What is your Favorite fantasy race and why?

Mine has to be dwarves, because, they're funny as hell, strong, magic resistant, like the mountains, can drink, and most often carry a nice sized Battle axe.

Drow. The closest thing to humans there are (yes, even more than fantasy humans :D )

That's a tough question. There are many settings for fantasy stories/games and each has slight to major differences in the races that occupy it.

In general I would say Dwarves, because usually their culture is inspired on ancient Celtic or Germanic culture, and I'm really interested in both.

And I hold a love for outcasts from evil races, for example in the Forgotten Realms setting I instantly like all good-aligned Drow, Duergar or (Half-)Orcs. Individuals that overcome their society's inherent malice.

I totally agree with you. Dwarves are my favoyrite race for the same reasons.

Elves, (yeah I like drow too.) because they always seem to know what's going on, and love to tell you in some sort of riddle.

DROW - because of their lifespan, I can write plenty of stories/adventures! and they were rarely seen on the surface. :3

I like Drow too. The only thing I dislike is the females' general resentment towards males. I was outraged while playing BG II. But I like the way they look and act. They're my favourite all right ;)

Thats a tough one...I like all of them for idffrent reasons.

Humans cause they are so flexiable

Elfs becasue of there finness

Dwarfs cause of the same reasons of J'aran

Gnomes cause there funny [img]smile.gif[/img]

Halflings cause there fun to play

Half-orcs cause you can kick ass with them

I like the Elves because of everything that makez them elves :D

I like elves because they epitomize everything I value in battle. They are graceful, agile and quick. They tend to rely more on speed than strength. They are crack shots with longbows,(my favorite weapon), and are great with longswords and spears. They excel at magic and weapon craft. They are very in-touch with the earth yet set apart from its inhabitants giving them a sense of mystery. The pointy ears and large eyes are a very attractive element too. I like tolkein elves more than DnD because they are typically taller than the average human yet of slimmer build.
