Arelith

There are plenty of interesting UD award races, but essentially no interesting surface ones now that fey have been removed to a major award. We have Forest Gnome which is really mechanically the same as a gnome with a wild elf benefit of no tracks/-track/rp and wild dwarf which is thankfully quite a bit different from a regular dwarf.

That's it.

Everything else is tied to major award which allows you to play essentially anything - why be an aasimar or fey if you could ask to play a half celestial or dryad or some such?

So to add some more race ideas:

Fetchling - a creature native to the shadow plane, looks like a very pale human

Shadowswyft - Similar idea to the Fetchling, although more elfen, they are still humanoid

Chaotic Only
+2 Dex, -2 Con

We're soon going to add more award races for surface, but as we intend to keep rotating the options every few months, some of these might be worthwhile for future addition. Approved.
