What Unconventional Race Have You Played?

At various times in our past, various players in our PF games have been an Endroth, a Cat-Man, a Lizard Mage, a Ramen, a Dragon Wolf, a Draakin, an Avian, a Ratling, and probably a couple others I'm not thinking of. Early on, especially, we were big on trying crazy stuff and new styles. What we never once did was have some boring old-school party of humans, elves, and dwarves, based on classic fantasy stereotypes. I hate those groups.

My current group consists of a Minotaur (which was on your list) and a Dragon Wolf, as well as an Ashada and a Daemonyc (that's one of my creations, been posted here). I'm the only one playing a standard race, human, but it's a Forsaken Mage, making it unique anyways!

One of the most unique characters I've ever had played in my groups was a Hytril. The guy named it Kiani and made her a thief. One of the funniest, most memorable characters I think I've ever had in game. I've since used her as an NPC since the guy was in my group in the Army and I've since lost touch with him. Max, if you're out there... Kiani lives!!

I was a Bug Bear once, I had a collar in town with some fake magical symbols on it and the Wizard in the group acted like my owner.

We have a Minotaur (played by a player who refuses to ever play anything else lol), A human were wolf, an elf, a dwarf, and another elf who the player would like to play as a certain dark skinned elf from a popular comic series not to be mentioned lol and once my time as GM end I shall be starting as a Maledon. I like playing new things.

This new Maledon will be a Mind Mage who has no idea he has the psionic powers. He will only use them in a fit of rage during battle which he won't remember due to a black out during the rage lol. I think it will be a very fun character to play. A fairly strong fist fighting machine with a secret weapon that's only a secret to him lol

Not quite in my mind. Quillbacks take second place to Danzi, but not by much.

Soldier of Od · Sun May 15, 2011 12:46 pm

The only race not on your list that I have played was a lizardman. I made him a thief O.C.C. on the basis that due to racial prejudice in the lands of the humans he was unable to make a living for himself and was reduced to stealing. For some reason, as I played him the thievery just never felt right with that character, and so eventually I went straight, having managed to find employment on a ship, and changed my O.C.C. to sailor.

I have really come to like simvan monster riders but I noticed their description, and if they use magic (not important to me on this point), are left out of both Lone Star and Mindworks.
