[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 9014941, member: 22779"] A further point about half-elves. If removing the writeup from the PHB makes something very unpopular, why are genasi and other non-PHB races so commonly used? Yes, there won't be a specific half-elf in the PHB, but, it's not like people won't ever think of half-elves anymore. And, Eberron won't change since Eberron doesn't actually use the PHB write-up for its races anyway. Anyway, sorry for the half-elf threadjack. I don't want to relitagate that thread. But, I'm still rather of the opinion that the PHB should include the most popular races and make room for new races that might gain more traction than gnomes and halflings. Fifty years in the basement of the game is long enough to say that maybe we should try something new in the PHB. Particularly since the two new additions - tieflings and dragonborn - have proven that new races can be more (and potentially much more) popular than traditional offerings. [/QUOTE]
