I voted for shifter as it should be a interesting class and maybe with a shifter class but I was thinking in voting for goliath of races of stone prestige class. In d&d I was thinking to build a warrior with monkey grip so as goliath by default can wear a 2 hands weapon with 1 hand, with monkey grip could wear one weapon one size higher . The weapon would be bigger than the character itself
But, based on the races introduced in-game, I wouldn't mind Duergar, as well. We've got plenty of different types of elves, and even two different kinds of Drow, so it would be neat to have another dwarf race. (And Duergar-as-PCs has been around as long as the Barbarian class, first showing up in Unearthed Arcana.)
I'm not sure if any of these guys ever made it out of 3rd edition, but here are some of my favorite player races. (Edit 1: Okay, I figured out how to do spoilers, so that massive block of pictures should be less annoying now.)
Bakemono
Notable for being the only basic race in 3rd edition with a -8 racial penalty to intelligence.
Beguiler
Faun
Grippli
Hairy Spider
Okay, the the part where these were listed as a player race was almost certainly a typo. Since they can't speak, understand speech, or manipulate objects, and they have the mindless quality. But, come on, playable tarantulas!
Jermlain
One of the few basic races that only comes up to a halfling's waist.
Kenku
Khepri
A female-only race.
Kobold
Okay, these guys definitely made it into later editions. I don't know how they were done there, but they had some neat options in 3rd edition. For example, kobold clerics of Kurtulmak gained the ability to see and disarm traps. It would be interesting if you implemented kobolds as having the innate racial ability to see and disarm traps. Kobold rogues could get some kind of extra bonus, like seeing traps further away.
Neraphim
Unlike grippli, these guys come from a different plane. Also, they're more toad-looking than frog-looking.
Muckdweller
Another basic races that only comes up to a halfling's waist.
Nezumi
Phanaton
I'd actually forgotten about the tiny, gliding-monkey dudes, but aren't they adorable?
Shalarin
If I recall, this is the only basic race in 3rd edition that can neither breathe air, nor move around on land. I'm sure that won't be too much of a problem though.
Tiefling
These guys probably made it into later editions too. I just always liked the way this picture envisioned them.
Tortle
I was always disappointed how these guys were printed a couple months before warforged, so they didn't get to poach that built-in armor idea.
Xvart
Remember when some guy on the internet mistakenly wrote “-1” for the level adjustment of this race? And everybody thought you'd get a free level for playing one? Good times.
Oh, we do. I forgot about them, probably because I can't stand to look at the game's version.
Seriously, did you see the 3rd edition tiefling picture I posted. Cute as a button with cloven hooves and tiny little horns. I don't know why 4th edition decided to go with “super-generic devil-person” as the look for all of them.
I would like to see Race of Undead and mostly a Necromancer class
Like the good old 3rd edition necropolitan template! Of course, here you'd have to release necropolitan (human), necropolitan (elf), necropolitan (dwarf), et cetera.
That wouldn't be a bad tie-in if they ever introduce a psionic class. Certainly better than elan, whose appearance is literally “like a human, but with red hair.”
was there some kind of an invasion of dragonborns that made half of the world's races almost extinct?
Well, in 3rd edition, all dragonborn were originally born as members of another race, then got turned into dragonborn later. So yes, suddenly having dragonborn everywhere instead of the other races is very fitting.
half dragons thus renamed to steal from Elder scrolls Dragonborn
Half dragons are what happens when a dragon and literally any other creature love each other very much. Dragonborn are what happens when a human/elf/dwarf/etc. who worships Bahamut undergoes a ritual to be more like his god.
Seriously, “guy who mutilates self due to religious fanaticism” is nothing like “guy whose papa was a dragon,” and you're doing a disservice to us all by comparing them. I'd be offended if I didn't think you were simply ignorant. Actually, I'm still kind of offended.
Just because you mutilate something and change its name...well yea, its still that thing.
And just because 4th edition decided to remove everything that made dragonborn who they are and replace it with something bland and generic doesn't mean you get to **** all over the 3rd-edition writers' work by saying “dragonborn are just half-dragons.”
Keep in mind, as we've said many times, this is neither a race nor a class. Vampirism and Lycanthropy are once again afflictions that almost any race (and class) are subject to. Neverwinter "could" introduce such as a class or race, but that would go against lore and probably be something of a large debate at WotC to allow. I'd rather see such introduced in a manner like ESO did, where any race and class could contract one of the afflictions.
I would like some beast races to be added. I'd definitely play as a gnoll or kobold (assuming you update the model for player versions. I don't want my mouth hanging open 24/7).

since we already had the paladin and gf being bothers and sisters that I was thinking how they should make next the Erinyes and how they should make it the next sister to the Tiefling from Helm's Hold and if we cant have that or the hellfire magus that I wouldn't mind the next race being Aasimar or kobold since I wasn't sure how they would fit in with the dragonborn
Zeb, you go that nailed for ESO's vamps and shifters, you told them, and i had also told them. i just assume some of them were thinking of "masquarade" as part of vampyre castes or trait clans, too complex for several rpg mmos.
I think Aasimar is the only good choice right here and something we really lack in game. Why?
1) We are lacking wisdom+charisma or wisdom+strenght race. We have no race that is compatibile with clerics besides humans to be quite honest. Every other class has its "recommended" and "fitting" race besides human. And human is supposed to fit everything. Clerics need their good choice too!
2) Im sure more people will pay for a pretty race. I didnt purchuase dragonborn mainly becuase they're so damn ugly and I hear many people has this problem with them too.
Dragonborn is just sooo ugly... had me rolling! They do have a toadface. A pretty race? Like California beach bunny as a choosable race with rollerblades or anime kitsune or neko .. yeah I would buy it!
I would like to see whatever race that comes out be one that looks much more monsterous and inhuman than most of the races already avalable. I voted for the minotar though there are some things I would like to see even more. I figured it would be better to vote for the one I like the most out of that list because whatever custom ideas put fowards are not as likely to gain traction. Unless a lot of people have the same idea but I doubt it.
Here is an idea, why not release 2 races at once? Races are easy to keep balanced because they do not add a lot, unlike classes. The second race offered should probably be one that is optimal for healers.

Wow. And here I thought I was pulling out obscure races.
Oh, we do. I forgot about them, probably because I can't stand to look at the game's version.
Seriously, did you see the 3rd edition tiefling picture I posted. Cute as a button with cloven hooves and tiny little horns. I don't know why 4th edition decided to go with “super-generic devil-person” as the look for all of them.

The shinomen naga from 3rd edition were playable (with LA and RHD) and were supposed to be a closer fit to Asian lore. Did they screw those up too?

I'm not sure if it's 'safe' to reroll to a drow now...
i just assume some of them were thinking of "masquarade" as part of vampyre castes or trait clans, too complex for several rpg mmos.
Githzerai monk would be another race/class I'd love to play
Why?
1) We are lacking wisdom+charisma or wisdom+strenght race. We have no race that is compatibile with clerics besides humans to be quite honest. Every other class has its "recommended" and "fitting" race besides human. And human is supposed to fit everything. Clerics need their good choice too!

So please, please add Aasimars.
A pretty race? Like California beach bunny as a choosable race with rollerblades or anime kitsune or neko .. yeah I would buy it!
