I'm that special breed of faggot whose favourite PC race is aasimar, tiefling, etc., basically signalling that I want to be unique but also prefer vanilla over chocolate.your favourite PC race
Dwarves that are not as wide as they are tall, at least in the early DnD days. They gradually morphed into tricksters and pranksters. Except Whisper Gnomes. Those are silent death incarnate...Never played gnome what's their niche?

wanted to complain about people not bringing any new data to the table but...
Everything so far shows the same trend, even when looking at codex members(with as expected elves being swapped by dwarfs).
Im quite surprised. Before any of this i kind of assumed more or less even distribution between humans/elves/dwarfs. Creating more than 3 races seem quite a waste of resources. One would argue just to stick to human PC and potentially have companions of other races.
I really wonder how distribution looks on dos2.
Orcs, dwarves, various elves... I honestly want them to be thrown out of fiction already, I want to see new races that are more obscure. I've also passed that period where you try to associate character with yourself, I just create an image in my head and roll with it, it's dissapointing to me that 99% of time you have to play human, I really want to see something more original. The classic race stock has become incredibly stale to me, even though I haven't played that many games.
Also, have you played Serpents in the Staglands yet?
where:
Your mortal body will be that of one of the game’s five playable races, varied and a breath of fresh air in a genre that too often borrows from Tolkien’s works, and will choose one of the three racial variants to further differentiate character creation.
The races are:
Ameythevian
Varuchov
Lachovinian
Taratorith
Pasaaren

I said it before: human is pretty xenophobic. Of course we would choose to play as human, mostly.

What's the real details of each one, or are they just human with different names?

Honestly, I'd be quite happy if all the effort put into having other races w accompanying stat/story differences was instead put into having different backgrounds for a human PC w accompanying stat/story differences.Creating more than 3 races seem quite a waste of resources. One would argue just to stick to human PC and potentially have companions of other races.
Except "lizard" or "cat"-people are not "unique". Just humans with superficial, purely physical animal features thrown in, in most cases. Usually it goes something like +2 speed/agility/whatever for "cat-people" or +to some other stat/some resistance to "lizard-people" and that's more or less all the differences from humans. Basically they are just humans with scales or fur. Oh my, how original.Never understood the popularity of dwarfs I allways thought they are obnoxoius and incredible boring, I mean is there any fantasy universe where they are vastly different then Tokien's dwarfs.
I usually play the more unique races like lizzard or cat people or good old humans.

They're just fantasy jews. You're supposed to despise their trickery and greed, not to play them.Never played gnome what's their niche?
