What is your favorite new race?

What is your favorite new (official) race? Why?

 

[Mercule]

I like Whisper Gnomes (Races of Stone). I don't why, exactly. They just seem to be interesting, unique, and make sense for a small race.

 

[GuardianLurker]

None of the above. None have made it, or are likely to make it, into my existing homebrew.

 

[Blackthorne]

I think there´s great role-playing potential in both the Warforged and the Goliath. Illumians and Elan are pretty cool, too. Some other, like Raptorans, are pretty "meh" to me.

 

[Crothian]

Other as in none. I've not seen a new race that was not just a new set of numbers.

 

[Alhazred]

Other as in none. I've not seen a new race that was not just a new set of numbers.

I agree, which is why I also voted 'other'.

 

[DungeonmasterCal]

Mine are the three variant humans I'm working on for a campaign I'll never get to run.

As far as "published" races go, I have to vote for Whisper Gnomes. They're gonna replace standard gnomes in my current game. I also like Shifters.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

Love Changelings. They also fit a perfect niche in my homebrew, so less work in having to develop my own similar race.

I like both Dromites and Illumians, but I'll say illumians because (contrary to Herr Gath) they have a good deal of background and their enclaves make for a potentially interesting element in the game that can be used in a variety of ways.

A lot of the races have good backgrounds but just not different enough and good enough for me. It's not like I'm a big fan of the core races either, I think races are the weakest part of the game.
