[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 6747290, member: 29398"] You can only *choose* from a short list of very common races, because they're...well, common. If you want to take a chance you can roll on a table that has all sorts of less-common options mixed in with the usual suspects but you have to take what you get. This tends to keep the rare-as-PC races rare (it's done a great job of keeping the Gnome population in check, for example), but still have some variety show up now and then. Even with that over the years my campaigns have seen a minor Devil, a half-YuanTi, a Dryad, a Drow, a Leprechaun, a Centaur, a Gnoll, and a half-Skulk/half-Frostman all as PC's entering a party as rolled, along with some...let's just say interesting...crossbreeds including two PCs who had divinity in their family tree.
