D&D 5E (2014) Player's Handbook Races

[Lalato]

I like this list. Lots of options... and since PHB is technically optional... any table can decide to remove anything they object to.

Also, too, more leaks, [MENTION=1]Morrus[/MENTION]! We demand more leaks! How am I supposed to get through my work day without leaks? I'm (figuratively) dying over here.

Thanks for the spoiler! Where is that from?

I don't get why someone would be mad at the inclusion of something so easy to disallow in your game of you want. I can see people being mad something was not.

 

[Obryn]

Dragonborn and Tiefling in the PHB.

That's gonna make some people mad.

They can get over it. I'm really tired of "[thing I don't like] is in the PHB! What an outrage!"

 

[am181d]

They aren't my favorite (And why isn't Aasimar a base race if Tiefling is one?), but it's just fine since they didn't exclude former base races to include them.

I understand that Aasimar are "the opposite of Tieflings" but that's not a reason to include them in the PHB. Consider that Tieflings were in 4e, were popular as far back as 2e (albeit in a different form) and that WotC has lots of survey data indicating which races folks are interested in playing. Seems like an easy decision to make to me.

(And I say this as someone who's got close to zero interest in playing a Tiefling. Where are my Changelings and Shifters is what I want to know!)

 

[Shemeska]

What's going to be interesting to see is how they define tieflings, and if it favors the classic 2e/3e version or the rather different 4e version.

Yeah, it ain't The Big Book Of Enforced Exact Symmetry!

From the original D&D twitter account

 

[TwoSix]

Yeah, it ain't The Big Book Of Enforced Exact Symmetry!

Otherwise known as the Manual of the Planes?

 

[Charles Wright]

Yeah, it ain't The Big Book Of Enforced Exact Symmetry!

Why I'll force YOUR symmetry! *fishes out his Stick of Forceful Symmetry*

It't not just the symmetry for me. I would really like for them to be there! (Or any other Planetouched. I don't think something has to be evil to be cool, dagnabbit!)
