Needs more racial books.

[DreadArchon]

The "Complete Riding Dog" thread reminded me of the WotC thread about racial books, so I went and looked it up again.

Some impressive layout suggestions are given in the thread, found here if anyone cares.

Anyway, what kinds of racial books would people here be interested in?

I'd go for Fey, Vermin, and Golems (as presented in the link) myself. What about all of you?

 

[Nyaricus]

Giants. Man we need some giant lovin'.

 

[Shemeska]

Giants
Yugoloths & Demodands (linked origin, so same book)
Fey
Eladrin (never going to happen, but I can dream)
Slaadi (never going to happen, but I can dream)

 

[GAAAHHH]

Fey, definitely.

 

[Hussar]

I could go for a Giant Races book. Lots of culture and history there. Could go all the way from half-giants on up (assuming they could make a half-giant 0 LA race).

Fey, meh, never really saw the attraction. Most of the fey critters are boring IMO.

I think a book of constructs would be great as well.

I'd like to see the eladrin in a fey book, actually. Go ahead and make them different points on the same continuum, instead of some sort of parallel evolution.

Anyway, like everyone else, I want fey and giants and I'd take a book on the goblinoid races.

fey! slaadi as well, would be cool. in fact, i think i'd rather see a slaadi book than FC3! (don't tell Shemmy i said that)

I'd love to see racial books on Giants, Fey, Celestials, and Slaadi!

Dread Archon, did you mean Races of X type books, or Lords of Madness/Libris Morte type books?

Races of X:
Orcs and goblinoids definitely. I'd really want that book to be Eberron focused, since goblinoids actually have, you know, CULTURE in Eberron. Call it Races of Savagery maybe? Toss in gnolls and maybe ogres and trolls for fun too.

Races of the Waves - Sahaguin, merfolk, sea elves, locathah and tritons. I'm not sure how much treatment they get in stormwrack, but I think it would be cool.

Races of the Serpent - Yuan-ti, lizardfolk (multiple kinds, MM3), troglodytes

For a Monster Type book, I'd like to see Fey, even if I didn't like it. Fey in D&D have long been utterly lame, so it'd be nice to have them be worth putting in a game for once.

Elementals have a serious problem with lameness as well, so I'd like to see variants. You know, earth elementals with tremorsense or something so they can see where they are going...

Plants, animals and vermin could be interesting, but I imagine it would really just be a lot of templates.

A githyanki/githzerai book would be cool too.

Goodman and Bastion published good books on fey, so I wouldn't see any point in buying another.

For creature books, a combination of plants, vermin, animals and oozes.

For races, some new ones based on plants, vermin and magical beasts.
