Editing Greyhawk (section)

===Races===
As the Player's Guide to Oerik reminds readers repeatedly, Greyhawk Rebooted is set in the Flaeness, traditional stronghold of humanity and the [[demihuman]]s in a world where those races and certain monstrous humanoids (namely [[orc]]s, [[goblinoid]]s, [[gnoll]]s and [[drow]]) have a centuries long history of conflict. You're not ''restricted'' to only playing humans, gnomes, elves, dwarves and halflings, but some races ''are'' (or at least ''should be'') off the table unless the DM is playing a non-standard campaign and other races will be regarded as freaks and weirdoes, though they should be able to prove themselves as heroes in a way similar to what [[Ravenloft]] intended with the [[Outcast Rating]] mechanic.

Despite this, the Player's Guide to Oerik arguably leaned on the side of inclusivity, and the PC racial options are quite diverse. Any race with the ''Exotic/Monstrous'' tag, as mentioned before, suffers Disadvantage on Charisma checks unless interacting with their own people or people who know them well.

[[Aasimar]]: Found almost exclusively in the Celestial Empire. Unchanged.

[[Aarakocra]]: Exotic race. They get a custom statblock: +2 Dexterity, +1 Wisdom, Medium, 25 feet speed, Flight 50 feet (can't fly whilst wearing medium or heavy armor, can fight and use objects whilst flying), Eagle Eyed (Advantage on visual Perception checks) and Hollow Bones (damage sustained whilst grappling is an automatic Critical Hit).
* They also get a subrace; the '''Stryx''' are humanoid vultures (compared to the parrot/eagle-like aarakocra) native to the mountain ranges of Western Oerik. Necrophages and raiders, they are despised in their homeland and unknown oddities in the Flaeness. Their stats are +2 Constitution, Medium, 25 feet speed, Flight 30 ft (can't fly whilst wearing medium or heavy armor, can only use talons to attack whilst flying), Eagle Eyed and Hollow Bones, Talons (can unarmed strike for 1d4 + Str mod Slashing), Beak (can unarmed strike for 1d6 + Str mod Piercing, target must pass a DC (8+your Proficiency bonus) Con save or be Poisoned) and Talk to Birds (can verbally communicate with birds).

They get their own custom stat block: +2 Strength, +1 Wisdom, Medium, Speed 40 feet, Charge In (after using the Dash action and moving at least 20 feet, make a melee attack as a bonus action), Hooves (you can make an unarmed strike the does 1d6 + Str modifier Bludgeoning damage, suffer Disadvantage on Stealth checks when walking on hard surfaces), Equine Build (+1 size category for carrying, pushing and dragging, climbing costs +5 feet of movement, Medium or smaller creatures can ride on your back if they don't have Powerful Build), Survivor (Proficiency in Survival, Advantage on Survival checks in plains, steppes and savannahs), and Hybrid Nature (Humanoid and Monstrosity).

[[Half-Orc]]: Exotic/Monstrous Race. Known locally as ''Demi-Euroz''. 

[[Half-Elf]]: Known locally as ''Demi-Olven''.

[[Dragonborn]]: Created 2000 years ago during the ancient Demon Wars of Western Oerik; [[Tiamat]] and [[Bahamut]] agreed to sacrifice the life essences of their draconic children to create humanoid dragons as super soldiers to turn the tides against the forces of Chaos. They exist only in Western Oerik and Hepmonland, and even then, only the Metallic Dragonborn; the Chromatics vanished after the completion of the Dragon Wall. Exotic/Monstrous race, Metallic lineages only.

[[Dwarf]]: Known locally as ''Dwur''. Only four local subraces are playable; ''Hoydar-Dwur'' (Hill Dwarves), ''Fjelldar-Dwur'' (Mountain Dwarves), ''Bwan-Dur'' (Wild Dwarves) and [[Korobokkuru]].

[[Firbolg]]: Exotic/Monstrous Race. Statwise, they're almost identical to the standard 5e firbolg, but they replace Hidden Step with Giant Warriors (proficient in spear, club and greatclub, always use 2-handed damage value for Versatile weapons).

[[Gith]]: Whilst technically an extraplanar race, in the Greyhawk Rebooted canon, the Gith actually originated on Oerth - specifically, in the empire of Zarum in Western Oerik, before it was conquered by the [[illithid]]s. Also, [[githyanki]] played a significant part in the Priestess Wars of the [[drow]] city of Erelhei-Cinlu. Exotic/Monstrous Race.

[[Goliath]]: Exotic/Monstrous Race. 

[[Halfling]]s: Known locally as the ''Hobniz''. They gain a new core racial trait called Gourmande (free Proficiency in Cooking Utensils), rename the Lightfoot subrace to Harfoot, and gain a new subrace in the Tallfellows (+1 Wisdom, Fey Ancestry - Advantage on saves vs. Charmed, immune to magical sleep).

[[Human]]s: All of the major ethnicities of Oerik are represented, and because Greyhawk Rebooted stands proud on its old-school roots, it rejects the modern taboo against offering distinct mechanics for specific ethnicities. You can't take the Variant Human option in a Greyhawk Rebooted campaign; you can either be a "mixed blood" (standard human), representing the cheerfully indifferent modern Oerthian whose blood is a melting pot of many ethnicities and who doesn't cling to a distinct ancestral identity, or play a relatively "pure blooded" individual who ''does'' try to embrace their cultural identity, and so gets a unique set of racial traits and ability modifiers.

[[Kenku]]: Exotic/Monstrous Race.

[[Loxodon]]: One of the [[beastfolk]] races bred as super-soldiers and then adminstrators by the ancient Suel Imperium during its conquest of Zahindi. Exotic/Monstrous Race.
