Message: <blockquote data-quote="Whizbang Dustyboots" data-source="post: 2999125" data-attributes="member: 11760">All the PHB races are the primary races, with a few exceptions:* Elves aren't woodsy by default, rather, they're mariners called Shoal Elves.* There are two subraces of dwarves. The most common one is PHB-standard, while the ones from the other end of the empire don't have anti-orc/goblin/giant skills, but rather are technologists.There are also new minor races that Monte stresses are optional (they're all LA 1 or 2), including winged elves, Litorians and so on.A lot of the stuff from Ptolus was lifted for Arcana Evolved, mostly flavor. It was typically reverted back to D&D standard (like the faen) when Ptolus was written up for publication, but a file on the CD-ROM talks about AEizing the setting.Other than Litorians, no other AE races appear in the game except for a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference to Sibbecai, whom DMs are told to stat as gnolls instead of worrying about a full write-up. (Something I suspect many DMs will ignore in favor of hunting down the real stats, although their stats will be almost incidental, given where and how they show up.) The Charad Titans are also referenced, but except for a single example, they're looong gone from the setting.</blockquote>
