Yuan-Ti Pureblood is an unexpected bonus. I always had an idea for a Pureblood who belonged to a cult that backed a non-evil serpent types, like the Couatl Yuan-Ti from Eberron, or other ideas like Lillendi cultists, or servants of certain Arch-Nagas like Vasuki from Hindu mythology or Mucalinda from Buddhist mythology.Volo Races have been leaked.
I see kobolds, I am happy. Yuan-ti Pureblood? Huh, they haven't done that since Serpent Kingdoms back in 3.5, but they always were the most human of the Yuan-ti... I wonder if I can get away with visually reskinning them as Lovecraft-style Serpentfolk in other games...
All the goblinoids and the Orc, as we expected. Goliaths... eh, I didn't need 'em, I had the EE Player's Guide. Kenku...? Blah. Not a huge fan of Tritons, but I guess they're more interesting than Kenku at least.
Aasimars will at least show us what a "proper" counterpart to the Tiefling can look like now.
All in all... I have to complain about some of the slots. I would have rather gotten Saurials then Kenku, personally. Ah well, I wonder what's in the "quick and dirty" race guide...
To put it plain and simple? They bore me. I'm not a fan of bird-folk in general, but the Kenku, with their "we're a race of cursed crows who take out our rage of being stripped of flight by stealing from everyone" fluff, are just... really, really bland.What is your issue with Kenku.
