Now that Saltmarsh is here...

[Praya20]

Can we possibly revisit the idea of the next playable Race to be Triton?

I've seen it suggested a few times over the years but I can't see a better time for this to become a thing. With the new mini-expansion, Saltmarsh, I feel it could be expanded on with the Scarlet Brotherhood, Azure Sea and the Greyhawk wars etc. and bring a new playable Race in the form of Tritons and/or a new Iconic (Possibly a Dukar Triton (Wizard) or Crimson Shell Peacekeeper (Paladin). I know Wizard and Paladin have been done, but if you don't know much about them they are pretty interesting!

Triton would fit in nicely they're a flexible race that can work well with a lot of classes, tridents could become a thing? Qstaves if no Tridents could get some more love...

Definitely think it's worth considering

And I know a lot of people aren't really looking for more content rather just fixes to what we already have, but I would love to see Tritons in DDO.

While I wouldn't say no to new exotic races, I'd rather flesh out the list with the better known and more iconic races first, like kobolds, duerger, svirfneblin, aasimar, orc, etc.

svirfneblin, aasimar

your wish is granted!

I don't remember seeing those options last time I fiddled around with the creator.

aasimar came out in 2018ish?

and svirfneblin are also known as deep gnomes which are an iconic race

[Xgya]

Yup.
We have deep 'nomes and deep elves, now we gotta have deep dwarves.

Bring on the Duergar!

Alternatively, let me kill the Sharn Syndicate as a kobold to remind them about the Waterworks.

I don't count iconics.

As for aasimar, I somehow missed them being added. I remember tieflings being added without the other side.

In any case, the common familiar races should be added before strange esoteric ones.

only if kobold is first just so i can run around telling people i still hate them

Kobolds are definitely top of my wish list.

I'm even playing one right now in a pbp game.

[Praya20]

Never thought of Kobold.... I think I'd definitely like to see Kobold as a playable race

you dont count iconics?

but they are.... a... race... you can select when you select a race.......


does not compute, shut......... dow.... no....

[TheAlicornSage]

I don't count iconics because you are limited by them. Your first level is chosen for you, and you start halfway through the game. It isn't the full experience, therefore it doesn't count. You can't even trade away the first class with reincarnation, nor will reincarnation bring you back to lvl 1.

Love the TOS reference though.
