Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yaarel" data-source="post: 8445558" data-attributes="member: 58172">Many races I like and play, but have mixed feelings about some of its official uses.I love the psionic vibe of the kalashtar but am less enthusiastic about the character being possessed by an alien spirit. Maybe there was a clearer way to play each person separately, I would be more into it.I love the statuesque ideal of the Awsimar, but hate the gods that often plague their concept.The dwarf isnt magical enough, or tall enough, from my cultural perspective.Yuan-ti is cool. Are they no longer Evil?Hmmm. I like warforged. Good concept and appropriate mechanics. Not sure why I dont think of them more often. Living golems, artificial life. It works well.The many species of anthropomorphic animals are not my thing. However, I love the werewolf, and would prefer the shifter to be able to become an actual wolf (even if using the normal character stats) as an alternate form.Hobgoblin has potential, but needs to be Fey and with a sense of humor.Goliath has potential, but I would probably want more animistic magic and less bland brute.Dragonborn needs a serpentine tail to feel draconic, but otherwise is solid.Not into darker edgier devils and demons.Undead species are genuinely creepy and unwhole.Fairy is ok, but I worry about full-on flight being too powerful. While I totally agree with the Small size (= human children) because Shakespeare, I might like the fairy better if it could also become Medium (adult height) or Tiny at will.Anyway, I want more and better tools to customize a playable species concept. Tashas custom lineage feels like a hesitant start.</blockquote>
