SlashTHEM adds 9 races to the 5 from vanilla (dwarf, elf, human, gnome, orc) and another 5 from its grandparent SLASH'EM (doppelgänger, drow, hobbit, lycanthrope, vampire), namely clockwork automata, ghouls, giants, illithids, incantifiers, kobolds, nymphs, ogres and trolls, for a total of 19.

Their possible alignments are as follows: clockwork automata are always neutral, illithids, ogres, trolls and ghouls are chaotic, nymphs and kobolds can be neutral or chaotic, and giants and incantifiers can be any alignment.
