[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 5773292, member: 18182"] I'm with those who wish to see the "classic" four races (human, elf, dwarf, halfling) and "classic" four classes (fighter, wizard, cleric, rogue) only in the intro book/box. I do think that almost every other race introduced at various points could make it into supplements, but important races would include most of what everyone else on the thread is pushing for . . . we can skip the raptorans, crystal guys (what were they called?), etc. Not sure if this is a good idea, but as I've never liked the term "halfling" (at least from the halfling's perspective, it makes a great condescending racial slur). I would rename the race "Hin", from the Forgotten Realms and Mystara settings. I wouldn't mind "Hobbit", but that's never going to happen! One of the cosmology changes I liked in 4E was the eladrin and elf split, I LOVE IT! I would put elves in the core book/box, and then introduce their cousins the eladrin (and drow) in an elfy supplement later that same year. However, I would like to see the two races differentiated more, but yet the eladrin need to keep the high/grey elf theme . . . not sure how to do that. [/QUOTE]
