Only one flexible Human (like in 4e)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">But Humans can crossbread with everyone somehow. No other race can (or maybe they can and just dont <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />) Its part of their adaptability. Half -X can only have children with human X or other half X. Also humans are seen as "bland" and half X are more X (human have weak genes) so other races dont care too much about crossbreads and accept them.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">DwarfesHere I love your idea with the giants you mentioned. So I woule make the dwarfs actually cursed giants. All dwarfs would get (similar to swirfneblin) the ability to turn big.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hill, fire etc. Giant subraces</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Eladrinas Fey Elves with teleport per encounter as their defining feature.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as Seasons, and maybe additional ones based on parts of the day (dawn, dusk, midnight, midday)</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Genasias elemental touched race mostly defined by subrace. They are connected with the element but not made out of it (even if powerfull genasi may look like that)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as in 4e including the "corrupted" ones but more flavoured as bright dark side (day/night) and no negative connotation. (I love the acid one)</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Tieflingslike in 4e to have a "strange" race. Horns, tail, different colour. Punishing feature for people attacking them. Also bonus to attacking bloodied enemies.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces for circle of hell/demons (so ice etc.) Which can change the pubishing feature and defensive feature (resistance or similar (adapted to thst hell))</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Dragonborn like in 4e as a strange race. Minor action dtrong fragon attack as main feature.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces are different elements which might give them small different 2ndary feature and maybe 2ndary stat</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shifter to have a 2nd "Human" Race. They look like humans regularily but can shift into their mixed animal form which grants them temporary bonuses (and maybe also in pure animal form)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">"Subraces" as different animals being less "Were" and more just mix. Cat, Wolf, Bear, maybe more. Animal is not heriditary its more like "your spirit animal"</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Orc as the "big" race being massive. Hard to kill and offensive.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as different tribes. Lets them learn different rituals (maybe some rituals are permanent tatoos and enhance their body slightly)</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Pixie as a tiny race like in 4e with flight as a feature and some pixie trickery<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as different flowers not sure what they do. One for sure should give the 4e let someone else fly fairy dust</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Halfling because some people like short races. I would make them not too short though and not childlike. (Dont want human crossbreading to be too gross).  Lucky race, and because of that brave.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as from where they are. They are big in having different customs.</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Elves, nature Loving, because we still have space. Not inherent magical just well adapted to nature and may know rituals etc. Good senses and perceptive, fast and elegant.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as different forms of trees. (Like which tree is holy where they come from).</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Aasimar, but a bit more like 4e deva (but aasimar name is better known). Also quite humanlike to have a 3rd human looking race.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Subraces as Different celestial objects. Void, star, moon, planet (but not the one they are on)</li> </ul></li> </ul></blockquote>
