[QUOTE="DarkWhite, post: 3879450, member: 9027"] guess #1 = Goblin, based on what others have already mentioned from playtest posts guess #2 = Shadar-kai, based on Desert of Desolation minis. We know that all monsters (except one) from Desert of Desolation will be appearing in the 4th Edition MM, so you would think they'd provide similar player character support in this set. - Dwarves (3); Elves yes; Halflings (2); Humans yes; Tieflings (2). - Gnomes none; Half-orcs none; Orcs (gasp!) none; Goblins none; Minotaurs none; etc. So what other humanoid character possibilities could be found in Desert of Desolation? - Drow (2) or Shadar-kai (1) seem the most likely candidates. I don't know much about the Shadar-kai, but they look like a race from maybe the Astral plane? This might make sense, in a similar way that Eladrins are tied to the Feywild, and Tieflings are a fiendish race, kind of to showcase their revised cosmology, featuring a few representative races from other planes. I don't know that they'll go with Drow, though. Drow seem deserving of their own supplement, rather than being lumped in with all the "common" races. [/QUOTE]
