[QUOTE="GoodKingJayIII, post: 3124075, member: 13804"] Lots of races feel goofy to me. It works in an interplanar/planetary setting because there's a lot more space. But I have a hard time seeing five or six different races grow up in a relatively confined area and not vying for dominance in one aspect or another. I'm probably more traditional in my fantasy tastes and I have a lot of problems with non-humanoid races. Having said that, I love sibeccai, litorians, and mojh but have always abhorred elves (stinkin' nancy boys!). I can't explain why; I've never been a huge anime fan and most furries strike me as silly. But these caught me as just right. Plus mojh are dragon-like and creepy. Half-giants never made sense to me. None of the giants I'm familiar with have demonstrated psionic potential. I do like the other races in the EPH though. Eberron races are great. Changelings are awesome and Warforged have a great "tabula rasa" background that has a lot of RP potential. Also, let me add that Eberron gave gnomes their balls back. I know absolutely nothing about the Races series. They have never interested me and likely never will. Someone else posted an ideal list of races for their campaign. I'd have to give it some serious thought, but right off the bat: Gnomes (PHB) Humans (PHB) Litorians (AU/AE) Sibeccai (AU/AE) Warforged (ECS) Not sure what else I'd include. Definitely would have racial levels, though. So, I've kinda contradicted what I said about myself as a traditional fantasy gamer and picked a bunch weird races to populate my campaign. :) [/QUOTE]
