[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 6964969, member: 6855204"] Wonderful! You know, I did think of that. I also thought of Deep Gnomes for Earth as well. I guess I really just wanted to have more uncommon races. You know, the fringe races that few people (that I've actually seen) will play. Though, you can make a case for Dwarves if you want to play a Dwarf that isn't one of the Qualifying classes, and I'll consider it. Actually, here's a decent thought that I don't think would break the game much. Genasi shouldn't just be human based. They should be based off of any race. So here's what I'm going to do. If you want to play a race other than the four listed (Aarakocra, Goliath, Teifling or Triton), then your character is a Genasi of that race. Human Genasi have the stats listed in the Elemental Player's Companion. For races that have subraces, instead of picking a normal subrace for that race, you pick one of the Genasi subraces. So, if you want a dwarf that is linked to the earth, then instead of being a 'hill dwarf' or 'mountain dwarf', it's an Earth Genasi Dwarf, so it gets the Strength increase, Earth Walk and Merge With Stone. If you want a Fire Genasi Dwarf, it gets Int increase, Darkvision, Fire resestance and Reach to the Blaze. This way, it opens up to more races. Dragonborn and Teifling cannot be Genasi, because they are already half something and don't have subraces to easily change out abilities. If you want to be half orc or half elf, we'll have to talk about what abilities they have, cause that's gonna be a little harder. [/QUOTE]
