Right. The rules don't say any species are more rare than others. So don't design a setting in a way that forces players to contort... -

The head of Candlekeep is Janusi - a human. There is a dragonborn First Reader, that's true. Doesn't actually ever appear in any of...

Part of that issue is that D&D is crap at onboarding new players in the Lore of D&D. D&D has no fixed world to explain the world with...

The setting is a nexus Demi-plane that draws from all worlds. The setting is very old where the entire civilization is completely...

So, in the place the PCs are likely to be from, a significant few of the PC species options are rare? yeah, this is why 5.5E needs a...

Let's be honest here. Dragonborn and Tieflings were noted as "rare" in the 5.0 PHB because they had 4e cooties. It had ZERO to do with...

And yet, every D&D setting makes PHB species choices common. Funny that.

The rarity of a species depends entirely on setting. Obviously Dragonborn are common in a Dragonborn-only setting. 5.5 is setting...

What makes you think a PHB race is rare? But... hang on... I'm confused. Dragonborn are rare, but have towns where ever I feel the...

Agreed, that's too flat. That said, and this is where lack of granularity rears its ugly head, I prefer there always be a tiny chance...

5E has a pretty narrow scope for its mechanical implementation. So while you can do courtly intrigue or romantasy, the system does not...

No. I really, really can't. What dragonborn community is within a hundred miles of Phandelver? Saltmarsh? The Free City of Greyhawk...
