Not too keen on playing humanoids, but if I had the CK's permission and was in the mood? Hmm... maybe I'd play an eldritch goblin or a Hlobane orc.

Quick and nimble with a nasty bite.. not sure what that is just yet. I've played a ranger reincarnated as a lizardman (folk) long ago. Would not mind a troll, but would have to play an Illusionist or a Paladin Troll, or Ogre Mage Monk???

Since its 20,000 I suggest "Captain Nemo" as his title. Beyond the obvious connection, he is one who sails on his own terms and ignores those he doesn't agree with...confident in his journey and goals.

A lawful good, aqua ogre mage flying around invisible and then surprising a lawful evil ogre mage with a blast of cone of cold!

I once played a kobold witch doctor (necromancer). Yap. Yap gooood kobold, yes yap is. (igor voice) Yap cure headache, yes yap do. Need a bit of arsenic and belladona and... Oh those were some fun times.

When I went to give Pathfinder Society a try, I was saddened that goblins weren't allowed.

I played a half-hobgoblin one time, and I quite enjoyed the novelty.

Duergar would be cool too I'd think.

I always wanted to play a boggle from the original Fiend Folio.

Got a player running a duergar right now. Unfortunately, he’s just playing him like every other character he plays.

Something mundane like a hobgoblin or a bit goofy like a Pegasaur (flying Centaur).

I played a Deep Gnome back in the days of 1E. You know, the write up in UA? I played him as an Illusionist. He was so OP even I agreed to just turn him into a normal gnome.

Well Deep Gnomes were very OP in that book even worse than Drow and Duergar.

Humans, would be my 2nd choice!

They are the most evil and destructive species on Earth (as Penny reminds me)!

Nasty bastards that should be killed to save the planet!
