I don't mind the major subdivisions like Duergar, Drow and Eladrin, but Gold Dwarves, Ghostwise Halflings or Wild Elves are too much.
Speaking of which, what would you all think of the Avariel returning? Should it ever be possible? I always liked them.
I wouldn't mind (nobody in my group has any interest in flying elves), provided WotC comes up with some wings for Dragonborn FIRST!Speaking of which, what would you all think of the Avariel returning? Should it ever be possible? I always liked them.
Simple question: do you use subraces?
Nyet.
I voted for the second option. However, using such subraces are rare and they have to have a good reason to exist. (If you want to be technical, you could consider githzerai and githyanki to be subraces, grimlocks to be a human subrace, etc.)
I just try to keep them to a minimum. Any named subrace (eg wild/wood vs high elf) would be cultural only in my campaign.
I don't use subraces in the sense of wood elves or high elves, but then again I don't really consider drow, for instance, to be a subrace. They're a separate race descended from elves. In Fourth Edition, the same is true of eladrin; even though you can reasonably say that eladrin have taken over the old "high elf" niche, practically speaking I accept them as a separate elf-like race, not an elven subrace.
