With which race do you identify?

[Ralif Redhammer]

I've probably played more dwarves than any other race. Humans are second.

I think that there's some facet of my own personality in every character I create. And yes, I am a stubborn grudge-bearing beer-drinker.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

But I do love Halflings.

And not "I have hairy feet and like to stay at home, yet for some reason am an adventuring thief" hobbit halflings.

I mean weird semi-nomadic cool Halflings.

*cough* kender *cough*

And most humans like to stay home, too. Adventurers are supposed to be exceptional.

 

[Lee's Fortune]

I'm a half-orc at work, or so my coworkers say. I build houses

 

[Tequila Sunrise]

Elves. I get impatient with others' pettiness and stupidity all the time. If I could hide myself away in a magical forest forever, I would.

 

[Ry]

Although I'm a 5'10, normal build kind of guy... I really identify with the "screw you guys, I'll take that giant on myself!" angry little ambitious halfling.

 

[Nifft]

Human. For all the obvious reasons.

[Herobizkit]

I identify with the half-elven way of life the most, i think. Having the practicality and desires of humanity intermingled with the joie-de-vivre and taking each day as it comes like the elves.

 

[Odhanan]

Human.

 

[Sejs]

If race has no feature in the character as I envision it, I tend to default to human.

Humans, elves, and half-elves are what I commonly play. Every once in a while I'll roll up a dwarf, but they don't usually last too long (the 20' movement kills me). I've played a halfling once. Never played a half-orc or gnome.

I mostly play humans because I can best identify with them and it's easiest for me to come up with a wide range of character types. Elves I play because I like their elegance. Half-elves I play in roleplaying-heavy campaigns where the mixed blood of the character will cause some interesting roleplaying situations (I prefer the old "feared and mistrusted" half-elf to the "master diplomat" half-elf). I'd like to play a half-orc sometime for the same reason; I just haven't had the opportunity yet.
