What races do you allow in your Eberron campaign?

[Glyfair]

When I set up the campaign rules I specifically allowed the PHB races and the races from the ECS. One player asked to run a goblin thief, and I allowed it. So far, he's not too bad.

In the game I'm playing in, we don't have anything really unusual. However, we don't have any humans. I'm playing a halfing wizard and we have a dwarf cleric, half-elf ranger, changeling rogue, warforged fighter and a shifter fighter.

Sounds like my group - We noted last night that It has a token human in it, but the makeup is: Changeling Artificer, Shifter Ranger, Warforged Fighter, Kalashtar Cleric, Human Psion/Rogue, Halfling Rogue, and Half-elf Monk. Someone coming after that party would need a half-dozen bane weapons.

So what's that Kalashtar Cleric doing with those racial Power Points?

 

[Mark Causey]

Other than the standard races, I include dromites (after I've recast them as just below ground residents of Khorvaire) and half-giants (half elf and half giant race bred to serve the giants and watch over the elves, becoming a boat people and sailors like the half-elves). Recently, I included a blue as an NPC. Nothing else, so far!

He also has a single level of wilder, but mainly never uses them. Ever since they've found a pearl of power, however, he's acting as a daily extra battery for the other psionic character. He keeps just enough to power his psionic feats, and he's happy with them.

Perfect. I was going to recommend that. It's got to make him a more effective fighter...

In teaching our normal DM 3.5 in a move from 2E, once she learned there were rules for playing monsters, she wanted to do it. So in our Sharn game there is a Githyanki, Drow, Pixie, human, and half-feind. Essentially we allowed anything with a total of 6 levels to start with. Within the city, few people even notice us, because its presented as very cosmopolitan. Once we leave the city and hit some of the smaller towns and villages, people just stand and stare (or get up and calmly leave).

 

[Remathilis]

I'd allow all the PH, the Eberron Races, Goblinoids (if requested) and warforged Scout and Poisondusk Lizardfolk (both in MM3).

 

[Pants]

The Core ECS races and goblins.

I might be persuaded to allow EXH races... maybe.

 

[VorpalBunny]

The Core D&D and ECS races only. I may be coerced into a LA +0/+1 race, but with a good reason (in Eberron that usually means goblinoids).
