Favorite PHB Race!

[Jacob Marley]

A few days ago Jimlock posted a poll asking for your favorite Player's Handbook class. As that thread has been a success I thought it was time to ask what is your favorite PHB race?

Edit: This is meant to be for 3.0/3.5.

Halfling :3

Come on... Is there any answer but half-orc?

If you think so, try telling HIM that...

And as with Jimlock's poll, I sigh about how the options are limited to PHB core.

And so, I choose Humans. Can't beat the Feat!

Yeah, but with all the various races (including subraces) the poll itself would be unwieldy. Feel free to post your alternates.

No vote here- I like 'em all about the same.

Great idea!...I love voting!!!

well...my avatar speaks for itself...

Elves all the way!
I understand how they are touchy...but what can i do!?
i love the design!!!!!
The sketch on page 16 of the PHB is my favorite of all 3.x artwork, for it clarifies effectively the differences with humans...

Design apart...

Dex is my favorite ability (that could make an interesting poll for the future...) so... that +2 does the job for me.
Weapon proficiencies can come in very handy to a non martial class...and the +2 vs enchantments is pretty valuable as well...

Also... the 4 hour sleep can be a great help for the party's night watch!!

Humans/half elves go second... and dwarves are a close third...

For 3.x, my favorite is Dwarf. They're sturdy and survivable in the low levels, start with Darkvision, and actually make pretty good Rogues IMO.

For Pathfinder, Half-Orc. I don't know what they were smoking when they 'rebalanced' the races, but Half-orcs now make the best mages.

Oh, I know. I understand the constraints of the system, just I itch against such limitations.

Changelings or Warforged for me please.

Voted Human.

Two reasons;

1. I like the extra flexibility that is intrinsic to the race.

2. I can relate to a human character much more easily than to other things. I feel like I could never really roleplay an elf to my own satisfaction.
