Its unfortunate that D&D 3e makes Humans unquestionably the most powerful 0 LA race by giving them an extra feat. I almost always want that extra feat and end up being a human, even when other things might be nicer or more interesting. Maybe with the basic SRD Humans are balanced, but with 44,000 powerful feats in existence now, I really feel Humans are way overbuff compared.
I don't think I have a favorite race (through there are a heck of a lot on the list that I have never tried). I enjoy playing characters, each one different. The race is just part of that character.
since 3.x
2 elves, 2 humans, minotaur, halfling
I will leave out the githzari and gnome sitting unplayed on PbP boards.
I chose high elf, to balance the poll. As a DM ?
evil psionic halfling. 1 per campaign minimum.
