Rate the Races

I didn't vote because there wasn't a middle road to choose from.

I didn't vote because there wasn't a middle road to choose from.

with the way that I am compiling stats if you vote both love and hate a race that amounts to indifference which is middle of the road to love and hate.

I'd say that races such as elves, with about 15% each of hate and love are not indifferent, but polarizing. Indifferent would be a race, imho, that was least loved and hated.

I voted in favor of dwarves and humans -- dwarves just because they're cool and humans because they're probably the strongest base race simply due to that bonus feat. Hell, in my group's first 3e campaign, everyone played a human. The bonus is really usefel, and the extra skill point is good for classes that make use of skills but have almost no skill points (like cleric).

I voted against Half-elf and Half-Orc. For all practical purposes, a half-elf is just a human who doesn't have a bonus feat and an extra skill point per level. The half-orc is just +2 Str and Darkvision, making it the second blandest base race.

Maybe they'll actually make half-elves and half-orcs interesting the revision, but I wouldn't count on it.

poeple who play elves tend to annoy me more than the elf race itself.

Much like the way people that played vamprire annoyed me.

I like the 1/2lings the best - simply becasue they are somewhat underated. But I also like dwarves

I don't quite know what to make of underpants-gnomes.

I have not yet had a reason to make a 1/2 elf - why not be human?

1/2 orc have great flavor, and crappy abilities.

Dwarves are the most likely to survive.

Elves are the race I both love and hate the most.

As suggested new Stat format

Polorization = ABS(1- (%Love - %Hate))
Indifference = ABS(1- (%Love + %Hate))

Race - %Hate - %Love - Polorization - Indifference
Dwarves - 5% - 13% - 92% - 82%
Elves - 16% - 16% - 99% - 68%
Gnomes - 28% - 10% - 83% - 62%
Half-Elves - 19% - 5% - 86% - 76%
Half-Orcs - 18% - 6% - 89% - 76%
Halflings - 8% - 8% - 99% - 84%
Humans - 6% - 43% - 63% - 52%

(please ignore the obvios excel rounding errors)

I don't like dwarves. I think that the real-world-equivalent of a dwarf is a fifty year old biker with a beard who likes working on his motorcycle, drinking beer and listening to Fantasy Metal (like Menowar).

Yes. Which is exactly why dwarves are cool.
