Races
Although the term Races is rapidly going out of favour in the real world, it's still a fair term to use for the large number of different humanoid ancestries that inhabit the world of Oberon.
"Imperial" Races
The most common species of humanoid that inhabit the world of Oberon (in order of approximate population size) are as follows;
The above are all ancestries typically allowed to be used as player characters, without any comment.
"Common" Races
Additionally there are three other common humanoid ancestries that are typically reserved as NPCs:
"Uncommon" Races
The less-common humanoid species (in approximate order of population size) are;
- Goblins
- Hobgoblins
- Bugbears
- Giants
- Gnolls
- Trolls
- Saurians
- Eladrin
- Skariff
- Pixies
