D&D General 5.5 PHB Species Options

[Scribe]

I am absolutely shocked Human is in the lead. I didn't think so many people would want to play human characters in a fantasy game if given the choice.

I voted Gnome, Goliath, and Halfling.

If it included motm, then Halfling might lose out to Shadar-Kai “Elf”, but then again I mostly use a homebrew version that isn’t an elf.

My first 5E character was a human fighter so I get it, but I'm surprised it's THAT far ahead of everything else. Then again starting with two Feats is pretty big even if they're limited to Oregano Feats.

Yeah but if you use the optional rule to start at level 3, it’s only 1 level until you can take a basil feat.

The poll is spoiled now!

I really liked the previous goliath version more.

Here's one of the old Polls.

D&D 5E (2014) Thread 'What are your (up to 3) favorite character races? - Wizards Survey Duplication'

Nov 3, 2021

Just curious what this would reflect here, as I doubt we get the final numbers from Wizards large survey.

Up to 3! I copied right off the Survey, dont think I missed anything.

I picked human, aasimar, and tiefling. If allowed a forth, I'd pick elf.

Goliath rounds out the top 4, interesting.

Mechanically strong lots of options.

Feels like they ate Genasi lunch a bit and took on the elemental vibe with the Giant types as well.

That's not a long thyme in most campaigns, but still, the human would have 3 to your 2. It's their provençal
