Hi guys I just had three ideas for some new player races to be made for Neverwinter, and want to put them out there. Hope to see some of the community ideas as well!
Dragonborn- This race seems to be by far one of the most unique races out there in DnD and would spice things up a bit.
Assiamar- We have Tieflings why not their opposite the celestial blooded Assiamars?
Gnomes-basic DnD race, have no clue why they didn't make it into the Player's Handbook at the beginning of 4E but it would be nice to see these little tricksters make their way into Neverwinter.
If you're interested in discussing New Classes, check out The "New Class(es) Feedback" Thread, now with its own poll too!

Especially if we got a new necromancer class or something like that.
However, I can totally get behind having Dragonborn as a race. They're in the main player's handbook after all, and data mining has shown that we already have the basis for them ingame. We just need models and similar stuff.
So guess we won't be having them sadly, at least for a while.
Gnomes are a bit meh, but that's just my opinion.
Dragonborn could work but they are a bit too far from humanoid shape, meaning there wil be a lot of clipping issues, even worse than tieflings have it.
Diva's/Assimar (same race just renamed) Are probably the best bet to be honest.
Edit: or just throw in more elf races.. I mean, we only have 6 different flavours of elf. -_-
They were included in the 2nd player's handbook as a playable race.

As for Shadar-Kai, the vast, vast majority of them are evil, but not all of them. Adventurers are mean to be exceptional individuals, after all, else we wouldn't have so many tieflings running around, as they're not exactly a common race.
This.
Then I'd summon all my undead companions as I ride my Reanimated (Decaying) Horse around.
It would be EPIC.
(However, Warlock will be the next-best thing, theme-wise).
Just for your information, the dragonborn race was in the game files during closed beta. So it's probably being worked on. No one knows if and when it's going to be released.
Well... we have some hope then.
We could also have Devas and Catfolk. for instance.
I think they should have all the core races playable before starting with the rest though.
I agree, we have Eladrin(Moon Elves, Sun elves), so that leaves Dragonborn and Gnomes left.
Only race from the first player's handbook we are missing are Dragonborn.
From the 2nd player's handbook, we have half-orcs. Gnomes and Devas are also both in the 2nd player's handbook. Also in there are goliaths and shifters. There are also the Genasi from the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Though the only issue with them is their elemental manifestation which would require several versions of them in Neverwinter.
. . . Additionally, we need the various sub-races for the Dwarves as well and are still missing the Green/Wild Elf. Currently, we have Sun, Moon, Wood, and Drow. I doubt we'll see aquatic elves or avariel, but they would be neat too! Also, expand the half-elves to include the sub-races, for they do differ in appearance and with the 1/2 drow especially.
. . . Here's a breakdown of 4th edition races and classes:
Classes:
PHB1: Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Ranger, Paladin, Warlock, Warlord, and Wizard.
PHB2: Avenger, Bard, Barbarian, Druid, Invoker, Shaman, Sorcerer, and Warden.
PHB3: Ardent, Battlemind, Monk, Psion, Runepriest, and Seeker (PHB3 also introduces hybrid classes for Artificer, Ardent, Avenger, Barbarian, Bard, Battlemind, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Invoker, Monk, Paladin, Psion, Ranger, Rogue, Runepriest, Seeker, Shaman, Sorcerer, Swordmage, Warden, Warlock, Warlord, and Wizard).
NWCS: Swordmage, Warlock, and Spellscarred.
Races:
PHB1: Dragonborn, Dwarf, Eladrin, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Human, and Tiefling.
PHB2: Deva, Gnome, Goliath, Half-Orc, and Shifter.
PHB3: Githzerai, Minotaur, Sharmind, and Wilden.
FRPG: Drow, Genasi, Dragonborn, Dwarf, Eladrin, Elf, Half-Elf, Halfling, Human, and Tiefling.
NWCS: (Racial Variants) Dwarf, Eladrin, and Elf.
All this information comes from my own 4e Rulebooks and not from Wikis. These are Core Rulebooks and not Supplements.
Key:
PHB1 = 4e Player's Handbook: Arcane, Divine, and Martial Heroes
PHB2 = 4e Player's Handbook 2: Primal, Arcane, and Divine Heroes
PHB3 = 4e Player's Handbook 3: Psionic, Divine, and Primal Heroes
FRPG = 4e Forgotten Realms Player's Guide
NWCS = 4e Neverwinter Campaign Setting

the dopplegangers could be very interesting aswell, but changelings would be more doable but maybe not make the stealth of a rogue longer maybe they have an active ability where they choose a certain enemy and become them for a few minutes something like that maybe
Well, that'd either have to be done through something similar to the boon system or as an individual race (ala WoW's Worgen). Anything else and you're likely shooting yourself in the foot, because anybody who's anybody goes out to get it.
Would be a fun race to play, but having a lot of Revenants running around ( a race that can't procreate by the way) may seem a little absurb.
More absurd than people trapped inside cubes or people riding ghost mounts in the main social hub and having birds on fire flying around? :rolleyes:
I would add to this a few sources from 3rd edition Forgotten realms. "Races of Faerun" is a rich source with many interesting and highly viable races(and also of note these races still exist in forgotten realms and did not magically disappear with 4th ). Of particular note is the Feyri race, a elf subrace that is part succubus. effecivly this race is 3/4 sun elf 1/4 succubus. Elf with bat wings and demon tail. Very cool ,and would make an excellent addition to the Neverwinter selection. Many other FR player races exist in this source.
i don't mention assimars or devas, i think the game is alreaddy filled with "pretty races"
it's elite "undead" race with different interesting abilities which can have great animation)
do you agree, mm?)
