[QUOTE="ccs, post: 8025040, member: 6803664"] common PC races: [B]Halflings, Goliaths & Humans[/B] come in all the complexions, hair & eye colors we humans exhibit here in RL. Often specific regions will have a dominant complexions/hair/eyes. [B]Dwarves[/B] are generally earth tones, though many surface dwarves might more closely resemble some shade of Caucasian. Hair & eyes are usually dark. Sometimes red hair. Hair turns shades of grey/white. I don't think I've ever described a blonde dwarf before. Duragar are the typical description in the MM. [B]Elves[/B] are almost universally pale - a Caucasian/whitish/super light grey (think GW Witch elves) - though it's not uncommon for them to have a slight hint of green, blue, etc based upon where they live. There is one group of elves known as "White Elves" - who're well, white. White skin, white hair, but dark eyes. Otherwise hair & eyes vary - mostly whatever you think would look good on an elf if you were painting the mini.... And then there's the Drow. 1st, let me say that there are no Drow PCs - I actively discourage you from wasting time making Drow in my games. But for the record, all Drow are the classic unnatural photo-negative obsidian skinned Drow of previous editions. They have silvery white hair & eyes of red or shades of purple/lavender. Drow do not come in any shades of grey, purple, browns, etc. They don't even come in Albino. [B]Forest/Rock Gnomes[/B] - I borrowed the PF gnomes who're prone to being a wild assortment of colors long ago. Gnomes who're cut off from magic too long, or who're depressed, tend to bleach out to a dull grey. Deep Gnomes - see MM. [B]1/2elves[/B] - favor their human parent more often than not. [B]1/2orcs[/B] - almost universally favor their Orc parent. Orcs are generally some shade of green with course black hair & dark/red eyes. [B]Tieflings[/B] - Npc teiflings are commonly a reddish hue, often with dark hair/eyes. But in truth they could range considerably I guess. In our Thur. game we have a winged teifling who's purple. [B] Dragonborn[/B] - the color of various dragons. [I]Most[/I] have a breath weapon that also corosponds with their draconic color. [/QUOTE]
