Re: Dwarves, Elves and Hobbits Need Not Apply!
I've always thought that centaurs, satyrs, nymphs, etc., would make for interesting character races. Note that I use race to denote physical form rather than culture. In my furry-non-human campaign, the furred folk were part of the human culture they shared territory with, but, like any underclass, had their own culture as well (think of the upper and lower classes in England or master-slave relations in other cultures). Rats from the Italian peninsula had a different culture than the rats from England or Arabia, and so on.
