what's the point in making new races at all when all of the core fantasy races fulfill all of the roles you could ever need?

It smells of magical realm fetish shit to me at least.

What are your thoughts?

"roles" of tank, party healer, rogue, etc is canser by desighn. Its ok for dungeon crawler, but not every fucking fantasy rpg must be a dungeon crawl.

Because I want a race of bipedal moths as the "wise and mystical" people instead of elves.

>>48435479
Because they're boring and overused.

Yes, and?

I really don't see a problem with it most of the time.

Unless its a kitsune or neko. That shit is cancer and the players tend to be as well.

I like Goliaths better than orcs. They can carry more shit push and drag heavier objects and in older editions they can use over sized weapons. It's not magical realm or fetish shit they are just more useful.

Why bother even designing new races at all right?
Just make humans with different bonuses.
That way you can enjoy the combat without all those silly details.
Get rid of this stupid roleplaying thing while you're at it too.

I suppose you're going to try to make me lift rocks IRL to RP Strength tests, right?
