D&D General The Tyranny of Rarity

Find me stats.

I refer you to the DMG Chapter 9: Dungeon Master's Workshop > Creating a Race or Subrace. Sky's the limit!

Find me stats.

To me it seems silly to shackle world builders to what WoTC deems to release. What has rules constantly keeps changing, WotC releases new stuff and on the other hand some things might not get rules in a new edition. A lot of people use the same setting for a long time.

You are the DM. ACT LIKE IT. If you want to do restrictions that is great. But be prepared not to have higher player population base. And much whining. I am sick and tired of the idea of if the DM does not allow the Kitchen Sink, then they are an icky nasty DM.

And I the same. Strange that I am one of the most restrictive DM in my area and that I have a waiting list of 70+ persons waiting for a spot in my groups to free itself... That is why I do Friday Night Dungeons at our hobby stores. It enables them to ask questions and I can coach novice DM. Strangely, they emulate my playstyle which is restrictions to PHB races and subclasses.

And again, I do not hate the kitchen sink per say. I like it, but in small doses and usually for a one shot short campaign. When everything is different, nothing is.

That settles it! In my next games, I want to play a Klingon, a Twi'lek, and a Smurf. And you can't say no. Who's with me?

Strong and Big Race
Charismatic Race
Small Intelligent race

Good mix. Better that Dwarf, Elf, Halfling to me.

Half-orc, tiefling and gnome?

How cliche.

Only because it isn't what we've had for decades already...

If it was, people would be complaining about Klingons, Twi'leks, and Smurfs now; and Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling would be the "good mix."

I'm pretty sure including "Halfling" on the list would lead to a 100 page thread on why some disagree.

No.
Klingons, Twi'leks, and Smurfs is better than Dwarf, Elf, and Halfling because Elf and Halfling are redundant as Dex/Agi races and Dwarf is a Con/Tough race and in D&D toughess is purely reactive and can't be leveraged for action.

Klingons, Twi'leks, and Smurfs have better active racial traits that are better leverages as adventurers and don't have overlapping aspects.

Now I want Gargamel's stats too.

Agi? Thanks to urban dictionary I have some definitions, but I really doubt you're talking about he fondness they may have for gerbils.
