More Races

[Jappy]

Hello,

I think there should be more races it is alittle boring that every update (except u26) has had no new races (or classes) and it would be interesting




Thank you

[lyrecono]

yes please,

i would like to see the eberron races completed,
Gnomes, Belongs in Eberron
Shifters, Belongs in Eberron
Kalastar, Belongs in Eberron
Changelings, Belongs in Eberron

maybe lizard folk and half ogers

No half dragons killed on sight by real dragons, no werewolfskilled on sight by the silver flame, no undead killed on sight by the silver flame, no dragonborn killed on sight by real dragons, no kobolds, no more elf subraces we have enough

The dev's have said they are working on gnome heads, presumably the body and enhancements shouldn't be far behind. No ETA on it, but it's out there

Gomes.. meh.. they have nothing to offer.. but it is a core Eberron Race and does open up some more dragonmarks..
Shifters..also known as the weretouched.. contradiction of your.. no werewolf...
Kalastar.. that would involve bringing in Psionics.. this would probably be something for an expansion.
Changelings.. effectively same stats as Drow.. more or less covered by Iconic Shadar-kai(no the same.. but close enough).

Would like to see Moon Elf with a wisdom core bonus.. could be iconic..

Your wrong on shifters they are acceptable though distrusted

They said no more iconics so Moon elf should be out unless they do a FR starter area

Gnomes should be added even though they are only flavor

agree on changelings they don't really do anything as they main use is only good for pnp

Dunno about half dragons, but Dragonborn function in Eberron just fine: http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Dragonborn

Stormreach is a frontier town with very minor Silver Flame presence. Even on the main continent, Karrnath has armies of undead, the king is a vampire, yet there is peace.

The lycanthropic purge is over. While werewolves are scarce, they exist in Eberron just fine. http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Werewolf

That said, I don't particularly miss any of those races, but please don't present your personal opinions as some kind of Eberron canon.

Kalastar.. that would involve bringing in Psionics.. this would probably be something for an expansion.powerpoints=spellpoints in ddo
Changelings.. effectively same stats as Drow.. more or less covered by Iconic Shadar-kai(no the same.. but close enough).there are a few racial dialog options out there, it could have been useful if the devs continued to develop this

Stormreach is a frontier town with very minor Silver Flame presence. Even on the main continent, Karrnath has armies of undead, the king is a vampire, yet there is peace. there is also peace between droam and Thrane, your point is moot, at least king Kaius keeps his undead in check, combats the emerald claw and strives for peace

The lycanthropic purge is over. While werewolves are scarce, they exist in Eberron just fine. http://eberron.wikia.com/wiki/Werewolf more 4,0 c!@#, there is a good reason why he kept templates out but kept a backdoor open for shifters (of which only a very small percentage could become a where-touched master btw)

That said, I don't particularly miss any of those races, but please don't present your personal opinions as some kind of Eberron canon.

read the actual 3,5 books instead of fan wiki's

your dragonborning was from 4e in 3.x which we are they were kill on sight as they should be worst race EVER! In orginal Eberron canon he is right.

DRAGONBORN IN EBERRON
Dragonborn fit well in Eberron with just a few small adjustments.
The conflict central to the dragonborn’s existence is that
between dragons and fiends, Eberron and Khyber, rather than
Bahamut and Tiamat. The dragonborn feel called by Eberron,
one of the progenitor wyrms, to serve. Their primary enemies
are the spawn of Khyber, including rakshasas and evil outsiders
of all sorts. The references to the Dragonfall Wars should be
interpreted as referring to the Dragon–Fiend Wars.
During the Rite of Rebirth, a candidate’s dragonmarks disappear
as the character transforms into a dragonborn and are
replaced by other feats of the player’s choice, as noted in the
Mechanics of Rebirth sidebar.
Dragons who avidly watch the lesser races and pay keen
attention to dragonmarks wonder at the fact that dragonborn
cannot retain or gain dragonmarks. Speculations abound, but if
any dragon knows the truth behind the loss of a dragonborn’s
dragonmark, that creature hasn’t spread the news.

Anyway, can you cite some sources to back up your wishful thinking?

[lyrecono]

not a Eberron book.
Written in by a bunch of dragon fangirls.
I have no idea why Keith is linked to this text, the book was written by Gwendolyl F.M. Kestrel, Jennifer Clarke Wilkes and Kolja Raven Liquette, Keith isn't even mentioned in the book.
Again, one of those little benefits of reading the real book over a web page.
read the original reasons why Keith Baker kept half dragons out and you'll understand why dragonborn don't fit into this campaign setting.

No more elfs.
Ever, at any condition, we have too much already.

OP optional as all splat books are NOT AN EBERRON BOOK

[SirValentine]

yes please,

i would like to see the eberron races completed,
Gnomes, Belongs in Eberron
Shifters, Belongs in Eberron
Kalastar, Belongs in Eberron
Changelings, Belongs in Eberron

Yes. And I'm glad you have Gnome at the top of that list, as it is also a core race in the other 2 universes we have in DDO.

I want bugs. Gimme thri-kreen naow.

There is absolutely nothing Iconic about an Elf with +Wisdom!

If any Elf should have got +Wis in DDO it's the Broken Non-Iconic Morninglords {Sun Elves} who btw aren't even supposed to be Elves in D&D - Amaunator AND Lathander Morninglord were BOTH Human Gods!


Moon Elves are your typical High Elves {Your STANDARD Elves!} Which we already have in DDO - Aerenal!

The Valenar are supposed to be closer to Sylvan Elves but aren't a proper separate sub-race in DDO so I could definitely see Sylvan Elves added as a final Elf Subrace {+2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Con, -2 Cha}


For Wisdom - Well there's a distinct possibility of giving that to Mountain Dwarves {+2 Wis, +2 Con, -2 Dex, -2 Cha would fit well}.
And two Gnome Subraces - Forest Gnomes AND Svirfneblin have previously been Wis Races in D&D!

Yay april fools day 24/7 365 days a year.
Is that race good for anything else?

Regardless, since it's an official WotC 3.5 book, what it says about Eberron applies to Eberron.

The reasons why Argonnessen attacks Half-Dragons on sight are because it is considered abomination for Dragons to copulate with lesser races. Dragonborn are different. They are "created" via a ritual. No Dragon has sullied themselves to make one.

I don't like Dragonborn myself (they're too "gamey" if you know what I mean) but, unfortunately, the lore of Eberron doesn't preclude them like it does Half-Dragons.
