Careless Whisper Playable Races

Common Races

Changelings

The changelings of Eberron are an enigmatic race of shapeshifters. Descended from doppelgangers and, presumably, humans, changelings have evolved into their own separate race, distinct from either heritage. Their ability to completely change their appearance at will lends them the potential to be consummate spies and criminals, and many changelings live up to that image.

While open changeling communities are quite rare, changelings themselves are spread out and fairly common in the Five Nations. So much so, that it is often standard practice for other people to associate themselves with a signature piece of jewelry or article of clothing—something distinctive enough to identify themselves as who they are, since changelings can’t mimic clothing and accessories.

Changelings adventurers come from a variety of backgrounds: They might be running from a criminal past, pursuing revenge, or seeking spiritual perfection through the use of their shapeshifting abilities. Some may be adventurers simply due to a lack of other palatable options: Changelings not inclined toward stealth or crime find their race's stereotype working against them.

Dwarves

Dwarves are a common sight to the citizens of Khorvaire, but whether they were raised amongst the cities of the Five Nations or the stone keeps of the Mror Holds, their attitude can be summed up as such: Iron and Gold.

Most dwarves, even those not in the dragonmarked House Kundarak, are preoccupied with displays of wealth. Dwarves are completely capable of falling in love with objects and are more likely to do so the flashier and more valuable they are.

In Eberron, the most likely subraces to be encountered are the Hill Dwarf and the Mark of Warding subrace. Hill dwarves represent the vast majority of the dwarven population of Khorvaire, while dwarves of the dragonmarked Kundarak lineage lucky enough to manifest a mark gain the Mark of Warding.

The Mountain Dwarf subrace is exceptionally rare in Eberron, as the dwarves are not especially known for their amazing prowess in battle. A Mountain Dwarf character is likely to be the most naturally gifted warrior to come from the Mror Holds in generations.
