I usually play humans unless the setting offers an interesting option for something else that won't work with human (in Arcanis, for instance, I'm playing a Val) or the stat-mods and special benefits offer a unique challenge or option. (As an example of the latter, I'm playing a multiclassed halfling paladin, and a wood elf ranger in Greyhawk--the first falls under interesting mechanical challenge and the second mechanical advantage). If I play a non-human, in general, the non-human element is disguised by a different aspect of the character (for instance, an alienist is crazy whether he's a human, a dwarf or an elf) or is limited by the playing to type/"look at me, I'm DIFFERENT" dichotomy.In 2.0, of course, I usually played elves and half-elves because the mechanical advantage was big enough that it was worth it and I was less concerned about character. (I used bladesinger and elven warmage kits (with the bladesong fighting style of course) too. I should be ashamed).</blockquote>
