[QUOTE="mhacdebhandia, post: 3737726, member: 18832"] The last time I kicked around some ideas for a setting, I used these races: [list][*]Humans [*]Changelings ([I]Eberron Campaign Setting[/I]) [*]Shifters ([I]Eberron Campaign Setting[/I]) [*]Poison dusk lizardfolk ([I]Monster Manual III[/I]) [*]Dromites ([I]Expanded Psionics Handbook[/I])[/list] I suppose I would say that my personal tastes run to near-human or properly nonhuman creatures; I don't have that much interest in the "demi-human" range where elves, orcs, dwarves, and the like live. However, my previous post included those races based on the premise that I was deciding what would go in the first Fourth Edition [I]Player's Handbook[/I], which should cater to as many people as possible without giving up [I]D&D[/I]'s unique attributes. I wouldn't like to see [I]Dungeons & Dragons[/I] become a game that catered only to my tastes in fantasy - I'd just like to see it cater to my tastes more than it does. The inclusion of tieflings as a default PC race in the next edition is a welcome step in that direction, but I wouldn't want to cut the Tolkienoid races out just because *I* hate that crap. Besides, if they weren't in there, I wouldn't be able to be as impressed with Eberron's completely reinventing them as I have been. ;) [/QUOTE]
