What is the most despised race?

[rounser]

Yeah. When I DM, the number of ex-gnomes shall know no limit.

Dead gnomes may be common enough, but undead gnomes seem to be quite rare, really. In fact, has anyone ever had their PC encounter one in a game?

 

[Sado]

Anything with the word "half" in its name.

Only because we wanted the little bugger to finally be useful. Half-interested player dropped out, was valiantly and honestly NPC'd until his painful death in an abandoned mine...one undead swag caddy/wagon guard in the making.

Or did you mean not one the PC's created to serve them?

Heheh...yeah, I mean, on the list of PC races to make your undead big bad or skeleton/zombie foot soldiers out of, "gnome" generally doesn't exactly leap to mind.

Not that I recall but I know a player who specializes in playing gnome liches. (And liches in general.)

I dislike any of the "rat" races as I call the small races. Don't know why, although Races of Stone made Gnomes interesting, and Dark Sun halflings are just awesome.

Kender are the Ewoks of D&D, Gully Dwarves are the Gungans. Kill them all.

Drow are the result of a racist and misogynistic moment in a developer's life. That, and they're overused, attract idiotic Largo-class fanboys, and just not very interesting.

*nods* Indeed. Thankfully, both of these are generally confined to Dragonlance.

Drow ... they're overused, attract idiotic Largo-class fanboys ...

Yeah, overused is an understatement. And the only Largo that comes to my mind is the one of Megatokyo fame, who you probably aren't talking about here, but I agree about the Drow fanboys.

Sun elves from FR, or anything roleplayed the same.
Drow that worship Lolth. Drow that worship Eilistraee. Drow that worship Mielikki.
Anything coming from Dragonlance and less than 6-ft.-tall must die a bloody, cruel, painful, and gruesome death. This includes any halfling that behaves in a Kenderish way, any gnome that tinkers with abandon, and any dwarf that is crude, stupid and dirty.
Anyone with the Forsaker prestige class.

I think I'll start a high-level githyanki campaign about an invasion of Dragonlance for reason of the wholesale slaughter of the kender and tinker gnomes.

Sadly, I might need new players for that 'cause my players are dirty, traitorous gnome and kender fans.

edit - Did I mention that they like drow too? My players' taste in races just sucks.

 

[Sejs]

Kender.


Pretty much anything else is redeemable.


But not Kender.
