Races of X
The Races of X were a series of splatbooks for Dungeons & Dragons 3e. As their name suggests, each book in the series examines a select group of races centered around a common theme, with extensive cultural writeups of the more prominent races and smaller sections on lesser races, alongside new feats, spells, gods and other crunchy bits.
Races of Ansalon
Races of Ansalon is a splatbook examinning the many, many races indigenous to the Dragonlance setting. Divided into race-focused chapters, each contains a brief history, common traits, an extended writeup of the different subraces, a guideline to the race's status in the various eras of Krynn's history, and race-based alternative class features. Individual chapters may house other segments as well.
The Humans chapter divides the myriad human cultures into two categories; Civilized and Nomadic. It also features a subchapter on Ithin'Carthians, the bizarre foreign human-offshoot race first introduced as the Tarmaks, or "Brutes", in the Age of Mortals splatbook.
The Dwarves chapter covers all four species of Krynnish dwarf - Hill, Mountain, Dark and Gully - and also covers the Half-Dwarf race. It features the unique subchapter, "The Golden Hammers", which covers the elite fighting force of the dwarves and comes with a membership prestige class.
The Elves chapter mirrors the Dwarf chapter; it covers all five elf races (Kagonesti, Qualinesti, Silvanesti, Dargonesti and Dimernesti, or Wilder Elves, Wood Elves, High Elves, Deep Elves and Shoal Elves), and the Half-Elf race. It features the unique subchapter, "The Kirath", which represents the elite scouting organization of the Silvanesti and v
The Gnomes chapter, lof course, focuses on the infamous Tinker Gnomes of Krynn, including their "Mad Gnome" and Wild Gnome cousins and their Half-Gnome progeny. It features a new prestige class, the Gnomish Tinker, and also rules for building Gnomish Contraptions.
The Goblins chapter covers all three Goblinoid species native to Krynn; standard goblins, bugbears and hobgoblins, as well as Half-Goblins and the Sikk'et Hul Freedom Fighters faction.
The Kender chapter covers all three branches of the family; True, Afflicted and Half-Kender. It also features three kender racial prestige clases - Belladonna's Eyes, the Nightstalker and the Handler - and rules for rummaging into a kender's pouches and seeing what turns up.
The Minotaurs chapter covers both the true minotaurs and the more savage Thoradorian Minotaurs. It also has rules on belonging to a Minotaur Legion.
The Ogres chapter is quite large; in addition to full PC writeups for ogres, Half-Ogres and Irda, it also examines the other branches of the Krynnish ogre family tree - the Athach, the Ettin, the Giant, the Hag, the Ogre Mage and the Troll - and covers the Ogre Slaver prestige class.
The final chapter, titled simply "Other Races" is a grabbag of lesser races - Centaurs, Kyrie, Phaethons, Thanoi and Ursoi - as well as the Elder Phaethon Prestige Class, alternate class features for the aforementioned races, and a general listing of feats, armor, weapons, gear & special items, magic items and artifacts connected to the various races.
