grace is more an elven thing and looking all light boned and sort of ethereal, like an asian boy band or deer in foggy woods, also ties into the magic they have going on. pillars of fantasy races as no one seems to be interested in making many of their own any more, which is depressing. but...

out there means something much more high-concept, something weird As for why humans are like the bread of the sandwich, largely boring but providing structure and some familiarity to the setting. elves are grace they add an ethereal quality and have long had supporters dwaves are enduring...

Goblins are iconic as cannon fodder and would take work to reformat into something more fitting, not that it is a bad idea to do that more that it would need to be done Something aquatic could work, but grung would need work Genasi do not work as a major species as they are just mixed human...

I am honestly considering if this is the optimal possible setting species list. human the base line elves dwarves dragonborn a second furry race out there option number one out there option number two.

my point is that for teiflings it is irrational for them not to be mostly human unless they are derived from a different base. However, your point existed more out of a lack of definition, the other options are harder to rp as they are less defined thus if they where better defined, you would...

I think some of it is more that many are ill-defined, we know elves and dwarves very well. other parts is that some are fundamentally human offshoots and thus are mostly us in the ways that matter like tiefling

something that makes them more relatable perhaps a lot of them end up the burned-out "gifted child" the burden of expectation

it is a start, but does not scream angel.

aasimar also lack a distinct look they might as well be human plus

a cool look and angst. Honestly, I more question why the traditionists favour the halflings and gnomes, they do not seem to do anything with them, and they are the least useful at present for world-building? I could see them going down a one liniage per major state, as that would be useful to...

true but aasimars do not even have that.

aasimars have no iconic look they are boring like that.

Dargonborn as a core race at least makes more sense than halflings or gnomes, who do not build massive buildings to fill with treasure. Tieflings are just human mutants, thus easy to fit anywhere you have an evil empire making packs with hell may I ask why?

it is not like most of them even know what to do with the base options save copy them over and over

It also does not let us have the cool monster or the freaky good guy horror. There is a difference between monstrous and ugly. this is monstrous now this guy is ugly

we get to many dumb, brutish, stupid and ugly. plenty of people want to be monstrous just not the above.

so what is so different about player options?

yeah why is that? I can get the monsters who are just one offs or like another type of undead, but some monsters have whole societies around them, meaning they are no less difficult to integrate into a setting with all the terra known.
