Re: What races do you want to see?
...did you say herpes?
Ahem. Anyway. I started casting about for ideas, but a string of random thoughts turned into 'small-size golem-people', which might be a bit too Warforged. But still, it was going two ways, one into mechanical/metal-looking chaps, the other into a more natural look... earthy, clay, dirt, dust, DUST! Little playable dust-golem people!
I think I might just write this one myself.I support paladins and the alignment system.

Ok, that is a very strange typo. I’ll rectify that before people get offended.

Re: What races do you want to see?
How does no anthropomorphic animals and magical beasts go together? And outsiders might pose a problem with resurrection and all that (as do undead) but it's not like you can't pull a warforged-exception on them. But fey, vermin, giants and plants (and if possible oozes) I would very much like to see.
Maybe instead of outsiders (which seem to me a bit too 'far out' to be a player race) you could include resurrectable, downsized elementals. Caught somewhere between a plane-touched and a full elemental, but still registering as elemental. You could do the same with the undead race, they're not alive, but not fully undead, because of some curse or something. They can be resurrected (up to a certain point, namely between life and unlife), but negative energy still heals them. or something.

Re: What races do you want to see?
Ok, you're correct about magical beasts and anthropomorphic animals... But I still don't like that particular soulution. It seems that some people cannot come up with anything more imaginative than a mix of animal and human...
All outsider and construct races should be "raise-able" of course, just as most native outsiders (is that still an official subtype?).
When I pictured the undead race, I was thinking of the remnants of a destroyed civilisation, whose citiziens where put to death but bodily preserved in one of their cities. ("A wizard did it!" ) Now they have awoken for some reason, (with little or no memories intact) trying to find their place in a changed world...
EDIT: Their major racial ability could be that they are much easier to "ressurect", through some mid-level necromantic spell that can be cast by both arcane and divine spellcasters.
EDIT2: Perhaps they do indeed retain memories (at least partially) from when they were alive, but they were subject to a major, civilization-wide level-drain effect (which means that you can play an undead guy at level 1 who used to be an epic wizard and remembers most of it even though his power has been drained. Also, he lost a great deal of his knowledge. In fact, one could represent the fragmented memories of the members of this race by giving them a racial 'lore' ability, much like a weaker bardic knowledge-thing.)Last edited by dead_but_dreaming; 2007-02-25 at 10:12 AM.

I've always liked that idea.

Re: What races do you want to see?
What about different races based on various environments?
I agree that you can have too many anthropomorphic races. Lizardfolk, Avians, and Catfolk are more than enough. We don't need the noble goatfolk (Ibixians) or the noble horsefolk (Equicephs).

Re: What races do you want to see?
Zoras? Gorons? (yes, I have been playing a bit too much Zelda, but they would be fun to stat out.)
I like all of the races from Arana Evolved. Some anthro-types, but there is this one race that is basically a dark-skinned human with a magic affinity. Some neat template-type player races as well.Characters:

Re: What races do you want to see?
Tree-people, like Dryads. But the plantness has to be in the distant past. Like the Neanderthal to our Human.
A Plant version of Eberron's Changelings, basically.
A people obsessed with glory and honor, who happen to be a vaguely vulture-like people. Like, neckruffs instead of hair, that sort of thing. And ritual eating of the dead, because this is vultures, after all.

Re: What races do you want to see?
Rabbits is a good idea. I don't see gnomes being badgers though. Badgers are just too big. Moles are half the size of badgers if that.
On another note, awakening the zerg might solve the problem of the overmind. I mean Kerigan was awakened. sort of anyway. she was effectively a cerebrate. but still.

Re: What races do you want to see?
Hmm....thread about new race ideas: Always the same thing.
Furries
Lets show some self-control people: There are enough Anthropomorphic races.
That said.
Shokati: Pale skinned, white-haired individuals from cold climates. They've learned to live in these harsh environs by bonding with the natural spirits of the area.
Spoiler1. +2 Wisdom, -2 Intelligence; the tribal Shokati are deeply connected to the spiritual world, but poorly adapted to formal learning
2. Medium
3. Base Land Speed 30 ft.
4. Cold Hardiness: Shokati are accustomed to cold climates; and are protected from extreme cold as per the spell Endure Elements.
5. Spiritual Patron: Shokati are bound to a Fey Spirit at birth; Shokati can choose three Orisons at 1st level. They gain those as Spell-Like Abilities usable once per day.
6. +2 to Heal and Survival: Shokati have an affinity for nature and rely on an intrinsic ability to take care of themselves and others to last in their frigid climes.
7. Weapon Familiarity: Lajatang; Shokati revere the Crescent-Moon shape of the Lajatang and use it for their many ceremonial purposes. Shokati treat the Lajatang as a Martial Weapon.
Base Languages: Sho Kattha; Bonus Languages: Common, Sylvan, Gnoll, Elven, Darfellan, Aquan, Auran
Terthura: Fey adapted to live in the burgeoning urban landscape. Unable to avoid society, they've instead learned to live among the people and have since blended in as easily as in any other jungle.
Spoiler-Fey
-Small
-Base Move Speed: 20 ft.
-+2 Cha, -2 Wis: Terthura are at home in busy street and have tremendous social grace, but carry their ancestors flighty nature and lack of focus.
-Word on the Street: Terthura work city streets almost magically, the time required for a Terthura to perform a Gather Information check in an urban area is halved.
-+2 to Bluff, Gather Information, and Sense Motive: They're too streetwise for niceties, but Terthura know the morally fluid nature of the city even outside of it.
-Deal or no Deal: Terthura know how to haggle, and recieve an automatic 10% discount (rounded up to the nearest gold coin, but never higher than the original price) on all purchased goods. Apply this discount after applying any other reductions to price (such as normal haggling)
-Big City Lights: Terthura are bonded to urban environments just like Dryads to the forest. A Terthura takes a cumulative penalty of -1 to her Int, Wis, and Cha for each week she spends outside of an urban area.
-Little Piece of Home: A Terthura always possesses a piece of her hometown; a cobblestone, a floorboard from her favorite bar, a chip from a local statue, or anything else with significance. If a Terthura loses this piece of her homeland, she takes a -2 on all attack rolls, damage rolls, skill checks, and saves until she either recovers it or acquires a new object.
Base Languages: Common, Undercommon. Bonus Languages: Elven, Dwarven, Gnomish, Sylvan, Terran, Auran, Ignan, Aquan.Last edited by ArmorArmadillo; 2007-02-26 at 05:47 PM.

Re: What races do you want to see?
I'm absolutely loving the Shokati concept, Armadillo.
Any objections to my stealing/adapting? Just for homebrew, you understand.
...some elements thereof, at least.

My colors are Blue/Green. I value versitality, knowledge, evolution, and the nautral world. I have a deep fascination with living things, and a natural talent for adaptation. At my best, I am intuitive and adaptive. At my worst, I am isolated and unsympathetic. My symbol is the twisted tree, and my enemy is Red/Black.

Re: What races do you want to see?
I've actually got stats for basically a whole Mario game. Here, in a Wiki. It's a whole setting, and it's pretty good. I had nothing to do with it.
And yay, plant people :D
I have an FFX race tentatively statted out (Guado), but I'm not terribly good at stats. I should post it and let it get picked at.
