I wonder because the PHB specifically calls out a bunch of races to double check to ensure they are part of the game.What if warforged were in the PHB? or giants, or thri-kreen, is there any race you could think of that could be in there that you or your group would disallow?The game is a collaborative storytelling effort and I think compromise amongst everyone involved is necessary for it to work. Or put another way, certain races or other choices can have a negative impact on others' fun.If a new player shows up to our group and wants to play a tielfing, I say no, and it is okay if that is a deal breaker. We are all happier for it.I also play in a group where the majority of PCs tend to be human because the players find that demi-humans limit their creativity. Other groups differ and that is okay.</blockquote>
