Which MM race would you like to see an "Playing a...' article in Dragon next?

[Glyfair]

Looking at the list of monsters in the NPC racial traits section of the Monster Manual, I see that we have seen quite a few. With the series of Dragon articles changing and expanding upon these races for PCs, I wondered which race would most like to see next. Sounded like a poll to me.

We had the Drow in the Forgotten Realms book, Gnoll, Minotaur, Shadar-Kai & Warforged in Dragon, the Gnome and Shifter will be in PHB2. Warforged will also be in the Eberron book (and likely the Changeling/Doppleganger, but I left it in as it is unconfirmed). That's quite a few already gone. That only leaves 8 races.

So, which of the remaining races would you most like to see done in an upcoming Dragon article?

 

[Fallen Seraph]

Without a doubt I would love to see Doppelganger have a "Playing a" article done for them. There is tons of neat avenues to take them, and their just a really fun race to be.

So that is my vote. Even if their in Eberron as Changelings, since well Dragon article has lots more info then normal PHB/Campaign treatments.

I love the Githyanki and Githzerai and would love to see an article on either. At some point I'd like to build a githyanki swordmage and a githzerai monk.

 

[FireLance]

Githyanki and githzerai for me, too. Although it seems most likely to me that they will be in PH3 or whichever PH contains the psionic classes.

I was kind of up in the air between kobolds or dopplegangers, but as they make a lot of sense to be in the Eberron book, I chose the race that might not otherwise have a home.

What the HECK, people! Let's give Orcs a little more substance than "We are batcrap crazy cannibals, durr hurr." The other races can wait.

 

[Spatula]

I voted bugbear, as it's the only remaining "large weapon" race I think, but really I would love an article that hits all three goblin races.

 

[Baumi]

I voted Kobolds. I'm not surprised that it is a #1 at the moment, but what surprises me that it is so much more loved than goblins (0 votes so far)...

 

[Matrix Sorcica]

Bugbear for me too. Githyanki and Orc close seconds.

It seems to me one of the nice things about 4e is that stats-wise you can PC-ise just about any size S or M race. Harpy? +2 Cha, +2 Str. Mind Flayer? +2 Int, +2 Wis. No problem. Abilities like flight, mind blast, etc, are rather more difficult, but perhaps a way round that would be to restrict them by tier. For instance, the Harpy and Mind Flayer might be restricted to the Paragon tier.
