Message: <blockquote data-quote="InVinoVeritas" data-source="post: 3559766" data-attributes="member: 41485">I usually just use the standard races, but I made a world where there were nine unique races, all PC races, and all the only sentient beings native to the world. Other sentient, non-humanoid beings came either from the gods' own planes of existence or from an alien world.They were:Charboncles: Three-eyed geniuses with a reckless sense of experimentation.Beastlings: Powerful anthropomorphized animals with ties to nature.Amborae: Beautiful, frivolous beings with vines and flowers for hair.Entamborae: Dark underground cousins of the Amborae, with fungus, thorns, and roots for hair.Grachens: Solid, stoic beings apparently made of living stone.The Wizened: Gnarled wretches who lived in the swamp, were cold to the touch, and knew more about death than healthy.Strakhans: Ferocious long-limbed beings with stars in their eyes--nocturnal philosopher barbarians.High Ones: Tall, regal humanoids with mastery over skills and could adopt aspects of the other races.Low Ones: Small humanoids usually beneath the notice of others, with the ability to slip from others' minds.I tried to make the races different enough to be enjoyable, but similar enough to the standard races to be comfortable. I've had a bunch of great characters come out of this from my players over the years. High One dwarves. Child-like Wizened raptor-riders. Suave ladies'-man Grachens. Sniveling Beastlings. Inept, innocent Entamborae. A whole lot of fun!</blockquote>
