Tavern of the Blue Hand

Bebberman · 07-07-2002, 02:20 PM

So what races would you like to play as in a RPG?

What races do you not like to see in a RPG?

Any made-up races you'd like to see?

Ones I currently have are :

Dwarf
Elf
Gnome
Human
Krolven (like human but taller, and indian-like)

You can be half-<any of the above>

Ones I've considered:

Minotaur
Satyr
Orc
Ogre
Goblin
Imp
Troll

I'm not too much on creatures though.

Thanks in advance,

-Bebberman

No offense intended, but this forum is intended for the discussion of roleplaying concepts - not brainstorming for your particular project

. I'll move this to Tavern of the Blue Hand for now.

Giths !
Man, why you all always forget my race ?

But i'd advice not to try to make as many races as possible, but instead to make them as different as possible. So that orc wouldnt been just another human with +1 strenght, and fairie just another orc with -2 strenght and +2 intiligence.

I'd like to see Dragons, Aerians and some type of Feline or Canine race.

I'd say that the races matter less than the skill sets which come along with them. If you can create balance sets of skills/stats/upgradeability suites for each race, then you can have as many and as diverse a list of races and classes as you'd like. The problem usually comes down to: is it balanced, and is it just another template that someone messed with?

You people landed on what I was going to say. Dragons and felines. And even better if you can be half-dragons.
