[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7857749, member: 6670153"] Shifters were mentioned heavily in 4e's FRCG in places like the Great Dale, Dambrath, and others, basically anywhere that Lycanthropes are common (or relatively common). Shifters were added to Nentir Vale and default D&D in 4e. Kalashar and Warforged got articles for placing them in the Forgotten Realms. Kalashtar with folks fused together by the Spellplague (so they are in need of an FR update), and Warforged were just unique creations. 3.5e D&D FR had a Changeling template that was very similar to earlier version of Eberron changelings, which were half human/half Doppelganger. Few D&D races have not appeared in FR. Take Darksun, Genasai, Muls (Half Dwarves), Thrikreens, Pterrans (FR ones aren't playable), Aarakocra, Dray (Dragonborn) Half-Giant (Goliath), all appear in one form or another in the Forgotten Realms. From Ravnica only one playable race does not appear in FR, Centaurs, Minotaurs, Goblins, Loxodons (called Loxo in FR where they have 2 trunks, but otherwise are the same as Loxodons), even the Viashino who didn't make to GMGtR, have an FR version of the race. The only major playable Planescape race Barbiars, don't appear in FR, yet. Spelljammer I'm not sure. Thanks to 5e FR stole Tortles from Mystara. FR has it's own catfolk, Tabaxi. FR has every playable race that Greyhawk has plus more. Dragonlance has some races that don't appear in FR, but oddly Kender aren't one of them as I think during a crossover novel series a village of Kender immigrated from Kyrnn to Toril. I'll double check that. Ravenloft I'll have to look into. FR ate Kara Tur aka Oriental Adventures, gaining it's races. Ravnica was highly planned, it's just that it was designed for MtG needs first and foremost, so without understanding how Ravnica was designed the way it is, or the whys, you might not get it. It's certainly NOT a rip off of Planescape, for one thing until the rescent War of the Spark very few folks knew there were other planes, mostly just Planewalkers knew. In fact for 10,000 years Planewalkers were blocked from the Plane/World. To get the whys of Ravnica, you have to understand the colours of mana in MtG, what they symbolize and what kind of relationships they have to each other. Their are a crap load of blogs on Ravnica from it's MtG designers. And the comparisons to Eberron are based mostly on magitech. And in my case the Radiant Idol. And no The Forgotten Realms is not generic, it would never have put competed Greyhawk, Nentir Vale, Dragonlance, ect..., if it was the just generic. You want Tolkiensic in D&D I suggest Birthright.
