Message: <blockquote data-quote="tetrasodium" data-source="post: 8130020" data-attributes="member: 93670">Tasha's introduced the ability to swap racial +N stat bumps for some other stat among other things to radically change which races can work for what classes.  skillA for skillB, armor or simple weapon  for Simple/martial weapon or tool, Martial weapon for Simple/martial weapon or tool, & toolA for toolB are useful sure, but none of those things are likely to make anyone suddenly decide race:class combo is suddenly  great.   Missing from that list are cantrips, presumably because eldritch blast shouldn't be a cantripBy default mountain dwarf gives +2 con, poison resist, darkvision, battleaxe, handaxe, throwing hammer, and warhammer proficient, +2 strength, light & medium armor proficient. The weapons are fairly useless to a caster so convert to an easy 4 maybe 5 skills depending on if you can convert darkvision to a skill or not, two different +2 ability scores,  along with light/medium armor proficiency most casters other than cleric will lack one or both of.There are a few races that give a cantrip or some limited one off spells that are rarely top shelf spells  & having spell slots doesn't mean you can use those slots on those spells.  The dragonmark races add a bunch of spells to your class's spell list but you still need to learn/prepare them normally keeping them from really competing.  What it really makes obvious is the lack of things like brutal critical/relentless endurance  or even bugbear's reach level transformative racial stuff for casters.  Goblin fury of the small could be awesome but exempts itself with1/long resAnything that I'm missing?</blockquote>
