D&D General Which non-D&D races would you like to see in D&D?

How about Gordon Dickson’s & Poul Anderson’s Hoka as a type of Fey?

Also, CJ Cherryh’s Atevi could work as a Machiavellian race of giant-kin.

Much like Stargate SG-1 did, in one homebrew, I used crashlanded alien Greys as my “Elves”. They used holography to appear “Fey”, and their use of tesseracts & time-warping/stasis technology became the basis for legends of Underhill and the odd passage of time.

Re: Magic of Incarnum

Not quite as cool as it should have been. To me, the mechanics just didn’t…flow. I really wanted to like it, but as much as I fiddle around with 3.5Ed to this very day, I almost never reach for MoI. I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe the mechanics’ jargon?

When Dreamscarred Press redid Magic of Incarnum and Book of Nine Swords for Pathfinder (1e), they made a point of tying them together much more seamlessly... I'm actually in the process of reworking those systems plus their PF psionics stuff to make a unified magic system that includes martial and psychic as magic power sources.

This reminds me, aren't there technically semi-canon greys in D&D lore due to the Alternity conversions back in Dragon?

I forget what Alternity called its Greys, but they had 2E stats for 'em

I think so.

In the Alternity setting, the Greys also were known as the Fraal.

d20Future had the 3e stats for the races in Alternity and Star Frontiers.

Stephen R. Donaldson’s Gap novels have the Amnion. They’re basically a biological version of ST:NG’s Borg, and in fact, showed up in print mere months after the Borg debuted on TV.

The problem with Ents/Tree folk is all the wood jokes, morning wood, you've got wood, the Oreads chooses to grapple your party's wood, truely endless.

And then, these days, there's absolutely gonna be that one guy who insists on replying, "I am Groot." to everything anyone says to him...
