There are plenty of homebrew races out there. I am highly curious to find out what kinds of homebrew races people would want. There already is a huge variety to choose from, but there probably is something lacking somewhere. The whole purpose of this thread is to find out what people are looking for basically or feel just hasn't been done enough.
Better lithoids. AKA races made of rock, crystal, etc. And not just warforged variations, or stereotypical golems, or gem races inspired by Steven Universe (seriously, there are way too many homebrew SU gem races that just reek of lacking investment by their creators). I need something a little more creative that just saying "Ruby Race: Natural fire attack, fire resistance, blahblahblah a warrior subrace in this greater gem class system." Besides, if you're gonna make a race based off a crystal or mineral, there are far more interesting options. Like cinnabar, which is basically crystalline mercury, or lodestone, which has magnetic properties. There could also be more biological races with lithoid extensions (i.e. a race with crystal spikes or rock armor growing out of their bodies) that use these extensions in more creative ways that simply granting them resistances, or natural armor. This is just an example off the top of my head, but something like a race that naturally grows sulfurous crystals out of their skin. They can break the crystals off and use them to light fires or cause explosions.
In essence, I'd like better lithoid races with more inventive traits that tie to the actual physics of their crystal/rock bodies.

I very much like this idea as well. The magnetic properties in particular is tickling the braincells... The imagery of yanking a guy's sword out of their hands is just too good to ignore.

Yeah, like I've really wanted Groot basically

I really want a mind-flayed race. I’m currently working on a beholder race though.

Actually a Murloc race would also be pretty cool.

Yea but that’s pay for and I don’t want to play as something called a “grung” tbh. Sounds kinda sad (No offence, I’m sure they are really cool)

I could try it.

Wait never mind. I’m dirt poor and don’t like spending money on games. (Flash back of when I spent 10 dollars on robux)

I have to keep making really smart comments and stuff so I can get 100 posts and be cool. I have barely any only like 20

I also think the name is a bit odd, it doesn't affect me too much
