Race Help

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Well, sure.

Barring them, hags or goblins.

One cannot bar Kobolds. You need to go wash your mouth out for speaking...err, typing...thinking...whatever! But wash your mouth and/or brain out for that!

 

[Wormwood]

I have seen, or plan to use, good individuals from the following races:

NPCs:
Fire Giant
Duergar
Mind Flayer (a 'vegetarian', he only consumed the brains of animals)

PC's:
Yuan-Ti
Gnoll (Crawling Ghost, cleric/rogue. One of my favorite characters ever)

 

[Dracomeander]

What?!! You've never heard of the clan of noble, benevolent, self-sacrificing Illithids.

Rakshasas. That would be really surprising. It fits into the ogre magi paradigm: smart enough to make the alignment change possible, but also smart and deceptive enough to make players think it's a trick.

And somehow, the image of a rakshasa paladin appeals to me.

Demiurge out.

Backwards facings hands holding a holy falchion in what would normally be a down grip.

Yeah I can see how that would be rather cool.

Intelligent ogre sages

Ooh, and maybe Cloakers. Cloakers are alien enough as it is, but having them be really alien and at the same time not evil would be worthwhile, I think.

Definitely.

Or a Chuul.

That's a very good idea. I'll have to use an evil one and then a good one in my upcoming campaign (which also has a Paladin PC).

Minotaur, unless you've ever had a non-evil minotuar PC that is. Make him where he can't speak common but he absolutley refuses to fight even if attacked at least for a couple rounds.

 

[ThirdWizard]

To me, gnolls are the most evil of the humanoids . . . I'll had goblins hold people for ransom, but gnolls . . . yeah, better to fight to the death against them, 'cause you don't wanna know.

Ever wonder why there are no half-gnolls? Don't ask.

Tieflings come to mind, though people don't seem to be nearly surprised by a good tiefling as an evil aasimar.

Kobolds of course. What person who has played Neverwinter Nights could forget Deekin, the kobold bard.

What about Skum? Or Grimlocks?
