D&D 4E A mystery Race in 4E FRCG (Rich Baker scoop)

[I'm A Banana]

The new Drizzt novel seems to point to orcs being more playable, at least in the Silver Marches.

An orc write-up as a race would be very, very cool.

Possibly Aasimar, but they surprised me a little with Dragonborn, so I'm looking forward to the surprises they might have in store for FR.

We know from R&C that 4thed will be aas free.

4thed will have celestials as the "light-side counterpart" to tieflings. "You'll meet a race of celestials who have plunged through the transforming fires as the tiefling".

So I call it thus: celestials will be the new PC race in the 4th ed FRPG.

My hopes are either for Genasi (for their PS potential ) or Orcs (a playable orc race would be great, I loved Orkworld by John Wick )

Gnomes

Rich stated in an earlier post a few days ago that gnomes might or might not make the FR Player's Guide, but he wasn't sure.

Are there any groups in the Realms that would be likely to make a wholesale pact with upper planar beings? One of the FR analogues to ancient Egypt, Babylon and the like, perhaps?

My money is on derro.

Whatever Race X is, I only hope that it isn't lame. Or half-elf.

 

[Nahat Anoj]

I hope the mystery race is a full-blooded orc.

I think that a race introduced in the FRCS will be FR specific.

Writing up Gnomes up solely in the FRCS would cause a howl of outrage from many, many quarters - for example.

So, what race is uniquely a FR playable race as opposed to other settings?
