Humans gotto go.
Humans have no place in a fantasy game.
What was WotC think when they decided to put Humans in the game.
Besides if you look at there race powers, they're all uber-munchkin.
Extra feat, any favored class, and extra skill points, for goodness sake!
Why didn't they just call them lil'gods. ;)
 

Personally, I find them unimaginative and it hampers the storyline. Raistlin is the only human who I have seen become a great character in epic fantasy. My party has a half-celestial(half-human), kender weretiger, dwarven werewolf, and elf. We all come up with much better character backgrounds then pure human characters ever have(Except for raistlin)

I loathe and despise all humans. I would be more than happy to see all humans die horrible deaths (excepting myself, of course) - so long as I could still somehow acquire food and the accoutrements of civilization. But enough about real life, this forum is about D&D.

I must admit that my campaign is very humanocentric. Elves do exist, off in a tiny corner of the continent, but their once-great empire fell centuries ago and the race has been on the decline ever since. Gnomes and halflings are around, but I don't believe the characters have ever encountered any. And they've only heard rumors about the dwarves, though that last may change soon.
 

I think about 90% of all PC's should be human. Humans are the most importnat part of a good campiagn. We are all humans, (I hope) These games are stories about ourselves. Other races may be reflections of parts of us, but humans, are us.
 


As a panjyamon, I am offended by that statement. Surveys show that 20% of internet users are extraterestrials.
But back on topic, isn't part of roleplaying to be something else. I would never want to be human, and other races make for better plots.
 

No.

All my players play the Monsters and I (DM) play the Characters and I NEVER play a human. That race doesn't exsist in my world. We also play on the ceiling when we get board.
 

This poll I like! :)

Yes, we play with humans. A very, verly large kid - i think he is 12 years old, 6'4 tall and weighs around 250 pounds - once said to his friend "there is no RPG without humans". I was nearby and heard that.

Humans are one of my favorite races. They are very versile and almost any character concept will fit a human. They are also very nice game wise.

Long live humans! :)
 

I hate the silly polls and would appreciate of the Trolls would stop making the stupid things.

However this poll actually could be sensible. I have seen games where there are no Humans...

Rare but they are there.
