[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 8468575, member: 6704184"] Interesting. [B]Changeling[/B]. I mean, what's not to love? Pick whatever aesthetic you want, make a very versatile character, go man go. [B]Shadar-kai.[/B] They're just so goth. And I've got a whole mythology for them in my games that is tragic and compelling and tied in with a bunch of themes and plotlines. I homebrewed a full race version for 5e that gets the teleport on a short rest, stealth proficiency, +5ft speed in dim light or darkness, and they roll a death saving throw any time they would normally fail automatically, such as taking damage while dying. [B]Vryloka. [/B]These are similar to dhampyr, but they aren't descended from vampires, or half turned, they are of a bloodline with a vampiric "gift". In my worlds I like to use them as the bigger buffer side of the same coin as the shadar-kai, using them as descended from the same race. I've homebrewed two subraces for my games. One can turn into a wolf, the other into mist. [B]Various Anthro People.[/B] Harengon, Tortles, Tabaxi, etc. IMO these have a more prominent place in the public consciousness than most DnD races, so it is odd that they get such a tertiary place in DnD. I think I've had more people ask if they could play some kind of animal person when introduced to DND than any PHB race. Especially frog people. I love little frog dudes. [B]Satyrs/Fauns. [/B]Loved these folks since Narnia. Athletic, musical, charming, fun. Awesome. Honorable mention to Warforged, Firbolgs, Bugbears, and Dryads. [/QUOTE]
