I say we add in some new races. We lost faeries, why not open it up a bit? We have frost giants in discord, Goblins all over the place, I remember we had a dragon race available for a halloween madness as well. Would spice things up, and maybe shift around some of the established power combos. Any other race suggestions?
Races in game that are not playable outside Restring
Orcs.
Neutral elves. Trolls.
How would you differentiate ogres and trolls? In my head they always seemed to be the same.
Zombies and Lycans.
Id like to see more goodie qraces. Avatar is good, but we have lich undead vamp and demon for evils. Id like to see some goodie themed quest races in a similar vein.
OGRE
TROLL
Summary:
1.Ogres are depicted as humanoid monsters; they are large, hideous, and cruel and are considered to feed on humans. 2.Their physical appearance includes large heads and abundant hair. They are considered humanly intelligent. Trolls are depicted as supernatural creatures. They are small in size and of varied appearances including ugly or human-like forms and sometimes dim-witted or very cunning.
3.Ogres originated from French folklore. Trolls originated from Scandinavian folklore.
4.Ogres are not considered to change into stones when in contact with sunlight; trolls are depicted to change to stone in the sunlight.
5.Ogres were considered unreasonable and murderous; trolls could be reasoned with and may or may not feed on humans.
Ogres and trolls are definitely discrete races, visually. The challenge with implementing trolls, in my mind, is that ogres already have the canonical ability that sets trolls apart and would make them desirable - health regeneration.
Personally I'd love to see some new medium- or smaller races with innovative abilities to make them desirable for play. For example...
GOBLIN
Aligns: Neutral or Evil
Ethos: Chaotic
Classes: Cleric, Shaman, Berserker, Ranger, Thief, Bard
Size: Small
Stats: 19 STR, 22 INT, 18 WIS, 25 DEX, 18 CON
Automastery: Dodge (105%) + Trip (102%)
Automatic Perk: Addict
Resistance: Mental
Vulnerability: Lightning
Immunity: Bash
Abilities might include something like a special skill... call it "backfire" or something, that can be used every 12 (or maybe 24) hours and has a chance to throw a firebomb (a la boulder throw) at your enemies for moderate fire damage and fire blind.
I like it, but I would say "no" to berserkers and probably 24 dex. 22 int + 25 dex is too much.

Drow have 24 int and 24 dex... 😛
Well, ranger with 25 dex, 105 dodge and immunity to bash will be like.... woot!
I think she means immunity to bash damage, not the bash skill. But lightning vuln with 25 dex would be brutal
Edited
Wood elves or a neutral elf option.

No, I meant immunity to the bash skill.
Unlaggable non prot shield classes really shouldnt exist. An unlaggable thief would cause people to absolutely lose their minds. Your risk for blackjack hits the floor.

I don't care if they're immune to bash if they're not immune to rage/bodyslam.
Lulz, new races for the 5 people who play. I'm sure Erelei will get right on that :P
