What types of races are you tired of seeing?

[JustKim]

If anything we need more half-races, I don't even have a half-medusa yet!

 

[LazerPointer]

I'm looking for a half-dwarf/half-gnome race. can I find it anywhere?

 

[Crothian]

Nearly all of 'em. I think we need very few races.

well, if anyof the races were actually interesting and well thought out this my be different. So, I'll also go we need less of these races that are little more then stats and a picture.

 

[Sejs]

Elven subraces.

Psionic variants.

Underdark variants. Oh it's a human, but it's an UNDERDARK human! No. Go away.

Midnight has those. In midnight, humans cannot interbreed with fairy races, so no half-elves. We have dwarf/gnomes, elf/halflings, and even orc/dwarves (and those races really hate each other, so those half-breeds really hate their orc parents for doing this).

 

[Kae'Yoss]

I'm not tired of any race really. The only thing I'm tired of is the fact that in most if not all campaigns have humans as the dominating race, the other races being the ones with the longest history and all but in decline.

I have no angist against the different races (even the ump-teen variations of elves...). I think of them the same way as cultural groups within humanity, except making them a different race makes for sense mechanically (due to the different abilities etc.)

Minions by Bastion has a lot of cool humaniod/monstrous humanoid races that have been thought through and have as much depth and complexity as you would like to have.

In the end, new races all boil down to "humans with a twist" or "humans with animal like traits" or "humans with pointy ears and an elegantly zen view of reality," but the way they fit into their environment (setting) and your game is what brings value to the table. YMMV.

One way to cut down on the race varients is to make the varients templates. Then all "aquatic" or "wild" or "stone" etc. races have the same traits. But many people are not fond of templates either.

 

[Wraith Form]

I'm sick of all the races except humans, quite frankly. I'm even tired of goblinoids.


I was "raised" on Conan (by Robert E Howard, the original, not the pastiche-writers), so I have a preference for more "real" heroes and villians (real as in human).

So there! Call me Mr. Grumpypants!

 

[Darkness]

Gnomes.

PHB race subraces.

Giants (as in, storm giant or mountain giant - not the Type 'Giant').


I'm willing to take well-done and interesting ones but it takes a lot for such races to impress me.

OK with the new Arcana Evolved coming out I was wondering what race types are you tired of seeing. I mean this book has as dragon/lizard-man race, a cat-man race, a dog-man race and ect. Now everyone wants to create their own races, but which ones are you tired of seeing all the time? For me, cat races. NO MORE PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

Anything but humans really

I won't fault anyone who likes the the big 6 or the new zoo review but I really don't need them IMC
