Holy crap! Lots of Races

[Mystery Man]

I have nothing to do today so I'm putting together a database from all the FR books and WoTC core books, ie Races of... and the environement books etc. I haven't started on the Eberron books (as I don't have but one) or Stormwrack or Warcraft and Dragonlance and without counting the Sarrukh and yaun-ti...

I'm up to 114!! Playable races!

edit: And don't misunderstand me, I know about ECL for monsters and stuff, I'm talking about the "Races" sections of these books.

Hehe. A LOT. I'd say 10-15 maybe?

Out of that 114, there's probably too many Dwarf, Gnome, Halfling, and Elf subraces.

Edit: Someone beat me in answering. Is 11 a guess or did you count them?

THis is no suprise, the game is all about the options

Wow, thanks for that epiphany Crothian.

That's really amazing. I had no idea it was that many - I don't own all of those books, so of course I don't know about many of those.

Could you imagine a setting that used all of them?

Commentary...

a) is it just me or do female drow always end up being sorcerors instead of clerics?
b) None of this include the half elves. There's at least the half-elf and half-drow.
c) I've said it before, I'll say it again: elves can't go away for a two week family reunion without coming back as a subrace.
