Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aging Bard" data-source="post: 8328430" data-attributes="member: 7030944">I have a homebrew 1e campaign, so different list but fun exercise. I'd cheat slightly and have humans, gnomes, dwarf-gnomes, half-elves, half-orcs, and half-ogres.Dwarf-gnomes and half-elves are all that remains of the long lost dwarfish and elfish civilizations (in my actual campaign, humans, dwarves, and elves are the largest populations).Half-orcs and half-ogres are human terms and do not have their usual meaning. Rather, both of these are any potential mix with orcs or ogres that, for reasons that are not understood even to the sages, look much more like humans. Half-orcs still maintain slight porcine features (remember these are 1e orcs!) and half-ogres are much larger than normal humans, so neither are mistaken for human. It is a minor mystery of the campaign why this happens (or whether it happens for any other races).Finally, there are 3 new sylvan races: centaurs, selkind, and sylph-elves. Centaurs are, well, centaurs.Selkind (singular short-i, plural long-i) are like inverse selkies: they can maintain their demi-human form on land indefinitely, but transform into legged seals when they enter the water. They swim only 1/2 as fast as selkies.Sylph-elves are sylph crosses with various sylvans, including the long-lost elves. They can fly only 1/2 as fast as sylphs.</blockquote>
