I vote against any suggestion that causes my eyes to stop focusing. :P

Or: please. A short name. XD

You have reminded me I have a seven hour drive at least sometime this weekend. D:

okay i went through Tvtropes and the D&D Wiki i found something called A "Faelcuvyn" which are a 40 Feet tall female evil fey fire giants (for more here is a link dandwiki.com/wiki/Faelcuvyn_(3.5e_Crea.. ) then on Tvtropes i found it not a race from a fantasy but it is an actual lizard its called a "Teiidae" that are an all-female lizard his is made due to parthenogenesis induced by sexual stimulation. Yep, hot girl on girl action producing babies. How wicked can nature not be? then apparently There are also lizard species that require sperm to reproduce, so they seduce males of other species.

@Billsomething

Gonna point out that anything from dandwiki that does not have SRD: in the URL is 'someone came along and edited this into the homebrew section', and it's 90% abysmal crap.

Not really sure of the relevance of lizard parthenogenetic weirdness,though.

And the problem with having an aggressive race that relies upon other species to reproduce.

Diet: fish. Whatever animals can eat the plants that are in their place (which I'd probably make a peninsula so they've actually got neighbours, though Viking raids from an island could be interesting...). Fungi as the all-purpose replacement for anything but meat or dairy...

... and a Varangian guard of dark elves. :O

Oh, and 2E AD&D, healing spells were under necromancy (not Cure Disease or Cure Poison, oddly enough, but Slow Poison is and Cure X Wounds). I think the positive stuff was moved out of it in 3.5, I think they were still necromancy rather than Transmutation in 3.

Generally, D&D undead work out as evil because negative energy is more or less the antithesis of all life. Aside from liches, most undead exist because of either being murdered by some other type, sheer hatred, or a necromancer decided they'd be useful. Because of what they are, the mindless ones are not the biggest fan of 'living things'. Plus living people tend to not appreciate walking corpses that attack and eat them.

Well, the anime was amazing... but it's nearly 5:30 in the morning. I'll get back to this tomorrow.

What about centaurs? They could resemble the Tatars and the Mongols with some Turk influence in terms of culture.

@Blubaron45

Er, someone else already mentioned having an idea. Would be nice to hear them out first.

... plus you've basically just said 'centaurs as steppe nomads', given where all those ethnic groups started.

So, the high elves with the disciplined, professional heavy infantry-focused army, and then the humans with much less discipline (and far less lifespan to gather experience) improving on what they managed to learn by making up for it with, say, horses? And of course the nice armour.
