Here's hoping that all of those races Collins mentioned are playable out of the MM--along with githzerai and lizardfolk, as well.

 

[Rechan]

Damn.

I would have really liked to see any (or all) of those races as playable in the PHB.

Agreed. I was rootin' for Kobold or Goblinoids. Also Aasimar to an extent.

This is from Shoe's quote:

"Generally, you need to know numbers for hp, defense, attack, and damage.."

I suppose this means that AC as we know it is out and that a SWSE-style defense system is in. Was this confirmed earlier and am I behind the power curve?

I very much hope this is the case! I don't think it's enough to confirm, but it is a positive indication.

Does it really matter as long as they are playable in the first round of core books? Ill be pretty damned happy if there is a playable warforged in the MM.

Sweet! MM's as good as the PHB as far as I'm concerned. I'm very happy that they'll be giving us multiple playable races right off the bat that will likely be in the SRD. Woot!

Like the mind flayer, beholder, yuan-ti ...

I'd expect WOTC to keep warforged as IP. Which is fine with me; I don't care for player robots in my brand of fantasy.

My question right now is why the tiefling is a playable race in the PHB but not the aasimar?

Rhymes with "Schmorlock".

My question is - if devils are now all fallen angels, what's the real difference between an aasimar and a tiefling mechanically anyway?

The tiefling's power source is "emo".
