Cirolle journeyman Joined: Mar 2020	Originally Posted by Gmazca I saw a video on youtube where someone mentioned 15 races, but I don't 100% believe the source. It's hard to say without Larian coming out and saying it themselves. Interesting, because for some reason I am under the impression that 15 races will be in, but when I looked through the interviews and reveal again I can't find any reference or confirmation for it. Do you remember what youtube video it was?

Do you remember what youtube video it was? I believe the video I saw was referring to the Press Kit that Azarhal mentioned. I'll have to do some digging to find it, but I know it was a more obscure channel, so I didn't completely trust it. However, I don't think 15 races is a stretch considering what is in the player handbook and what is available already. Last edited by Gmazca; 06/03/20 10:15 PM.

As for races I think would be cool to play, I guess Aarakocra, Goliath and Lizardfolk Last edited by H0RSE; 08/03/20 03:23 AM.

Omegaphallic old hand Joined: Jul 2019	Originally Posted by Gmazca I think we need all the races/sub-races in the player's handbook for starts. The missing races from Early Access include: Dragonborn Gnomes Half-Orc And, if they have all of the required spells, it should be easy enough to copy/paste the Tiefling model and add all of their sub-races: Baalzebul Dispater Fierna Glasya Levistus Mammon Mephistopheles I'm curious if the Tiefling subraces will have unique appearance differences from each other, like wil you be able to tell a Zariel Tiefling from an Asmodean Tiefling, from a Fierna Tiefling like you can between Elf and Dwarf subraces.

And it sounds about right as they avoided to answer on multiclassing, which means they are testing it and it will probably be in at release. Last edited by Nyanko; 10/03/20 03:12 AM.

I am the extreme opposite here. I think that play as human is too boring and generic (human fighter is the epitome of generic character). Elves, dwarfs, halflings are just another favor of human. Originally Posted by AnonySimon Honestly, I would love to see eventually (possibly with DLCs) EVERY single published 5e D&D race. But the races that I would most likely want to see include: - Yuan-ti Pureblood (Volo's Guide to Monsters) - Firbolg (Volo's Guide to Monsters) - Ararackra (Tome of Annihilation) - Tortle (Tome of Annihilation) - Changeling (Eberron: Rising of the Last War) - Shifter (Eberron: Rising of the Last War) - Warforged (Eberron: Rising of the Last War) - Kalashtar (Eberron: Rising of the Last War) EDIT: For those who would argue that Baldur's Gate is in the Forgotten Realms, not X, Y, or Z setting, The ship that the illithid was flying in the open scene, is a spelljammer which CAN travel between settings. It is very possible for the spelljammer to have picked up parasite hosts in other worlds before crashing outside of Baldur's Gate. Kalashtar and Shifter is too similar to humans. By another hand, changeling and aasimar are good addition even being "too human" for my taste. Aasimar because itÂ´s a good counter weight for tiefling and changeling because it open a lot of new cool possibilities for story. Goliath, dragonborn, genasi, lizardman are a great options too. Lizard and dragonborn should be only copy/paste work for Larian since they have stuff from Divinity Original Sin. Originally Posted by anjovis bonus Just the basics and maybe githyanki if the plot needs it. No drow, duergar or other exotic races thank you. Why not? More options donÂ´t hurt. Even if we see no NPC of these races letÂ´s allow as the player main character if he choose so. Last edited by NamelessÂ´s Fan; 07/03/21 10:52 PM. Reason: I thought more
