Alphabet of Races
« on: May 19, 2013, 10:07:26 PM »
I was struck by the inexplicable urge to write this. 

A is for asherati, melting in the rain
B is for buoman, dwelling on the astral plane
C is for changeling, hiding in plain sight
D is for dragonborn, fighting the good fight
E is for elan, gingers with powers of the mind
F is for faun, who are not clothing-inclined
G is for grippli, frog-men, believe it or not
H is for hellbred, because redemption is worth a shot
I is for illumian, they're so very well-read
J is for jermlain; β€œit's how you use it,” he said
K is for killoren, avenging the whales
L is for lupin, chasing their tails
M is for muckdweller, spitting in enemies' eyes
N is for nezumi, living in veritable pigsties
O is for ooze para-genasi, always met with a gagging sound
P is for phanaton; have you seen Bullwinkle around?
Q is for quasit, the only β€œQ” race I found
R is for raptoran; only losers walk on the ground
S is for shalarin; good luck on land
T is for tortle, whose adolescent ninjas are grand
U is for underfolk, through the dark depths they sneak
V is for vril, loosing an ear-splitting shriek
W is for warforged, who come with a money-back guarantee
X is for xvart; no, you don't gain levels for free
Y is for yak folk, masters of d'jinn
Z is for zenythri, so purple of skin

Bravo.  Not a single standard race even.
