D&D (2024) Which races would YOU put into the 50th anniversary Players Handbook?

[Twiggly the Gnome]

For my don't alienate anyone and cause another failed edition answer, I think Level Up got it right:

Dragonborn
Dwarf
Elf
Gnome
Halfling
Human
Orc
Planetouched

With general rules on mixed species characters.

My selfish, only include options that match my homebrew setting answer would be much different.

 

[payn]

Wth man?!

Oh cmon it would be glorious! WOTC has catered to grogs yet again!

 

[cbwjm]

Same ones from the original 5e PHB.

 

[delericho]

Human
Dwarf
Elf
Halfling
Dragonborn
Gnome
Half-elf
Half-orc
Tiefling

No subraces - with the removal of cultural elements from race descriptions the races are very thin, removing any need for them.

 

[Aurel Guthrie]

Human

Dwarf
Elf
Half-Orc

Halfling
Gnome
Tiefling

Half-Elf
Dragonborn
Aasimar

Orc
Drow
Goliath

Goblin
Kobold
Minotaur

 

[Malmuria]

Human
Demi Human
Half Human
Big Human
Humanoid
Animal Human
Plant Human
Celestial and Infernal Human
Robot Human
Hooman
Underground Human
Underwater Human
Space Human

 

[Weiley31]

At least ONE Aberration. Keep it the same after that or just toss along in Mord's race selection as well.

 

[CreamCloud0]

Human
-
Hill dwarf, High elf, Lightfoot halfling

Tiefling, Half-orc, Goblin

Dragonborn, Drow, Rock gnome

Warforged, Aasimar, Dryad

[MoonSong]

None.

Race is 100% fluff with no mechanical advantage. That also means no extra bonuses to stats.

 

[Jer]

One that I think actually will be in the revised phb is the Warforged. All the other Eberron races are in MoM but the Warforged is conspicuous by its absence.
