[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 2302700, member: 3867"] [U]More Cool:[/U] Agree with kobolds and dragons on this one. Kobolds have personality now and dragons are truly fearsome. [U]Less Cool:[/U] Displacer beasts. The 3e picture of it is abysmal. Poor thing is starving to death. I prefer the more panther-like version in the 2e Monstrous Manual. Drow. This is a race that has had so much overexposure it isn't funny. They are to D&D what Wolverine is to the X-Men. Eberron has been good to the drow and I like the scorpion association. Still, that doesn't erase what has come before. Halflings. They will always have hairy feet in my book. Now they're quirky miniature humans that have ripped off elements of every other halfling-style race out there. I want the Tolkien ripoffs back. [/QUOTE]
