I just saw the new MM2 races which were included in the latest version of DDI character builder (Bullywug, Duergar, and Kenku). I'm curious if there are any plans to include these in either a future character creation guide as legal for all LFR players, as a character creation rewards card, or in a future publication (like the PHB3).

Come to think of it, I'm curious if other races in the DDI char builder (Bugbear, Doppelganger, Githyanki, Githzerai, etc.) will ever be LFR legal in any way, shape or form.

Well apparently the Gith will be in PHB3, making them legal at that point.

Those decisions are out of the hands of anyone who posts on these boards. So you'll just have to wait and see. I wouldn't be surprised if something shows up as a rewards card in the future (probably not the Bullywug... but I could be wrong).

Also, Dopplegangers will likely be with the Eberron setting since they have been "toned down" to be the Changelings from that setting. I also expect the PHB3 to have both Gith races.

If Warforged are in the Player's Guide to Eberron, will that make them legal for LFR?

I think it toggles and they all become illegal. :P

Show up at the summer cons, and you might see one of them on a Rewards card.

Warforged are already LFR legal. So that's a non issue.

Clearly, you haven't hung around these guys long enough to get the joke.

Not a tribe, an Adventuring Company. ;)

Adventuring Company: Running Joke

Membership requirements:
1) Player must have posted a question as to whether Warforged, Minotaurs, Dhampyrs or other races/feats published in a compiled issue of Dragon are LFR legal.
2) PC must be a member of the race or have taken the feat.
3) If'n you can get enough PCs together for a table, you get a group action point...

See, I would make requirement 1 be: Player must have posted a question on whether Warforged are legal in LFR in response to a question over the legality of an item from Dragon magazine. Usually in the form of "This is great and all but what we really need to know is... are Warforged legal in LFR?"

You also need Superior Thread Proficiency: SLFRT

Yes, I've told the joke a few times and have yet to play any of those races. I demand to be a member of that adventuring company anyway.

(hmm...a reason for a hat of disguise...)

Slightly off topic, but last LFR event I went to, I was at a table where the party was a Drow Warlock, Minotaur Warden, Dragonborn cleric, Warforged Avenger, and my own Gnoll Wizard.

Not one single "normal" race in the party.

Well Normal? Drow are LFR player's handbook, if you want to call them non-normal so are humans then, and dragonborn are PHB and their presence in FR is explained to satisfaction.

I'm not sure how we can define "normal" in these situations.

By normal i think he meant human, elf, dwarf, halfling. Perhaps "classic races" would have been better.

I ran a mod in which the party was composed of a tiefling, a deva, a warforged and 2 half-orcs. I told them they were a motley crew of adventurers.

The party I ran for yesterday consisted of a tiefling wizard, goliath paladin, dragonborn warlock and longtooth shifter cleric.

Talk about motley...

Saturday I played and I forget the makeup of our first table, the second table was a Halfling, a Mintaur, Gnoll and Orc, I was only watching or I'd have probably had either my half elf or warforged added in... And yes, they were doing Dale 1-2 =P

So exactly how many humans were there at Living Greyhawk and Living City tables? Humans always have been relatively rare at the gaming table.

I never played LG but in my history of gaming, which isn't as long as some out there, but does span 26 years Humans have always been rare when other choices were available.

I played LG, and all my characters were human. Every one of them. I did have some strange friends, though. ;)

Do you mean In game or Out? (or just both)

I never played a human in LG under 3.5, but I play mostly humans in LFR with 4E. Usually being a cleric, and wanting the heaviest armor and shield I can get; the added human feat is a necessity for me.

But, you are right humans were a rarity in LG around my area.

I only played LC for about the last year or so of that campaign, and played with a fairly small group, but I'd say that humans were the majority of PCs I saw there.

I played quite a bit of LG,though largely in my own region (Verbobonc). Humans may not have been a majority, but I think they were the single most-frequently-seen race.

In my LFR experience (again, still fairly limited), human PCs have been in a very noticeable minority. I haven't seen too many "monster" races, but an awful lot of elves, eladrin, and dragonborn.

No dwarves? I think that dwarves and genasi are actually the most common races in my local area.

I've got:

1.) Lazam Stringer, Halfling Bravura Warlord (of Awesome)
2.) Lucretia Silverburg, Ealadrin Pursuant Avenger (of Chesus)
3.) Ashleigh "Ash" Blackfang, LT Shifter Warden (Yes, THAT Ash.)
4.) Donnar, Deva Druid.

I don't often play to type.

Very few. I'd guess that, between playing and DMing, I've seen over 100 PCs, and I don't think there's been more than 6 to 8 dwarves in that.

My 'toons':

1) Melchior, Human Wizard
2) Starkanien, Dwarf Battlerager
3) Gorvoc, Half-Orc Druid

Melchior is the only one above level 1.

Starkanien tends to die a lot, based solely on playing in mods with enemy ranged strikers.

Gorvoc...is fun. He tends toward the comic relief, though. In one adventure, one NPC remarked how Gorvoc and his minotaur friend seemed frightening. He replied, "Gorvoc know what you mean. Gorvoc scared of Russian women selling sea salt. Very hard to escape with gold intact."

Anachronism has always been part of the Realms, right?
