I love playing sub-optimal characters.

I once played a dwarf bard (under 3.5E rules, no less) who was a metal enthusiast in every sense of the word. When he was in town he was usually hard at work at the forge, crafting weapons for the party out of iron and steel. But when he was on an adventure, he dressed like a member of GWAR, played a drop-D guitar, used his cantrips to create pyrotechnics...

Sure, I had a penalty to Charisma. Big deal, I also had a blast.

Something like this.

Not sure I can picture what a dragonborn or genasi bard looks like, but OK otherwise.
Dragonborn Bard - Rhogar was the assistant to a senior officer in the army of Neverwinter, blowing the bagpipe to carry the legates orders to the unit. Then the barbarians came and slaughtered the unit. Rhogar lived only because the legate commanded that he flee to bring word of the units loss back to Neverwinter. Despite this he still feels shame at having "abandoned" their unit. Rhogar still fights to help those who cannot help themselves, but has little patience for the abstract ideas that send cities to war.

Halfings are still gonna a core race no matter how low their Beyond numbers are. 4E removed Halfings from the first PHB due to "low approval numbers" and we all know how well that was received.

It only seemed like 4E removed halflings, since they turned them into dreadlocked riverfolk. Which is a pretty cool schtick, but not what traditional halfling fans were expecting, to put it mildly.
