If I outright remove a race, rather than not having it in the game, I put it as extremely rare. For example, Humans. They've been done a bit to death, and I decided I wanted two "Human-like" races – Half-elves and Goliaths – to take their place. But if someone REALLY had to be a Human, could not take no for an answer, then there are extremely rare cases where a Half-elf and a Goliath have a kid, and the result is the Mongrel that is a Human. But usually, people play Human because they're versatile and because they're few assumptions on the race in terms of social casting. That means Half-elves are probably the way to go in my setting, where Half-elves aren't the mongrels, but the norm.</blockquote>
