Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ltheb Silverfrond" data-source="post: 3557409" data-attributes="member: 39867">I allow the PHB races, but currently not half orc, as in the setting I am currently running there are no orcs on the current continent. (but possibly else ware) I would allow many of the crazy elven subraces (gray elves, wild elves, etc) but not drow. (Again, not currently present in setting) If I ran a setting where the above races were common, they would most definitely be in.If the game starts around 3rd or higher level I would allow any reasonable monstrous race. By reasonable, I mean it isnt totally silly (Fiend Folio's 'Keepers' are an example) and could be easily explained without having to work in too much new material to the campaign, and obviously isn't broken. I let one player play a Minotaur, and another played a half-celestial cleric in a short-term game. (Big mistake on his part; game started level 5 or so, and so he had like 20 Hp for most of the game when everyone else had 30-50)Other races I like and would implement if they fit my setting:Warforged - The ability to play a Terminator trumps any reason not to play them. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Drow - I like the drow, and a chaotic group of murderers with ninja skills make for good opposition to PCs. Interesting player race option for roleplaying, if the player doesn't make a Drizzt clone.</blockquote>
