART!]

I guess I'd like to see more monsters-as-playable-races, humanoid versions of monsters (like half-giants for each kind of giant, and what would an ankheg-folk be like for instance?), and some races with more than two eyes or arms.

 

[Fenris-77]

I thought there was an official Gnoll player race too. I think I was thinking of the write-up in Volo's, which is great but doesn't make them playable.

 

[Scribe]

Hmm.

I'm having a hard time thinking of one that's really missing, especially after the Space UA.

Either an Undead lineage (if lineage is roughly equal to templates) or Derro, or a plant person race.

Yeah, that seems good. One of those.

 

[ART!]

Oh! Just thought of one: an official dryad race. Fey tree people.

 

[Fenris-77]

My Ranger is excited to be bringing his own foliage with him everywhere. I hide behind Groot!

 

[GMMichael]

I tend to prefer less linage. I'll take a few interesting lines about the race, but I'm more into the bullets about ASIs and cool special abilities.

There are many many game systems out there that allow a player to create a char from scratch, like Heroes. It would be vastly easier for the OP to play that game, than changing the 5e system.
