Other subraces

I noticed that some people control goblins and kobolds. Yet when I asked to control a gnoll, I was denied due to the fact that they were not an avalible subrace.

I ask what is up with that?? Kobolds and Goblins are not listed as avalible subraces! What are all the avalible subraces avalible? I would like to portray something unique like an Illithid or a gnoll or something else....A beholder (j/k) :wink: or an undead :)

Kobolds and Goblins are playable, along with other such suitable subraces as Drow, Duergar and Svirfneblin.

Gnolls and Undead are not supported, and you will not be approved for Illithids or Beholders.

And I don't recommend wanting something special for the sake of having it. Only apply for something if it is an interesting idea and the subrace is a hook to the character. Don't go looking for playable Illithids because you just want one and have no clue as to why.

Goblins/Kobolds are listed on the forum thread regarding what you can apply for. Their absence on the actual website is something that will be rectified eventually -- if someone wants to put together a little jpg/stat list/description blurb in the form of the other subraces we have there that would be appreciated.
