[QUOTE="jsears2002, post: 5074712, member: 54412"] Oryan, you aren't kidding about the amount of races that exist in the D&D continuum. I definitely don't want to support 35 races myself - :). I think my reason for wanting to create new is twofold. First, there is the new experience that the realm can give when the surroundings and the cultures are completely different. (Personally I am now trying Mass Effect and am enjoying the new races and what they bring to the table.) While I could, with some work, change the culture of elves and dwarves in my world for what I need, the player preconceptions could present themselves in how the characters explore the world. Secondly, I was wanting some races that are fantasy, but wouldn't seem fantastic or unbelievable. This is also why I am looking for resources and advice. It's a thin line that I am trying to define. For example, the dragonkin race from 4e could be seen as believable (maybe a stretch), but I couldn't see them having a breath weapon - it seems to be too much for me, but I can't really put words to it yet.
