A list of PC races form Dungeons & Dragons 3e and 3.5.

==3.0e Core Books==

===Player's Handbook===

None of the base races in the Player's Handbook have level adjustments or racial hit dice. Their character level and ECL are both equal to their total class levels. Their creature types and subtypes are not given in the PHB, but can be found in the relevant sections of the Monster Manual, except for humans.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - [[Manual of the Planes]]===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - [[Oriental Adventures]]===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - [[Epic Level Handbook]]===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

===2002 October - Book of Vile Darkness===

The BoVD had only two playable races, neither of which used the Level Adjustment system. They were basically just Humans and Halflings with a coat of [[edgy]] [[grimdark]] paint.

===2003 February - Savage Species===

Despite its reputation as the go-to book for making monstrous races playable, Savage Species offered only one new fully playable monster race, and reprinted three "[[you can certainly try]]" monsters. This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

=== 2003 April - Fiend Folio ===

The Fiend Folio, like the MM2, contains no creatures with PC stat blocks, but offers level adjustments for a very large number of its NPC monsters for "[[you can certainly try|easy]]" conversion into PC races.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

==3.5 Supplements==

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====[[Book of Exalted Deeds]]====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.

===Player's Handbook===

None of the base races in the Player's Handbook have level adjustments or racial hit dice. Their character level and ECL are both equal to their total class levels. Their creature types and subtypes are not given in the PHB, but can be found in the relevant sections of the Monster Manual, except for humans.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

==3.0e Supplements==

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - [[Manual of the Planes]]===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - [[Oriental Adventures]]===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - [[Epic Level Handbook]]===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

===2002 October - Book of Vile Darkness===

The BoVD had only two playable races, neither of which used the Level Adjustment system. They were basically just Humans and Halflings with a coat of [[edgy]] [[grimdark]] paint.

===2003 February - Savage Species===

Despite its reputation as the go-to book for making monstrous races playable, Savage Species offered only one new fully playable monster race, and reprinted three "[[you can certainly try]]" monsters. This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====[[Book of Exalted Deeds]]====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.

===Player's Handbook===

None of the base races in the Player's Handbook have level adjustments or racial hit dice. Their character level and ECL are both equal to their total class levels. Their creature types and subtypes are not given in the PHB, but can be found in the relevant sections of the Monster Manual, except for humans.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

==3.0e Supplements==

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - [[Manual of the Planes]]===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - [[Oriental Adventures]]===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - [[Epic Level Handbook]]===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

===2003 February - Savage Species===

Despite its reputation as the go-to book for making monstrous races playable, Savage Species offered only one new fully playable monster race, and reprinted three "[[you can certainly try]]" monsters. This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====Book of Exalted Deeds====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.

===Player's Handbook===

None of the base races in the Player's Handbook have level adjustments or racial hit dice. Their character level and ECL are both equal to their total class levels. Their creature types and subtypes are not given in the PHB, but can be found in the relevant sections of the Monster Manual, except for humans.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

==3.0e Supplements==

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - Manual of the Planes===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - [[Oriental Adventures]]===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - [[Epic Level Handbook]]===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

===2002 October - Book of Vile Darkness===

The BoVD had only two playable races, neither of which used the Level Adjustment system. They were basically just Humans and Halflings with a coat of [[edgy]] [[grimdark]] paint.

===2003 February - Savage Species===

Despite its reputation as the go-to book for making monstrous races playable, Savage Species offered only one new fully playable monster race, and reprinted three "[[you can certainly try]]" monsters. This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====Book of Exalted Deeds====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.

A list of PC races form Dungeons & Dragons 3e and 3.5.

==3.0e Core Books==

===Player's Handbook===

None of the base races in the Player's Handbook have level adjustments or racial hit dice. Their character level and ECL are both equal to their total class levels. Their creature types and subtypes are not given in the PHB, but can be found in the relevant sections of the Monster Manual, except for humans.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

==3.0e Supplements==

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - Manual of the Planes===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - Oriental Adventures===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - [[Epic Level Handbook]]===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

===2002 October - Book of Vile Darkness===

The BoVD had only two playable races, neither of which used the Level Adjustment system. They were basically just Humans and Halflings with a coat of [[edgy]] [[grimdark]] paint.

===2003 February - Savage Species===

Despite its reputation as the go-to book for making monstrous races playable, Savage Species offered only one new fully playable monster race, and reprinted three "[[you can certainly try]]" monsters. This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

=== 2003 April - Fiend Folio ===

The Fiend Folio, like the MM2, contains no creatures with PC stat blocks, but offers level adjustments for a very large number of its NPC monsters for "[[you can certainly try|easy]]" conversion into PC races.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

==3.5 Supplements==

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====Book of Exalted Deeds====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.

Mercane

2019-10-17T01:44:35Z

2602:306:B88B:FB60:182A:ADFA:751F:FA5E:

The '''Mercanes''' are a race of 12-foot-tall, blue, lawful neutral outsiders who wander around the planes and do merchant things. They appeared in Third Edition, because [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition races|fucking EVERYTHING appeared in Third Edition]]; first in the [[Manual of the Planes]] and again in the [[Epic Level Handbook]]. Mercanes speak "Abyssal, Celestial, Draconic, Infernal, and at least two other languages", and their favored class is [[Wizard]]. Mercane clerics worship [[Boccob]]. Mercanes are the founders of the City of Union, a [[Demiplane]] that attracts a lot of epic level characters and is like a safer version of [[Sigil]]

Demiplane

2019-10-17T01:42:29Z

2602:306:B88B:FB60:182A:ADFA:751F:FA5E: /* City of Union */

A '''demiplane''' is a term introduced in the [[Planescape]] setting for [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. In a nutshell, it refers to a "miniature" [[plane]], one featuring well-defined limitations as opposed to extending on to infinity in all directions, having variable gravity and time traits, etc. Demiplanes can be big - [[Sigil]] is technically a demiplane - but are usually associated with small sizes, from "big as a large room" to "the size of a mansion".

Creating demiplanes is a popular past-time for high level [[wizard]]s, as it essentially lets them create their own personalized pocket of reality. With enough time and investment, a demiplane can grow into a full-fledged world in its own right.

==List of Demiplanes==
===[[Sigil]]===
While Sigil is part of the [[Outlands]] and can be seen at the top of the spire in the center, it isn't actually possible to reach Sigil from the Outlands without using a portal and it is not considered to be a layer of the plane.

===[[Ravenloft]]===
The Ravenloft setting is sometimes called the Demiplane of Dread even though it is large enough to be a world itself. It might be more accurate to call it the Demiplane'''s''' of Dread because it consists of many Domains with their own traits that can be completely isolated from each other by the will of the Dark Powers or a domain's Dark Lord.

===[[World Serpent Inn]]===
An entire dimension that consists of nothing but a single huge inn.

===City of Union===
Union is less violent version of Sigil that attracts a lot of epic level characters. Union consists of a large number of islands connected by portals floating in a void, with the main islands of the city also held together by bridges. It was constructed by a race called the [[Mercane]]s to use as trading hub.

===Neth, the Plane That Lives===
Neth is a living and extremely intelligent demiplane. It is a 500 mile wide plane of flesh crumbled into a ball. Its only exit and entrance is a single portal that connects it to the [[Astral Plane]]. Neth is extremely curious about the universe, and is surprised that anything other than itself exists, as it cannot directly see anything outside of itself. It learns by sending out [[Flesh Golem]] like minions, interrogating people who end up inside of it, or absorbing them into itself to take their memories. Most of all, Neth wants to know why it exists as it doesn't remember its origin.

===The Observatorium===
The Observatorium is a mysterious sphere that moves around the Astral Plane. It is difficult to reach because it moves unpredictably and most of the ways to exit it can't be used to get back. It is full of strange machinery that can be used to spy on and open one way gates to anywhere in the multiverse. However, you can't say for too long because it has an effect of causing temporary wisdom loss to visitors that makes your more and more likely to accidently stumble into one of the exits.

===Common Ground===
Common Ground is a small plane where gods hold meetings with each other. Gods cannot harm each other on this plane and it supposed to be impossible for mortals to enter.

===[[Demiplane of Nightmares]]===
Where the [[Plane of Dreams]] meets the [[Ethereal Plane]] and the [[Far Realm]].

==Edition History==
===1st Edition===
The concept of demiplanes has been around since the earliest days of the game, but it was mostly an example of DM fiat in creating pocket dimensions for all kinds of crazy adventures. Examples include the original Ravenloft module (I6), Dungeonland (EX1) and its sequel The Land Beyond The Magic Mirror (EX2). There's really nothing substantial about these places, just the vague notion that they are created by powerful (usually long-lost) magical techniques.

===2nd Edition===
In the early days of 2nd edition, demiplanes still remained a DM tool; adventures like Isle of the Ape (WG6) continued in the same vein as the prior edition.

All that changed with Planescape. In The Planewalker's Handbook, ''demiplane seed'' was available as an 8th-level spell to mages. That book, and A Guide To The Ethereal Plane established that these "minor" demiplanes had to be created on the Ethereal Plane (probably because it was considered something of a proto-reality plane). The process was pretty arduous, involving a pretty pricey gemstone and 100 days of spellcasting and other work, but otherwise, it did what it said on the box: you created your very own demiplane to fill with traps, treasure, whatever you felt you needed to keep up with.

There was also a 9th-level spell called ''demiplane decay'' that could destroy demiplanes under specific conditions, but it was pretty horrible overall; anyone who couldn't plane-hop out of the place was dissolved with the rest of the plane in the very end.

Special "major" demiplanes were beyond the scope of any mortal magic and were mainly the province of divine-level beings.

===3rd Edition===
Demiplanes made a definite comeback, but there was a lot of weird stuff throughout the edition. The first appearance was in the 3.0 Manual of the Planes: the Planeshifter prestige class gained access to the ability demiplane seed at 10th level.

The next mention of making demiplanes was in the Epic Level Handbook, under the ''genesis'' 9th-level spell, available only to wizards or clerics with the Creation domain (until the domain was reworked in 3.5). It was costly at 5,000 XP and a week's casting time (8 hours/day), but you didn't have to take some arbitrary class to get to it; it still had to be done on the Ethereal Plane as in 2nd edition.

In 3.5, ''genesis'' was also made a 9th-level psionic power, restricted to Shaper psions, who got it for a much less stringent 1,000 XP and could be created on the Astral Plane.

Oddly, there is one final source for creating a demiplane: the 9th-level general cleric spell ''Word of Genesis'', which had a truename component (basically, you had to buy ranks of a specific unique skill and pass a check at DC 50; yeah, it was about as [[Skub|well-written]] as the rest of the Truenamer section).

It should be noted that you don't really have to use such powerful magic to get yourself a little pocket dimension, at least temporarily. Rope trick has long been regarded as an infinitely useful "rest area" spell in dungeons, and ''Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion'' is even better, giving access to plenty of food and space for various tasks (along with a very long duration at the time you get access to it). In fact, there is a somewhat obscure reference in Complete Scoundrel to a permanent ''mansion'' effect (the headquarters of the Blind Tower criminal organization); given that the ''permanency'' spell even mentions that you can research certain spells to be made permanent, and that it costs a pretty pinch of XP to make any high-level spell permanent, it's not a far-fetched notion for a DM to approve such a thing. But there is a downside: the thing can be dispelled, causing all the contents - and guests - to spill out of it, so be advised.

===Pathfinder===
When [[Pathfinder]] was a 3.5 setting it added the Genesis spell, which was pretty much the psionic power of the same name as a spell, exclusive to Clerics of the Artifice domain. When Pathfinder became a setting, it ignored all off the previous methods, even though all three were OGL, and even created a new version of the artifice domain without Genesis in the core rulebook.

This would be rectified in Ultimate Magic. Printed in that book was the spell Create Demiplane alongside its lesser and greater variants. Demiplanes now come online much earlier than they did before, requiring only 7th level spells and a cheap focus to create. On the downside, a demiplane now has a limited duration unless you cast permanency it, ensuring only Wizards and Clerics of an obscure subdomain get access to permanent ones. You are also limited to what traits you can select for your plane, so some of the cheese is off limits.

===5th Edition===
Yeah, they're still around, if bit neutered. You can still create a demiplane with the apparently named ''Demiplane'', an 8th Level Conjuration spell that opens a spooky door to your brand new demiplane!... An empty 30ft. x 30ft. x 30ft. room made of stone or wood. Yeah... But anything placed inside (including creatures) remain inside the room indefinitely, even when the spell ends and the door vanishes. So... not exactly [[Mordenkainen]]'s place, but it's serviceable if you need a decent-sized off-plane hidey-hole. Oh, AND if you know of another demiplane's existence and makeup, you can get into it by using ''Demiplane'' or ''Planes Shift'' and pull an 'All your... modest studio apartment... are belong to us!'

==Demiplanes For Fun And Profit==
Even as early as 2nd edition, one can use a demiplane for all kinds of fun stuff.

The most basic use is to make your own private homestead or farm: the bottom of the demiplane is the ground, the top is the "sky". Give it a nice, moderate temperature good for crops and livestock, normal day/night cycle, basically the most ordinary environment you can. You want access to spells like ''control weather'' and ''plant growth'' to kickstart your first few years of crops, but if you keep careful control of the demiplane's environment, you automatically bypass several problems farmers contend with: various diseases and blights, pests/vermin, poor weather, natural disasters, etc.

Another option is to run a big ol' business out of the place. This is a great option in big cities where real estate is at a premium. Buy a small, cheap property, and install portals going to the demiplane where you put in all your manufacturing or services for your business. Now, most folks know this option is how a lot of wizards run their wizard towers, where the outside is smaller than the inside, but don't let yourself be limited to that old cliche. Imagine a little shack that runs the city's biggest tavern, inn, brothel, and casino, a vast pleasure palace.

All of this is enhanced with additional magic to provide labor and resources. For example, if you can summon up a djinn, even for just a short time, you can create permanent plant-based materials; while this stuff could theoretically be dispelled (a nuance that comes up in 3rd edition), that still means you can conjure up firewood, which by itself is a big fucking deal. (Why? Because you don't have to chop down trees for it now. This curtails a lot of effort to acquire fuel, as well as making a LOT of side folks like druids, elves, and sylvan creatures happy that you aren't cutting down their forests.) You can use ''permanent image'' to create decorations; in 2nd edition, these are difficult to change, but in 3rd edition the caster can change them at will, allowing for redecorating for special occasions.

Throw in some choice magic items, constructs, and other permanent effects, and you have a real piece of work to call home. Best part is, this provides a luxurious place for your favorite NPCs to come hang their hat. Any cohorts, followers, and loyal hirelings can be given room and board, either for some work on your behalf, or possibly even just to spend the rest of their days enjoying life.

Now, before you get super excited to try any of this, note that all this falls on the DM to approve of, and some may not want to bother with the whole thing. Having said that, if you are a DM, then this is a pretty good way to motivate your players to go on adventures to acquire the treasure needed to pay for all this kind of stuff. Nothing like a spare dragon hoard to fund the ultimate retirement plan, after all.

The most attractive feature of the demiplane is the fact that it's damn hard to find out about. All but the most powerful divination effects can't cross planar borders. Only a few effects can take you there (unless there's a portal somewhere); you can theoretically wander the Ethereal or Astral Planes looking for curtains/pools that lead to the right demiplane, but even if you find one, the chances you found the correct path to the correct demiplane are worse than the chances of a "good" result of using a ''rod of wonder''. Security like that is at a premium at the higher levels, and can be stacked with other effects to make it even better.

Dat lucky blue grot from the [[Scraplootas]].[[Image:1343700573073.jpg|thumb|250px|Dat grot'z got hipz!]] [[Blue Goblin|Blues are also a race of goblins from D&D, click this think for them]]
== The Story of Blue on /tg/ ==
A [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/20106572/ very shitty thread] was posted on /tg/, about a cultural exchange with the Tau where they send a Tau Girl over in exchange for- Oh fuck it, who cares, it was a terrible opening. Cue a lot of generic fetish comments, and that sort of thing.

One poster wondered what would happen if the [[Ork]]s were the ones to be a part of this exchange, and things spiraled out from there. People posted little stories of how they thought it might go, and a name was coined - Blue. The idea gained traction as the thread went on, and eventually ended up with a vaguely fleshed out character, one with drawings as well. The rest of the threads can be found [http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Blue here], though you'll need to scroll down a bit.

== The story of Blue in the universe ==
During Warboss Urtylug's raid of a tau colony, the tau were falling back and at one point abandoning a small colony on a satellite world. Orks of the [[Scraplootas]] clan were raiding the colony, looking for a cloak befitting a warboss (he was looking to loot the Ethereal's) and taking advantage of a chance to show off their Titan, Boris.

Raised an orphan and accidentally abandoned by her caretakers during the mayhem, a young Tau girl was left alone in her habitation block. The Orks didn't even notice her, looking for a proper fight, but some Snotlings and Gretchin eager to steal her hiding place decided to gang up on her.

She then proceeded to pick up her tau spanner and kick, punch and wallop her way into a corner, fighting off all the Snotlings and Gretchin in her way. Just at the right time, Big Mek Tinka Zizzbitz came to kick all the Snotlings upside the head for forcing him to do his own heavy lifting, indirectly saving the young tau girl. Mistaking her for a blue Grot, and noticing she already had a wrench, he picked her up and told her to get back to work.

Thanks to her earth caste upbringing she had a rudimentary knowledge of machines and mechanics, and her ability to help the Mekboys inventions work made her a utility to the Orks (although really Zizzbitz just thought that she was a lucky charm due to her blueness and enjoyed her willingness to do his work for him).

Now the Ork Big Mek keeps her close and acts to protect her (at least telling other Orks to shove off), while she herself has an added ability to kick some of the smaller Orks/Grots upside the head if they do cause her trouble.

Her ability to add dakka and her understanding of tau technology is also a boon to the orks and "Da Blue Grot" has become somewhat of an endearing name for her.

She has a pet of sorts, a squig who flies around in a small drone. Showing off her very Orky imagination, she named him "Mr Squig". He buzzes around her, bumping into things often, hungrily chasing grots, and being a general nuisance.

Also of note is the Tau spanner she has kept since she was picked up by the Orks. It is a sentimental memento regarding her unknown parents as much as it is a personal lucky charm, which she believes is more effective than any others she has used. Regardless of whether it is or isn't, it holds value to her. She is seldom seen without it.

She builds better than grots, she's smarter than grots, Tau warriors think twice about shooting at any trukk she's riding and she's blue so she's lucky. The Scraplootas really picked a good 'un.

==Anecdotes of "Da Blue Grot"==

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition races

2019-10-17T01:35:33Z

2602:306:B88B:FB60:182A:ADFA:751F:FA5E: /* 2004 April - Expanded Psionics Handbook */

A list of PC races form Dungeons & Dragons 3e and 3.5.

==3.0e Core Books==

===Player's Handbook===

None of the base races in the Player's Handbook have level adjustments or racial hit dice. Their character level and ECL are both equal to their total class levels. Their creature types and subtypes are not given in the PHB, but can be found in the relevant sections of the Monster Manual, except for humans.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

==3.0e Supplements==

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - Manual of the Planes===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - Oriental Adventures===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - Epic Level Handbook===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

===2003 February - Savage Species===

Despite its reputation as the go-to book for making monstrous races playable, Savage Species offered only one new fully playable monster race, and reprinted three "[[you can certainly try]]" monsters. This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

=== 2003 April - Fiend Folio ===

The Fiend Folio, like the MM2, contains no creatures with PC stat blocks, but offers level adjustments for a very large number of its NPC monsters for "[[you can certainly try|easy]]" conversion into PC races.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

==3.5 Supplements==

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====Book of Exalted Deeds====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.

The planar Handbook includes several "Monster Classes". These are not the same things as races and are therefore not included in the table. However, you are free to make a page dedicated to D&D Third Edition Monster Classes and put them there.

===Dungeon Master's Guide===

The DMG offers no canon playable races. It does provide a "half-human" and a "gold dwarf", but only as examples of homebrewed races in Chapter Two, which is dedicated exclusively to variant, alternate, and homebrewed rules.

===3.0e Monster Manual I===

When D&D 3.0 was first launched, the terms "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level" did not exist. Instead, there was a "Level Equivalent" system, which functioned much like ECL except that it did not affect the amount of experience required to level up. As a result, while a Tiefling or Aasimar would have to start at level 1 in a party of otherwise level 2 players, this level gap would quickly evaporate, leaving high-LE characters at a long-term advantage. It was also common, in the beginning, for monster races to have most of their stats printed in one book while their LEs or LAs would be printed in a separate book, because WotC was using massive amounts of drugs at the time and had no idea what they were doing, which also explains the [[Magic: The Gathering]] Sixth Edition rules. The following monster races had their Level Equivalents printed in the DMG and all of their other stats printed in the Monster Manual. Subraces such as Duergar, Drow, and Svirfneblins were not given level equivalents and thus remained unplayable.

===2001 June - Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting===

The FRCS replaced the old "Level Equivalent" system with "Level Adjustment" and "Effective Character Level", wherein characters would level up at a rate that was appropriate for their character's overall power, rather than just their class levels. This prevented races with level adjustments from rapidly becoming too powerful as they gained experience. None of the playable races had racial hit dice, and none of the monsters had level adjustments for adapting them into playable races, so no creature had both racial hit dice and a level adjustment. The setting's Shield Dwarf and Moon Elf are functionally identical to the Hill Dwarf and High Elf from the core books.

===2001 August - Manual of the Planes===

MotP was the first non-core book to experiment with giving Level Equivalents to NPC monsters. It did so for six of them. It provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

=== 2001 October - Oriental Adventures===

Oriental Adventures was the first book to mix fully playable races with [[you can certainly try|pseudo-playable]] monsters whose level adjustments would be given in a single table far away from all the other monster stats. The same table also provided level adjustments for a bunch of monsters from the Monster Manual I who had already gotten such a table in the DMG, because everyone at WotC was abusing massive amounts of [[heroin]] during this time period. They have been excluded here. Several playable races from the PHB got tweaks as well. ''OA'', like the ''Manual of the Planes'', provided a definition of level adjustment that seemed to include RHD, yet some of the level adjustments that it gave were lower than the RHD of their associated races, implying that LA did ''not'' include RHD.

===2002 July - Epic Level Handbook===

The Epic Level handbook was a pile of jibbering nonsense in which some monsters had level adjustments in the ''negative twenties''. The only monster in the book that would be considered playable by an even remotely sane person was the [[Mercane]].

This was the first book in which "Level Adjustment" ''definitely'' had its current meaning, in which levels from racial hit dice are considered a separate thing and not included in LA.

==3.5e Core books==

===3.5e Monster Manual I===

The 3.5e revision of the Monster Manual included full PC stat blocks for a fuckton of its subraces and monsters, making it a huge improvement over the 3.0 MM1 and MM2. About twice as many monsters only got level adjustments, and, in another huge improvement over the 3.0 core books, those LAs were incorporated into their NPC stat blocks instead of being shoved off into a table in the DMG. For the sake of brevity, only races with full PC stat blocks will be included from now on.

==3.5 Supplements==

=== 2003 August - Dragonlance Campaign Setting ===

Dragonlance was notable for not giving two shits about what stats any race had in any other setting. It knocked minotaurs down from a race with 6 RHD and a +2 level adjustment to having zero of both, which was all kinds of fuckawesome for people who wanted to play as minotaurs in low-level campaigns, and also made up its own stats for gnomes, half-ogres, and [[God-Emperor]] knows what else.

=== 2003 October ===

The next time someone asks you about Third Edition's release cycle, just remember that WotC once published three books in a single month.

====Book of Exalted Deeds====

BoED only had one fully playable race, but it gave us a bunch of Archons and Guardinals and Eladrins and shit as NPCs with level adjustments who are just too cool to leave out. The Bariaur here is referred to as simply "Bariaur" in BoED, but the Planar Handbook clarifies that this version of the Bariaur is more properly referred to as the "Exalted Bariaur", and that simply "Bariaur" should be reserved for the Bariaur in the Planar Handbook and Manual of the Planes. No advice was offered on the Dragonlance Minotaur situation.
