[QUOTE="EzekielRaiden, post: 8616862, member: 6790260"] Formally, you'd have seen Mountain Dwarves for all Strength classes, and Half-Elves for pretty much all other classes, especially if they're Cha based. A few variant tieflings and yuan-ti and such, and of course Variant Human. And...yeah that's not really a thing. Dwarves of all stripes pretty quickly fell out of the top 5 if they'd ever been there to begin with. Elf and human have remained up there, but we've seen short-term surges of things like goliath, half-orc, etc. And dragonborn, one of the [I]weakest[/I] races in the 5e PHB, slowly climbed up to overtaking tiefling--and their rise of popularity [I]completely predates[/I] both Tasha's AND the updated Fizban's options. Honestly, I don't expect things to change too much. Dragonborn being split into three subraces will cause them to [I]appear[/I] to fall in favor, but collectively they'll hold their own or possibly even cement their position. The top 3 (if you lump subraces together) will still be Human, Elf, and Half-Elf, either in that order or in Human, Half-Elf, Elf. [/QUOTE]
