Thank you very much !

Weren't Underdark Drow slated for release as a racial variant?

Perhaps we'll see Talentia Halflings racial variant. Don't know how Haflings could be improved though, since Khorvaire Halflings are already the master race.

[HungarianRhapsody]

Thri-Kreen quad-wielding Inquisitive crossbows.

[Merrillman]

Water & Cold Genasi (Druid or Sorcerer Iconic):

With such wonderful and underused items and things like Legendary Wave & Burst of GW, making a cold/water based racial tree similar to a Tiefling’s should be fairly easy to do, just focused on Cold & Water. Also, since the most resisted damage type is Cold, it makes sense to give the option to balance cold resistance with something to overcome it, and a fix to two handed items being underpowered vs. dual wield, especially for casters, is also necessary.

This list is updated from some data gathered by a poll I ran a while back prior to the introduction of Dragonborn, Gnome and Deep Gnome.

1 - Thri-Kreen
2 - Tiefling (Made more dark and aesthetically pleasing in appearance)
3 - Kobold
4 - Catfolk or Tabaxi
5 - Genasi
6 - Goliath
7 - Kenku
8 - Triton
9 - Yuan-Ti
10 - Eladrin (Ghaele + Bralani)
11 - Changelings
12 - Quorforged
13 - Inspired
14 - Duergar
15 - Arcanaloth/Nycaloth/Mezzoloth/Ultroloth

Personally, I feel a Tiefling Iconic with Intelligence to hit and damage on their racial enhancement tree would be awesome, call it infernal cunning!

Having recently got the 5e Eberron book I would really like to see the iconic Eberron races completed.

So

Shifter - I appreciate that there might be issues with the visual of a transformation. I would be happy with a furry race with the option of getting the bonuses of a shifted form X times/rest

Changeling - again transformation issues, but it could have visuals of the default race with some reasonably potent charm abilities

Bugbear - 'monster' races (ditto for following) for which they already have some skins

Goblin

Hobgoblin

[okkwaho]

Honestly, I'd be wicked to see variants of the were beasts as playable sub-races.

Maybe instead of full on new races, DDO could look at the sub-races and templates available in pencil & paper for already playable races.

I would very much like to play a Were Tiger Fighter, or a werewolf ranger or a werebear barbarian, a wererat rogue ...

You could give them an enhancement tree each of their own to assimilate their individual respective abilitys and play styles in the hardcovers

I mean the pale master kinda already has vampire in the game, but maybe you could even come up with a vampire sub-race tree as well.

It'd be amazing if you could customize the look as well, nothing too fancy, but choices like in character creation would suffice.

[zanshinoftyr]

I see from the producers letter that they do plan to give us the shifter race later this year.

I am pleased about this, it is one of the iconic Eberron kindreds and will have visuals that are different from most of the current fare, plus racial abilities in terms of transformation. Should be a good race for melee's I expect

Here's the 3e stats

Humanoid (Shapechanger)
+2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma
Medium
Base land speed 30
Shifting (SU): 1/day for 3 + Con modifier rounds, a shifter can enter a transformed state superficially similar to a barbarian rage, gaining a benefit and a +2 bonus to one ability score based on their shifter subrace. For every Shifter feat, their transformation time per day increases by +1 round, and for every 2 such feats, they can transform +1 time per day.
Beasthide: +2 Constitution, +2 natural AC
Longtooth: +2 Strength, bite attack 1d6+1/4 levels damage
Cliffwalk: +2 Dexterity, Climb speed 20 feet
Razorclaw: +2 Dexterity, 2 claw attacks 1d4+1/4 levels damage
Longstride: +2 Dexterity, +10ft speed
Wildhunt: +2 Constitution, Scent
Low-light Vision
+2 racial bonus on Balance, Climb, and Jump checks.

Please can we have a minotaur
and if so a minotaur barbarian iconic? Please?

[KoobTheProud]

If they do Shifter it'd be nice to see it focused on Lycanthropic pursuits. Have the racial enhancement tree figure heavily into the race, with no reason to play one if you weren't going to drill down into the racial options. Maybe make a couple or three sub-trees sitting in the racial tree like Arcane Archer sits in Ranger and the Elven trees.

It'd be different to play and likely fun. Fun is good.

Make the plan such that you might play a Barbarian/Shifter/Werebear or an Assassin/Shifter/Wererat. Have the racial trees set up so they would play well with Fighter and Monk also. Probably limit the race to those 4 classes to keep them lore-friendly and avoid unforseen consequences with OP classes and other kaleidoscoping trees like Ranger's Arcane Archer.

16- Antinerf a new race that has a antinerf feat so future updates and nerfs can not affect it.

[Zarkarion]

Iconic: Goblin Artificer.

With a racial tree including some occasionally powerful but highly unreliable stuff.

[Kutalp]

I would like to see Rat race.

[Alrik_Fassbauer]

I would like to see Rat race.

If this was the Chronicle, I'd instantly draw you as a winner.



Personally, I'd like to see Medusas. They'd even share a very similar 3D model with Elves, Humans, or even Aadsimar,, only the head would have to be remodelled very differently.
But then, they'd be overpowered because of their looks (turn anything into stone, except Stone Elementals perhaps, lol).

Yeah. Medusas and DDO have a long and seductive history around Lordsmarch diplomacy ( It allways feels like Hestess and Yorrick Amanatu were somehow related and Delera was jealous of this when she heard Hestess was mother of Amanatu's half dwarf half medusa babies lving at Droam lands... [Mind you both Medusas and Dwarves are rock born so...] (drum roll for cheap soap opera; but also ridiclously funny) ; much before Spinner and Forgotten realms showed up. Well there is also Mariliths and Erinyes and Archons.



It feels like stories of D&D are orbitting around virtual ladies controlling the entire realms !

[elvesunited]

Like to see some of the standard races fleshed out similar to how elf has been

Elf -> Wood Elf -> Sun Elf prestige

Dwarf -> Duegar -> Battlerager prestige
Halfling -> Talenta Halfling -> Outrider prestige

Your missing Minotaur!

[palladin9479]

Nah they gotta make another race that gives +2 CHR / WIS or INT with -STR or DEX. Also must make it's racial enhancements add spell crit, immunity bypass or ranged alacrity.

[AstorPotamus]

I’d pay for a succubus/incubus race, but their armor has to look like lingerie for the ladies, and bare chested males wearing mithril cod pieces.
