Playable races for Pathfinder


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion

Sovereign Court

What are either official or third party races that are playable for Pathfinder. Im not worried about Society games. Its for personal use.

Im looking for something different. I have the core races and the ones from the monster books. Are there any others??


There are always psionic races. Or you can build your own with this.

Silver Crusade

First few that come to mind for 3PP:

Cerulean Sea has a LOT of aquatic/amphibious races.

Races of Obsidian Twilight has some that may be suitable for a Dark Sun-ish setting as well.

Psionics Unleashed revisits the open source psionic-flavored races and introduces a new one, the Ophidians(near-human snake people).

On official races, the Bestiaries and the Inner Sea Guide introduce a lot of 0-level races: Tieflings and aasimar again, the genie-kin: Ifrit, Undine, Sylph, and Oread, shadow-touched Fetchlings, half-vampire Dhampir, I think the winged Strix may be 0-level but I'm not certain, Gillmen(which in Golarion come with some extremely restrictive flavor not all players will be happy with), and a few others I believe.

I did check that out but didnt find what I was looking for.

Thanks everyone for their input.

In addition to the core and Bestiary races, from Paizo, you can find the the Suli, from Qadira: Gateway to the East and the Gillman and the Strix, from the Inner Sea World Guide.

Classic Monsters Revisited has some options for Kobolds and Goblins that might make them a bit more interesting than the Bestiary versions.
