[QUOTE="Argyle King, post: 5740192, member: 58416"] Honestly, I'd be 100% fine with a gnome-less D&D. While I like how gnomes are presented in a lot of other games, I do not think they're are portrayed consistently or consistently well in D&D. (Though, that being said, I honestly feel that the 4E version is probably my favorite as it pertains to D&D.) I thought Dragonborn were cool. However, I would have liked to see a more creative way of portraying sexual dimorphism. I like how The Elder Scrolls series portrays the male and female versions of their lizard folk; horns, frills, and things of that nature (I feel) are more interesting and more creative than "dragon-boobs." I'm not a fan of 4E Tieflings at all. I'm really not even sure why; they just didn't appeal to me. I think it might be that they seemed too similar to the other (by now cliche) bad-turned-good races such as D&D Drow. Too many races were fighting for that niche in 4E. It didn't help that they had a somewhat poor racial encounter power out of the gate. ...oddly, I found Divas to be interesting; I say "oddly" because in 3rd Edition I found Tieflings cool and Aasimars lame. I'd like to see Tieflings replaced by something else as a core race. Since I'm arguing for a a gnome-less 5E, I'll suggest Grippli as a core race to fill the Tiefling spot as well as fill the little folk quota. Alternatively; while I don't currently find them interesting, I think more could be done to make Shifters worthy of being a core race. Perhaps embrace their Lycanthropy fluff more and allow them to more fully shift. Base them around some Native American mythology. [/QUOTE]
