Message: <blockquote data-quote="Voadam" data-source="post: 9569651" data-attributes="member: 2209">5e14 MM on humanoids:Humanoids are the main peoples of the D&D world, both civilized and savage, including humans and a tremendous variety of other species. They have language and culture, few if any innate magical abilities (though most humanoids can learn spellcasting), and a bipedal form. The most common humanoid races are the ones most suitable as player characters: humans, dwarves, elves, and halflings. Almost as numerous but far more savage and brutal, and almost uniformly evil, are the races of goblinoids (goblins, hobgoblins, and bugbears), ores, gnolls, lizardfolk, and kobolds.4e:Natural [Origin]: Natural creatures are native to the natural world—the world of humans, dwarves, elves, halflings, and dragons. Most natural creatures breathe, eat, and sleep. Natural creatures with the construct or undead keyword are exceptions.Humanoid [Type]: Humanoid monsters are usually bipedal, but some have monstrous or animalistic characteristics, such as the squidlike head of a mind flayer or the serpentine body of a yuan-ti abomination.3.5:Humanoid Type: A humanoid usually has two arms, two legs, and one head, or a human-like torso, arms, and a head. Humanoids have few or no supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but most can speak and usually have well-developed societies. They usually are Small or Medium. Every humanoid creature also has a subtype, such as elf, goblinoid, or reptilian.AD&D 2e (the closest I could find):Demihuman—a player character who is not human: a dwarf, elf, gnome, half-elf, or halfling.Nonhuman—any humanoid creature that is neither a human nor a demihuman.1e:Demi-humans — Refers to anthropomorphic, generally non-hostile (towards man) creatures that may be played as characters: elves, dwarves, halflings, etc.Humanoid — Refers to anthropomorphic, generally hostile creatures: orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, etc.</blockquote>
