So if you voted for Tiefling, why? What is compelling about them to you?

1. They have that dark and edgy angle.
2. They have some neat history.
3. An element of history/background/hook, from birth.
4. Pre 4e, some flexibility in terms of appearance.

By far my most frequent pick over the years were elves.

And I have a soft spot for halflings, or hobbits as we prefer calling them at my table (IP be damned). It’s just so cool to ponder about the fact that a cross between any creature and a halfling always results in a 100% halfling offspring. That’s the consequence of carrying only dominant genes. "Grandpa was a bronze dragon on my mom’s side, grandma was a pit fiend on my dad’s side", said the purebred hobbit.

Besides these two, I would have picked troll, but I don’t see them in the list. I played only one, but all the way into epic levels, and it was a memorable campaign.
