Message: <blockquote data-quote="ccs" data-source="post: 7907927" data-attributes="member: 6803664">I guess #6 is as close as this poll can get.Generally my games use:Humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, gnomes, .5elves, .5orcs, tieflings, dragonborn, goliaths, Genasi, & warforged.Sometimes there'll be limits on some of these - depending upon region or the story types we're aiming for.For ex, ●right now the games taking place in a region that the elves have withdrawn from.  So is no elven population to draw elf pcs from.  There are still 1/2 elves though.●Tieflings are not unheard of, but are definitely not a common site.  So 1 in the party max barring circumstance.  Warforged, Genasi, goliaths also fall into this catagory.●Dragonborn are rare, but the real reason they are discouraged is due to one players very strong dislike of them.  So its simply a real life trade off for a peacefull table.  It's just easier to discourage thier use than have to listen to him.●Drow, durgar, & other traditional "monster" races....  I dislike them.  I feel that somethings should remain as monsters.  And as I'm the DM, my opinion on this is the most equel among equels. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />That said....  If you REALLY REALLY must try & play one?  I won't say NO.  But I will strongly discourage you.  I will tell you upfront that your character WILL get treated as the xp yielding monster the NPCS believe you to be.  And then I will deliver on that.So if that arc sounds fun to you, go right ahead & sign up to play that drow etc.  If however you'd prefer to go on world saving adventures & such, TAKE THE  (not at all subtle) HINT & CHOOSE ONE OF THE MANY OTHER OPTIONS.  Trust me, we'll all have more fun.●Other things that aren't on the general list, aren't traditional monsters, but could seem like a reasonable choice?  Ask.  I'll probably say no, but I might say yes....</blockquote>
