Turbine announced today, April 1, that the new playable broccoli race is soon coming to Dungeons & Dragons Online! Why play as a dwarf or half-elf when you can take on the form of a vegetable? Here's what you'll get as broccoli:

• Increased hit points!
• Racial bonuses to Charisma and Constitution!
• Naturally occurring resistances against cold spells, zombies, and cold and flu!
• Special vegetable-only abilities and attacks!
• A special Looking for Group emote: /lfb!
• and more!

You'll also be able to take the battle straight to other vegetables in the upcoming "Rise of the Side Salad" adventure pack and enjoy the frozen food-themed Risia Ice Games. Watching an army of broccoli run around in-game could quite possibly be the best thing ever.
