[QUOTE="Mercurius, post: 6253988, member: 59082"] Basically what I mean is this: Nearly all campaigns have a low-level, common enemy that at first is mean and scary, eventually becomes fodder. Now what you do with them, is secondary (that is, whether you level them up along with the PCs ala 4E, or take a more traditional approach). I'm mainly curious about which low-level/fodder monster race is your favorite, and why. I'm only going to include those monsters that are usable at 1st level and in largish quantities. No drow, in other words. As I see it, there are three "main" ones--orcs, kobolds, and goblins--and a bunch of secondary ones, including duergar, hobgoblins, lizardfolk, and gnolls. Others could qualify, and I'm sure someone will say, "but what about...?!" but these are the ones that I think fit the criteria best, so deal with it. One thing I will do is differentiate "old school" porcine orcs from "new school" ones, ala Tolkien. So vote away! p.s. You can vote for two races. [/QUOTE]
