Index of Races

This is a simple index of player character races in Dungeons and Dragons (version 3.5), grouped by source and then sorted alphabetically, with each entry hyperlinked to the page for that race.

Player’s Handbook (version 3.5)

This is the single exception to the alphabetizing promised above: humans go first as the basis of comparison for all other races.
