Next expansion race idea.

For the next expansion, I would like to see this.

Race Lizardmen, or the new form Lizardfolk.

Base race, Made around unarmed combat, introduce a new universal tree "brawler" or have it good for handwraps monks.

Iconic race, Have it dps sword (small shield or buckler) and board, limit armor to leather or none, have it where you can take both single weapon and shield feats together. Maybe add a new item just for Lizardmen in place of armor, like the docent for warforged.

Since the first idea is for an unarmed brawler, the Iconic would be a Lancener (based on the Lizardfolk from Borderland), they use Quarterstaff as a Lance, damage instead of blugdeon turns to Piercing and reach to long (throwing the lance)/medium (poking with) range.

incorporeal. 100% miss boost. melee with roll to avoid instant death on vorpal. 25% random teleport when hit.

Be grateful SSG haven't created a reaper with these qualities 👍 :)

(though it would make a very nice R11 reaper...)

Iconic Kobold Shaman
High evasion from Bouncy Stance (you jump around like you have a pogo stick shoved up your backside.)
High Electric damage from Zeus Boost (You channel god like power in the form a lightening bolts so at level 5 you one-shot level 10's)
High Intimidate (cause Kobold still hates you)

I really would like an int race that's suited to a weapon based build like Hobgoblin, every time I feel like playing a wiz ek, vile chemist or an artificer I just decide to play a different build when I get to the race options.

At the moment strength has Half Orcs, Razorclaws and Aasimar/scourge who all work really well and wood elf and regular shifter are reasonably good in strength builds (I really can't count dragonborn, that racial tree is entirely catered to casters).

Dex has pretty much the most racial options in the game - tabaxi, halfling, shadarkai, shifter and 3 flavors of elf.

Int pretty much has sun elf which isn't a great tree or base class for an int build, gnome/deep gnome who are very much casters and drow who are rather point limited.

Wisdom is pretty much Aasimar/scourge, Shifter and Deep Gnome, I'd really like to see another wisdom option too.

Charisma is pretty much up there with Dex in terms of overall support - Dragonborn, Tiefling, Scoundrel and Drow as raw cha races, Aasimar getting solid cha options, PDK who despite not having bonus charisma is designed to scale with charisma.

New race idea: NONE!

We have plenty already and there is no need for any more, especially when there are still so many bugs in the code.

Eh. Bugs are a feature at this point. The sun will have incinerated the planet and all of those who abide on it long before every bug is cleaned up.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Not every developer is a generalist. Some specialize in different things. It's unreasonable to expect SSG to dedicate *all* of their resources to bug swatting.

On top of that, if they *could* dedicate all their resources to fixing bugs, we wouldn't get anything new for many months. Players would get bored and leave.

Every update there is a laundry list of fixed bugs. They are working on it.

Now, personally, I got one of my wishes with tabaxi. However, I'd be thrilled if they found a way to incorporate changeling into the game. Problem is, they're more of an rp than combat focused race. Would be a lot of work to put them in.

My vote would be for Githyanki. Given recent mindflayers storylines it fits in nicely. Forgotten realms lore is they are survivors of a long enslavement from mindflayers in the Astral-Plane.

They get a bump to both strength and int so for people looking for another int race they would be a option but the racial past life could still be str since right now it the only stat that you can only get +1 too from racial feats.
