What 3E Core Races have you used and LIKED?

[(Psi)SeveredHead]

Human, dwarf and halfling. (I don't think of halflings as kender.)

Gnomes only in Eberron.

Elves are close to cool but just too mechanically weak. The half-races are multiple kinds of lame, IMO.

 

[Brennin Magalus]

Human, elf, dwarf. I dislike gnomes and halflings, and I think half-humans are better represented through feat selection.

 

[Hejdun]

Call me one of the few that dislikes humans. They're just so bland and boring. Where's the flavor? I'm also one of the few that likes gnomes, it appears...

 

[Aeric]

I mostly play humans, elves, and half-elves. Dwarves are cool, but for some reason all of my dwarf characters tend to be fill-ins or short-term characters. That could be because I've never taken the time to actually flesh out any of my dwarves. They end up being one-dimensional cariactures instead of three-dimensional characters.

I'd love to play a half-orc sometime, but the mood has never struck at the same time as the opportunity.

I've played a halfling once or twice, but the combination of the movement rate and the reduced damage from Small-sized weapons turned me off to doing so.

I've never in my life played a gnome, or felt the urge to play a gnome. Can't stand 'em.

 

[Tonguez]

IMC I have Humans, Gnomes, Half-orcs, half-elfs, half-giants amd goblins

I dropped elfs and halflings because they're pointless and dwarfs simply cause they didn't fit the setting (and Ive never played one)

I've played and enjoyed gnomes and humans. I've played a half-elf but it may as well have been a human. I've also played a half-orc and enjoyed it but that had nothing to do with his species...

Gnomes rock!

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

In my Midwood campaign, there have been about six humans, two dwarves, a gnome and a kobold.

I ran a 2E halfling campaign that really got a lot of the fun sucked out of it once they were dehobbitized. (Not to mention the Five Shires were totally incompatible with the 3E PHB halfling fluff.)

I've played a few dwarves, a few humans and am currently playing a gnome illusionist/bard.

 

[caudor]

I've played them all, at one time or another, and liked them all. From what I've read of developers playtesting 4e, I'm pretty sure the half-elf will be staying (someone mentioned playing one).

Some of my most memorable characters include: a Half-Orc, Human, and a Gnome.

Sadly, I think the Gnome is one getting the axe for 4e. I have no insider knowledge...just snapping up clues here and there. Speculation at this point.

 

[Odhanan]

Human, dwarf, elf and halfling are okay in my book.

Even though... I really would like the elves to be more... tolkienesque. Yes, that's the word. You know: detached from the world, strange and terrible, immortal, noble beings which are really different from humans. Just a wish. I love Eberron's treatment of elves too.

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

I checked them all.

 

[Moon-Lancer]

I like the elf in concept, but I really don't like the -con.
