Wizards recently published a list of flexible for several races that did not previously have them. Available as a PDF to everyone, not just subscribers, from http://wizards.com/DnD/Article.aspx?x=dnd/drag/201103abilities

We finally get two options for Int/Con: Genasi unsurprisingly, and Warforged of all things. I, for one, welcome our new robotic swordmage overlords. :smallbiggrin:

That's awesome. Doesn't really affect anything in my group, but good to know for rerolls.

Very good. Though, on the downside, humans suck even more in comparison to everyone else now.

Yes. But, am I the only one who thinks HE is too similar to the Elven Accuracy and Deva Memory abilities?

No complaining; Heroic Effort is far and away the best racial in the game (well, Memory of a Thousand Lifetimes possibly excepted), and is a ridiculously powerful addition to those classes which lack an exceptionally strong 3rd at-will choice (most of them).

And where is that from? I don't think if I have that book.

I think Humans were in both Fallen Lands and Forgotten Kingdoms, actually.

Yes they are in both.

I mean where the racial power was initially introduced.

Well the power is in both books but it was introduced in Heroes of the Forgotten Lands due to it being put out a few months before the other book.

Partly right. Heroes of the Fallen Lands.

Why does it matter?

It's the same in both of them, word for word.

It doesn't, I'm simply explaining what I meant.

Title is partly misleading: they haven't released most of the "monster" races like Kobold & Goblin.
