[QUOTE="MortalPlague, post: 4189190, member: 62721"] I may be a bit unique on this, but my main concern is the [i]race[/i] creep. I'm a big fan of human-dominated parties, or at least parties that consist of mainly traditional fantasy races (elves, dwarves, halflings, gnomes, etc). I don't mind having tiefling or dragonborn in the mix (it's nice to have an exotic race in the party every now and then), but they've already announced another five [i]races[/i] in the next PHB. With a choice from 13 races with only the first additional book, how often do you think the group will contain traditional fantasy races in any great number? I think we're more likely to see groups that consist of a gnoll, a pixie, a treant, a ghoul, and a minotaur (or some equally fantastic and weird combination). I know the argument, "Only allow PHB races!", but I'm loath to be the sort of DM to constantly limit players options just because of the flavour of game I enjoy. I can even appreciate a monstrous game once in a while. It just frustrates me that the planned expansions involve more and more races even before the game is launched. [/QUOTE]
