D&D 5E E's 5E Tomb of Annihilation (ooc)

You could play a Yuan-ti, there are some you will most likely run into during the adventure, so it could lead to some interesting role playing. Also in the Port we start out in there will be a lot of people that would not be accepting of a Yuan-ti in town. (The last part is my assumption since I haven’t read the adventure yet.)

Shadar-kai aren't in 5e yet, unless you're refluffing something. Unless you're thinking a third party/homebrew thing (I have looked them up before for a home game). But yes, yuan-ti are in Chult. Purebloods can pass as human, though, if you don't look too closely.

And Hexblade could cover the face role.

E did say he would entertain "unofficial" stuff.

Hadn't seen that before. Not sure I like it (not that it matters). I came up on 4e, so Shadar-kai aren't elves to me. And while I love the Raven Queen, this ties them to her way too much to be of use in a FR adventure. She isn't a thing in Faerun. Otherwise it looks fine.

I skipped 4e. Are these Shadar-kai just an offshoot of Eladrin? I only ask since their "thing" seems to be fey step.

I also find it odd having a second deity based elven offshoot: Lolth for drow and The Raven Queen for these. Are elves predisposed to being warped by deities?

This is an angle I was considering as a Shadar Kai. take the noble background, and argue with the drow that your house was not a rival to the houses that sided with Loth, it remained neutral and sided with the raven queen. Worse comes to worse, it could have been an interesting bluff

I am looking at running a Hill Dwarf Barbarian with the Bear Totem Path for a Tank Character.

Then I can take care of the traps and stealth/sneak, and we should be covered. I'll build a halfling thief/rogue. I'm kind of wanting to try out those new halfling racial feats in Xanathar's. Not to mention being able to Hide behind bigs!
