Lizard Folk: Different types of Lizard Folk including those ancient powerful beings with near direct relations to the gods themselves.
Yeah, this would be nice. Include a 1 HD variant that would be more
PC-friendly, perhaps with no LA at all (e.g., only +1 or so natural
armor; give 'em a spread of racial abilities, like PH races have --
most MM races have few abilities compared to PH races).
(IMO, humanoids with racial HD often make poor PC races for anything
but fighters; the skill points from those HD mostly suck for other
classes, given that the other class won't get the extra x3 skill points
from first level. Racial HD + LA == extra ungood).
Or do a combined reptillian humanoids book -- include both lizardfolk
(& variants) Freeport's serpentfolk (& variants). Or do a book on just
the serpentfolk. Make it OGL, and replace the yuan-ti in d20 land . . .
Hobgoblins: Material fur using them as a player race, PrCs,
Gods, Feats, magic items, artifacts, general history, overview of
military tactics, various subspecies, sample adventures.
Maybe a book on goblinoids in general, or at least goblins and
hobgoblins. Perhaps a hobgoblin variant, with more racial abilities
than the MM hobgoblin has (the MM hobgoblin gets a LA for having a
couple of good ability adjustments and a sizable bonus to Move
Silently; but compared to elves, dwarves, halflings, etc., their racial
abilities are pretty damned slim, and the LA ends up overcompensating,
IMO. Maybe a hobgoblin with balanced attributes, more abilities, and
either no LA or enough Stuff to deserve that full +1 LA). I don't think
hobgoblins need full-blown subraces for every environment (a la elves & the like), though.
Ogres: Big dumb and stupid. The different ways ogres specialize
in combat, the various breeds of them out there, their gods, weapons,
PrCs, Feats. Smaller book, 48-64 pages.
This, I wouldn't be too interested in; of course, the right author
could make a difference. 48-64 pages is kind of small -- aren't smaller
books less profitable, in general?
Licensed AU Book on Giants: Their various military caste, the
importance of ritual, different PrCs focusing on different aspects of
their growth, rules for standard 3.5 ed, etc...
Some AU stuff would be nice; maybe include other AU races. Not sure how
AU supplements are doing, or whether Chris & co. would be interested in
it, though. Maybe (w/Monte's permission) include "regular" D&D variants
(IIRC, Monte has said that the AU races aren't quite equivalent to the
PH races; or am I misremembering?).
