When considering humanoid races for your favored enemy, what races if any are grouped together? In ARPG, the Hunter talent serves a similar capacity, and there are a few groupings – dwarf (dwarfs and gnomes), elorii, man (human, val, and dark-kin), and giant (voie and other giant-kin, not sure if that includes true giants that would have the giant type in 5e).
So do we pick “man” and gain the near-human races? Dark-kin is separate in the example, but are humans and val close enough to be the same for Favored Enemy? Or are all races different, which is why we get two humanoid choices?
March 30, 2018 at 7:14 am #276239frootsnaxParticipantI also was confused by this question.
But I don’t think the A:RPG is necessarily a definitive source of answers. Perhaps a useful or persuasive source, but given the differences in the systems & the possible different balancing acts I don’t think we can just say: well in A:RPG we do it this way…
Would love some clarity myself.
Personally i think val & humans fold together. And gnomes fold together with dwarves. I am a lot more hesitant to fold the Kio or Undir into anyone (except maybe each other).

So not use ARG as a guide.. 5e is 5e…
April 11, 2018 at 10:14 pm #276263AnonymousInactiveOk, but you still didn’t answer the question. My reference to ARPG wasn’t a “guide”, it was a precedent for you treating the human-blooded races as identical for the purposes of favored enemy-style rules before.
May 14, 2018 at 5:47 pm #276335AnonymousInactiveI suggest you don’t look at ARG for any rules references for 5e
when we worked the 5e rules set we kept to the 5e philosophy as much as we could.
