Re: List of Character Races?
Heroes of Shadow seems to fill the same niche that HoH did in 3.5e. That may explain my confusion. What races were in the back of the monster manuals?

Re: List of Character Races?
I'll add that in. Is that the only race in that book?

Re: List of Character Races?
The Gith in the PHB 3 are the Githzerai, an entirely different race from the Githyanki.
Races detailed only in the Monster Manuals (many of the MM1 races are also in later books) are...
MM1: Bugbears, Githyanki, Goblins, Hobgoblins, Kobolds, Orcs. Also the Shadar-Kai, which are fully detailed in Dragon.
MM2: Bullywugs, Duergar, and Kenku.
Also, it's Wilden, not Wildren.Last edited by Mando Knight; 2011-03-21 at 07:00 PM.

Re: List of Character Races?
You are still missing the Gnoll (Dragon 367) and the shifter is from PH 2.
Edit: the Half-Orc is from PH2 as well. Other than that I think that is all the offical ones, In the Conpendium there is 38 so if you add the two new from HoS and combine the two shifters that comes out to 39.Last edited by KingFlameHawk; 2011-03-21 at 07:20 PM.

Re: List of Character Races?
Okay, that explains why I skipped over the other race. I'll separate them on the list.

Re: List of Character Races?
Anyone have that pdf errata/alternative rule with alternative racial ability modifiers (the one with dwarfs +2 wis, +2 con OR +2 str)? I remember seeing it somewhere and I think it have all the playable races.

Re: List of Character Races?
Alluria's got a 3rd party book of additional races, if you're including those.

Re: List of Character Races?
Remarkable Races, I believe. They also have a couple of 3rd party classes that look somewhat interesting.

Re: List of Character Races?
Are there any mechanical differences between the different types of Genasi?

Re: List of Character Races?
Yes.
Based on their Elemental Manifestation, they get different defense bonuses or resistances, or abilities, and different racial powers.Last edited by Sinon; 2011-04-13 at 09:56 PM.
