Races you hate?

[Faptor]

For me its a tie between gnomes and halflings.
I absolutely hate those 2 races. The only gnome I could tolerate was Regill from Pathfinder WotR because he would rather slowly die than be a kooky, silly, zany moron.

Its weird. I cant quite put my finger on why I hate them so much because im not against comic relief or silly characters, I just really hate gnomes and halflings. I cant take them seriously and their attempts at humour just breeds contempt.

Elves usually suck also.. Dwarfs can be ayite. Im fine with pretty much everything else.


Do you guys have any races that are basically kill on sight?

Sounds racist

Sir. Im going to kindly ask you to leave and not come back.
jkjkjk makes sense.

I never got why anyone would want to tangle with demons and stuff. You know they are just waiting to turn on you the second your guard is down so why bother in the first place?

I love my undead bros, though. Necromancy seems like the magic "I win" button in every situation.
Need a big army?
Need a few more years of life?
Need your enemys to have less years of life?
Need someone to listen about your day and be a faithful shoulder to cry on?
Necromancy has it all covered...except the horrific smell.

Im sorta shocked to see all the human haters.

I don't, unfortunatly, nowadays there alot of people who hate themselves.

Don't think disliking humans in DnD is a recent thing, or some deep philosophical thing. Humans tend to be seen as the most vanilla and boring race across most fantasy settings.

I think that's been the case for almost as long as other playable races started being a thing in games.

much rather play a straight human white male 2 handed sword user than some convoluted awkward ugly clunky looking monster type race with obscure spells

That's the great thing about choice. Though not sure what spells have to do with it. Usually races only get a few minor spells as a benefit, if any. rest is up to class usually.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a spider.

im looking at you tiefling necromancers & druids

[JordanU]

Do Mindflayers count?

Any race that never shuts up about how bad they have it. I ain't got time for that. Gimme proud elves and stubborn dwarves over tieflings who won't stop whining about how everyone hates them.

[Moa Rider]

Batarians. The Reapers did us a favor by rendering them an endangered species.

[Lazydrones]

Humans - those asshats just ruin everything good in the world

[Madmarcus OO]

Outsider in two cultures stories don't really interest me so I've never liked half elves, half orcs, tiefling or drow but I can't say I hate them.

I do hate the trend of having tons of player races available. I prefer to keep it to three - six with a few different cultures / subraces. That way everyone can avoid defaulting into the planet of hats trope.

I don't hate any of the races. I'm not particularly fond of gnomes or halflings, but I don't hate them. My least favorite race is dragonborn purely because they weren't part of D&D when I started playing, or for most of the first quarter-century I played the game. They just don't fit the implied setting I have in my head. Tieflings don't bother me the same way despite also being a recent race because they fit into the existing fiction for me in a way that dragonborn didn't.

I'm not a fan of gnomes and halflings that are just resized humans.

Those who are a bit more unique, I.E. BG3 deep gnomes, I'm ok with. I actually liked quite a lot to play a deep gnome wizard some patches back, and being really good in stealth makes sense considering their size, coloration (specially in rocky areas) and the fact that they must avoid aggression/slavery from Duegar.
