I was a-wondering as to which race would you be? I have collected a few races from the D&D ruleset and hopefully have most of them that will provide a good enough selection :)

Oh yeah - if you vote you must reply with why ;)

I'm Drow because that is what I'm most like *shrug* er, best I could think of, but perhaps go into more death ;)

What the heck is an Alu-Fiend? :p

I'd be a Githzerai because:

a) Monk-ish lifestyle
b) Psionics
c) Sailing the Astral seas

I want to be a Wemic!

What the hells a Wemic?

An Alu-fiend

IIRC - Fiend mother mortal father, Baatezu I think...

:rolleyes: All you 3rd edition rookies...Don't you have a fiend folio or Monster Manual 2?!?!?!

A wemic is kind of like a centaur, but with the features of a lion. Here's a pic:

It's no good, I can't deny my clumsy human blood. Despite my fine elven ears, I'm 100% home-grown texan-style Homo Sapien. :(

I am a human because:
I don't have special abilities or other bonusses
I don't have pointy ears
I am blond, 188cm tall, green eyes, dark eyebrows
I can adapt to most situations/people
I breathe with my longues
I don't have wings or scales
etc.

I'd like to be a half-elf or Aasimar (Clerics and Paladins).
Or perhaps a Water Genasi, I like swimming in the rain and when I go to the toilet, I... oh, well...

Hmmm - most assuredly a dwarf

I am kind of short (but not halfling size).
I am REALLY hairy - big beard and all!
I have a short temper for flowery elves.
I have always been a fan of battleaxes.
And most importantly...

I love a good frothy mug!! :xx:

hmmm only 1 draconian? i mean come on they live a good life... naturally evil. twisted in morals. liketo fight. and most have a couple ticks that cant do anything but help.. tsk tsk tsk in ashamed........... although drow are my 2nd choic for those same reasons . ....

[ October 30, 2002, 01:22: Message edited by: DarkExile ]

Elf..halfelf...or drow...Or maybe half-drow?
Hmmm I take half-elf.

Considering my love for food I'm a halfling, a rather tall one though =)

mmm I think elf suits me.

Not tall, not hairy at all, quiet, swift... I think I only miss the pointed ears, and that's a little difficult to achieve without surgery :p

What about class. Doesn't that reflect your style/personal a bit more.

Example - The questionaire at the begining of Morrowind. That tells you what class best suits you from your answers.

Plus, i can't relate to Race.

I would have to be some kind of Thief, perhaps one that uses their abilities for some level of goodness.

I'll be a...

Human. :D :p

Although one of my friends is a half-elf, I call him that, because he has half-pointy ears.

Dwarf because I prefer the Dark to Sunlight and love acting grumpy. :)

I'd have to say that I'm an "Aasimar" because I'm a tall, heroic, charismatic human who calls God "Father" and Jesus "Big Brother" and is convinced that he is a solider in the Kingdom of God. (no really!) :good: :holy:

On a lighter note ... if I'd have picked Dryad, would I get to hang out in the showers???? :love: :grin:

I voted beholder

I'm very perceptive :rolleyes:

First of all there is no such race as dragonian or whatever you called them. Dragons are all called DRAGONS!!! That is the name of the race.
Anyway i would like to be a half-dragon(A by-product of a dragon taking a humans form and raping a woman of any other race such as human, sun elf etc.) Why?

1)The abilitie to reach 30 in all stats or in any
2)The super hard skin which will protect me against normal weapon
3)The cool Dragomorth abilitie
4)Spells both cleric and mage that dragons have(NOTE: Half-dragons get almost the same amount as dragons)
5)The cool appearance
6)I just like them too much

Padeen "The Dragon" Dragonblade!

First of all this is fantasy, dragonblade.

Second. Heck Bel! That would certainly give you an edge on intimidation i court :shake:

[ October 30, 2002, 19:03: Message edited by: Nobleman ]

Excuse me Padeen - Draconians are in the Dragonlance books - or something like that :p

(ask Frosty, she shall reveal all :cool: )

8people ... ever met Bel? He doesn't need help on the intimidate roll. Imagine the body of a viking, with the mind of a skilled litigator. The Mighty Bel-asouris can defeat you just as easily with the edge of his wit as the edge of his blade.

I do Rock!!! ;) :grin: :spin: :roll: :lol:

Thanks for the props, Math! Dude, you are SO money! :D

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Someone please tell me what is going on. Have I missed something? Because I can't remember saying enything :(

8people - Mathetais is getting on in years...It's best to just humor him! ;) :lol: :grin: :spin: :roll:

I chose to be a Drow. Why? Because on all other fourms, my avitar is Solaufien the Drow's pic. I also feel like I live in the Underdark since I am always in this small computer room. :rolleyes: I also really like Drizzt. :rolling:

8people it was for me not you. Poor Math. Just bear with the elderly boardmembers, 8people.

Anyway I was thinking the intimidation of a wemic might come in handy when trashing Tyson and Jackie Chan in the same court.

Succubus. Seductive and evil. Say I more? well, just in case, I'm such a sexy rosse. (Sorry, I feel a bit french today)

Dryad. I go for the whole earthy tree worship thing, and being elven is SO overused. And dryads are the ones that can charm males, aren't they? I think they are. Not to sound weird but that would be entirely worth it.

draconian..... made up bye the dragonlance novels... they are created by evil mages worshipping takahisis ( god of evil dragons )bye corrupting the eggs of good dragons in to humaniod shaped dragon creatures that have some of the dragonic abilities that their dragon parents had .. .

I voted tiefling, for pretty much the same reasons that Mathetais went with aasimar.

Except that they are exactly the opposite.

8people ... when I was your age, I had to walk up hill through the snow, just to open a thread like this ... and that's the way we liked it.

Sheesh, I did just have a birthday and the brain cells are dying faster than my hair is falling out (I think they're having a race). ;)

It sucks being old (and posting while multi-tasking :grin: )

That was uphill both ways in the snow, right? :grin: :spin: :roll: :lol:

Halfling here. My husband is too. All we really want to do in life is snuggle up in our cosy little home with delicious things to eat and smoke and drink. He's got a bit of gnome-ness in his quirky intelligence and high dexterity, I've got a bit of dwarf-ness in my stocky strength and obsession with beer. But overall, halfling. Also, he's a ranger and I'm a druid. :)

Dwarf. If you want a describtion of me just look in the PHB. Only I'm a bit taller.

Draconian icons are so cool!

Plus their self-destruct effects are fancy.. Go Sivaks!! (Hate bozaks the most.)

I guess I'm a gnome.
I'm small and.. and whatever other abilites they have. I like trees! They like nature, don't they?
My hair isn't curly enough for a hafling, and I'm too weak for a dwarf, so I say gnome.

I would most probably be a Thiefling, or Alu-Fiend, or something with demonic blood. I just love the idea of being partially demon! :evil:

Im glad that more draconians have appeared. and yea i agree sivaks are if not the best then the close second... Me i like the auraks ( from gold dagons) no wings but have the most abilities and their end attack.. is very good.. All their skin melts off and they go into a fighting frenzy while burning in green flames then they turn into a ball of lighting and explode.

Heh...sorry to dissapoint you... although this might come as a shock to all of you, I AM a human...

As for what I wish to be, I am very happy with who I am and what I can do now, so I've chosen 'human'...both in reality and in my dreams.

[ November 02, 2002, 23:37: Message edited by: r'Hant ]

I'd most likely be a half-elf, since I don't quite fit in, ever.
If anything though, I'd probably be an elf-dwarf hybrid...a Dwelf or an Erf... :p

And to think that this was a poll on real races! :rolleyes:

Anyway, Half Elf

I'd be Irish dwarf and i would drink beer all the time and only thing that i could say would be: "arrrgh i wash me beard in yar blood arrgh" and i would have a big beard whit beer all over it and...yep :money:

I'd be a halfling. I am short, jolly, and I'd fit in so well. Though I would be adventureous. Anyone who knows me would understand. ;)

I had to choose Alu-Fiend since people say I look like Satan (pointy goatee, tall, grim-faced, smiles look odd on me) and Alu-fiend seemed more devilish than tiefling.
