There's a general consensus that the typical D&D races (Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Gnome and such) are gonna be in straight out of the box for 5e. But what about the odder ones, like Warforged, Shardminds, Dragonborn and Thri-Keen? Which ones do you think should make the cut to be playable from 5e's start? That's the question that this poll is designed to ask, and what it will ultimately reveal to WOTC when it is done.

Some rules: You can only pick four races as your choices, all monsters are fair game; including the ones that normally don't have PC stats like Myconids (Which a friend of mine really wants) or Mind Flayers, and a "New abberant race" is also a viable choice given how common a mention it was on the "What new races do you want in 5e" topic.

HOOVED tieflings (yes, the HOOVED part is important)

Aberrant race (I'm partial to neogi or daelkyr mongrels)

I think D&D core should play to its traditional fantasy roots, so I'm going to say "none of them"

Dragonborn- I have actually gone into quite a bit of work creating a well thought out cool place in my regular setting for these guys, sort of an expy of the ancient Greek civilization. loosing them would be a major bummer for me.  Also the concept of dragon people is one that really excites a lot of people especially new players.

Warforged- What can I say construct races are friggen cool.

Some sort of plant race-  more specificaly a plant race whose focus is being a plant race.  the plant races we have seen so far have been plant race + something else, also they haven't really looked like walking plants.

Aberrant race (esp. if a daelkyr half-blood).  I miss symbionts and grafts.

Goblins / kobolds, tieflings, and something akin to dragonborn. But I'd prefer a name like draconians or dragonmen.

Tieflings (going back to the 3.X design, I thought the 4E redesign looked badass at first but nowadays I think it's kind of derpy)

Warforged

Dragonborn

Deva
