This is the entire list of playable races - obviously, some wouldn't make sense for this campaign (aka, horde races, being a murloc, etc). If you want a non-Core Rules book, non-Alliance race, or something that in general is just "out of the ordinary" of a race, you MUST PM me first to discuss it. I need a good background reason and explanation to know how it'll mesh into the story.

Hey guys! Excited to play this game! :) I have decided I will be playing a male draenei shaman(tbc if its a battle shaman or normal shaman). :)

Nice! Enjoy your creation process - I am sure it'll be an amazing character.

Hi, any possibility to play as Pandaren?

Yep there is! Just follow the links I added in on the top post.

Just a quick qns, which time period will this be in?

It is concurrent with WoW MMO time. Anduin is king, Teldrassil has been burned down by Sylvanas. For those not familiar with in-game lore and events, there are ways to find the info/I can direct them to links. Now while these things are happening, this may mean horde-alliance battles, but also, it's not the main focus as you are all starting at level 1. It can be a bigger monster to fight later on.

Part of me really wants to play a high elf, but I don't feel like they fit, plus the racial levels make me hesitate more. I'm leaning towards Gnome... Mage or Rogue. Still on the fence. Any suggestions or preferences?

I mostly played as Tauren, so I'm not very familiar with Alliance part :)
But as I'm partial to Pandaren, idea of traveling monk is appealing to me :)

I think either is fine. I think they included High Elves because it was made with Vanilla in mind, but it doesn't mean you can't still use them. Some of them have come out of exile, and arcane magic is now allowed by Night elves - so I don't see the issue. You were, centuries ago, once part of the night elves and may still care for them.

Gnome is fun too! We have a druid for sure, so if you want to avoid spell caster then you can - but I find either are good choices!

Sorry this didn't help much lol, I want you guys to have some freedom in your decisions.

That is fair - feel free to look at alliance history etc on WoWWiki - it's long but you really just need to skim. Pandarens are fine as long as you can make a reason that makes sense for the start I've put in another forum. Give a good reason and I'm good with it!

Please Don't Forget:

On page 121 of the PDF, there are the skill equivalents to the WoW MMO's skills, so if you want to reference/use those for your character, peek at that table!

If anyone interested, I cut the last two pages with character sheet from the rule book: https://goo.gl/YpxVrf
It's less blurry

Thank you!

The book tells us to roll 4d6, disregarding the lowest result. If you'd like us to roll in here, you're gonna have to change the settings or something because it's not letting me.

You don't need to do it here. I work on an honor system for ability rolls. I think that if people wish to have fun in the game, they can see fun in lower scores just as much as higher ones.

I used the Dice tool through the link at the top of the website and got the following: 16, 8, 15, 15, 12, 17
I know that if I roll again, they're gonna be crap. Oh well.

In that case, woohoo!

Those are some pretty decent rolls! (we won't talk about the 8... :P)

I don't mind the 8 at all if it means I have other rolls like that! ^_^
