Next DDO race should be.......

[Galinar]

Duergar!!!! Underdark Dwarves

1. They already have the graphics in game.
2. Duergar's Enlarge ability is in game with Undying Vanguard from Unyielding Sentinel. Make the ability like a barbarian or Shifter rage but with the larger frame.
3. In the racial enhancement tree add ways to enhance the Enlarge ability: Duration, Str, Con. Also this would be a great place to work some more under used weapons such as the maul and the heavy pick. Maybe top tier gives maul +2 Crit range and +1 Crit range to heavy picks.
4. Racial TRs could provide a 2nd +1 STR race.
5. We have 3 types of Elves and 2 types of cat races. We need some dwarven balance!

I was going to hop into this thread and say Kobold...because they are already in the game etc etc...

But your Duegar suggestion is just too darn good.

Though Battlerager Dwarf Iconic would also get my vote.

[megaerik01]

As much as I like all things dwarf, i'd still like to see goblins playable at some point. For pretty much all the same reasons people want kobold.

Kobold Shaman / Candle Caster
Kalashtar / Psiforged Elocator

[FuzzyDuck81]

We could really do with a rise (heh) of the dwarves... Duregar sorcerer iconic would be a good one & would contrast with the deep gnome wizard. At the same time, adding a second subrace to differentiate between hill & mountain dwarves (as was done for elves a while back) could be a good option too.

I'd also like to see a dwarven battlerager, maybe as a combination of iconic & archetype, that functions as a hybrid of sword (well, axe/hammer/pick) & shield fighter & barbarian, taking features from vanguard & frenzied berserker.

Just don't dig too deep like Durin did, he woke something he shouldn't have :-)

[Bjond]

Arcane Ooze

It already exists.

It would take very little effort to adapt existing cosmetics for it.

It would look amazing with Reindeer Antlers or a Santa Hat (about the time next race would be ready).

[Fauxknight]

Thematically we still need Kalashtar and Changeling.

Mechanically we need another Strength based race, my best guess there would be Goliath.

For funzies we need Kobolds.

[Lotoc]

People keep saying they want kobold, but honestly 3 lives of halfling for racial completionist was bad enough. Unless kobold has a really good racial tree and has enough to set it apart from what halfling already does it'll likely end up as just 'scaly halfling'.
Personally I'd more like to see some subraces akin to wood elf before more full races, deurgar being a subrace to dwarf would be fitting and honestly having the iconics as subrace options without enforced first levels would be a great addition to the game in my opinion.

As far as full races?
Genasi acting as a more melee orientated counterpart to dragonborn, racial tree with an imbue associated with your element and a couple imbue dice.
Goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears. Goblins definitely have a decent enough model but hobs and bugbears would need a bit of an update to fit current standards. Could potentially put them all on the same Goblinoid past life and have them as subrace options (though I am aware the 3 aren't really related and goblinoid is more a lore classification than a species one).
Dhampir or some other form of undead adjacent race could be interesting.

[Bunker]

Duergar Battle Smith.

• Move con attack/dmg up from tier 4
• Start as artificer level 1
• Melee focused

2024 year of the Dwarf!!!!

[Valtan]

The best we can do is a cat-themed dungeon - Brent "Torc" Walton

[magaiti]

It would be hard to beat PoE's "Cats when Damage Taken" April Fool's.

[Scrag]

Duergar sounds great!

We seem to be all in on the dark emo evil but we wont say the word classes, like deep gnome, tiefling, drow, shardakar, bladeforged (that god be evil it seems!)

In it for the win w/ duergar!

Dwarven Battlerager, I don't care if its a Duergar Iconic, I've wanted to play a Battlerager for years ever since first visiting Thunderholme.

Dwarves deserve love too, you just can't see how unhappy they are under their beards.
