The REAL Race Elimination ROUND 3!!!

[Jhaelen]

4e Tieflings look ridiculous (why oh why didn't they keep the 3e image?), so it's them that have to go!

I'm with you on Tieflings, as well as Eladrin (haughty elves) and Elves (emo elves) but I'm wanting the monster races gone first.

I'm with whoever said up thread that Changelings have to go as the most likely to break your campaign with at-will shape change.

I have to 2nd that. I played in a game where the dorkiest of all the players turned out to play a changeling, on top of all the dorkiness. It annoyed the hell out of everybody.

It's just a +5 to bluff to disguise yourself. Nothing more. It's hardly game-breaking if you remember to make spot checks to pierce the disguise.

Those razorclaws have to go. Cats are evil and pompous, and razorclaws are no different. Plus, the shifters have no additional features besides their powers that make them interesting. They're very flat in my opinion, for a PC race.

Why are monster races even up here, though? They're cool, but are mechanical flops for any PC race without serious house ruling. The lack of feats is especially bothersome, as it not only leaves you with fewer options (unless you houserule that you can take a certain other race's feats), but also is not fun. I say vote off all the monsters. But first the razorclaws. Foolish felines.

Changelings are my favorite! They're nothing mechanically wrong with them since the EPG, and the new design looks incredibly cool and unique! I would love to play a changeling wild sorcerer, my favorite race and class. So don't hate on the changelings!

I really think that all shifter haters here should consider that...

Shifters who feel alienated from the plains and forests they love sometimes take up the adventuring life as a way of escaping the confines of city walls and returning to nature. Some shifters, though, turn to a life of crime, preying on the residents of their new homes like the hunters they are.

Residents of these forums beware... Thundercats are go!

Or something.

Lets just get rid of the gnomes first (they just wont go away), we can get round to the manga races next (gith, etc) - at least the dragonborn and warforged are corpses.

 

[Mengu]

Don't we need a new one of these?

Looks like we're getting rid of

Minotaurs (20)
Githyanki (19)
Deva (17)
Changeling (14)
Goliath (12)

Razorclaw Shifter (11) and Gnoll (11) are tied for 6th place, but I'd say they can both be kicked out.

There must be a silent group of Deva haters out there, I haven't heard much about why people don't like them, but they got a lot of votes. I can sort of understand everything else, but Goliaths I thought were a good replacement for the Half-ogre. Having said that, they probably wouldn't make my top 5 race list, so it's no big loss (maybe top 10).

 

[keterys]

Yeah, totally starting to lose what I'd consider 'good' races while the previous eliminations included a lot of 'good riddance'
