D&D 5E Where does the Goliath rank among the race rankings?

[Slit518]

Somewhere out there somebody did some math, ranking some racial attributes to a given race comparing it to other races.

If I recall correctly I think the Dwarf and the Variant Human were on top, but I could be wrong.

It would be nice if somebody could find this list, and I would appreciate it very much.

But comparing mathematically, how does the Goliath compare to these races -

1. Human
2. Variant Human
3. Elf
4. Dwarf
5. Gnome
6. Halfling
7. Half-Orc
8. Half-Elf
9. Dragonborn
10. Tiefling

I don't understand the importance of ranking races.

I am going to use this data to see how a Goliath sub-race would compare.

Like for example if the base Goliath race is considered weaker than the Drow Elf, or Mountain Dwarf, or whichever races, I can base sub-race ideas around that.

To create a character or a subrace?

Sub-races.

Half-Elf and Variant human are typically considered the strongest races. Mountain Dwarf is up there too.

Half-Orc and Goliath are both tier 1 choices for Str builds with Half-Orcs generally getting the nod. I really like Goliaths though and have played a Goliath Barbarian as well as a Goliath Tempest Cleric. Both a lot of fun and mechanically strong. Good racial bonuses.

Halflings are a fan favorite.

I also like the races that give +2 Dex and +1 to Wis like Wood Elf and Aarakocra.

I have not got to play a Lizardfolk yet but they seem really strong. Will play a Lizardfolk Monk one of these days.

Do you mean this?

Head and shoulders above most others..

Yes, it could be that exact one, or something similar.

However, the Goliath isn't on there. I assume it was made when 5e first came out.

That's no problem. It gives you the math for how to calculate the value of any race.
