D&D General Friday Fun: What Are Your Top 3 Playable Species

[Reynard]

This is kobold erasure.

Added. Despite my misgivings.

 

[Tonguez]

This is kobold erasure.

We can only hope

 

[Corinnguard]

Kobolds as juvenile Dragonborn one skip away from a growth spurt.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

We can only hope

You will be first against the booby-trapped wall when the revolution comes.

Such a hard choice. I love so many of them. Dragonborns, Thri-kreen, Kenku, Tortles, Kobolds, Yuan-ti (though mine are far more snake like), Aarakocra, Lizardfolk, Tabaxi...

Plus actual dragons were added to the list too...

How can I pick just three of them?

 

[Scribe]

Uh oh. Warforged is slipping and boring old Tielflings are climbing.

 

[Lanefan]

Figuring (correctly, it seems) that others would cover Human, it's Elf-Dwarf-Hobbit (a.k.a. Halfling) for me.

Had I two more votes they'd have gone to Half-Elf and Human, two more after that would cover Half-Orc and (reluctantly) Gnome, and the rest can all go do what they're best at: be monsters for the killin'.

 

[Seramus]

Elf, Tiefling, Goblin.

All incredibly flexible and able to be portrayed in countless entertaining ways, while still being more interesting than humans!

 

[Tigris]

Pixie: Flying and really small which makes the race quite unique. Also what vould be better as a lazy warlord than a small picie sitting on your shoulders telling you whst to do.

Genasi: (not genasai) incredible flexibel and with acidsoul genasi one of the voolest racial abilities ever.


Revenant: Reborn because of the Raven Queen. Mixing adventages of your former race with your new undead shadow powers.


I really want to like catfolk/tabaxi, but they always get really bad racials... Why cant the claws (and teeth) not at least once be useful... (in 13th age the equivalent is cool. Your dumb cat luck lets enemies harm themselves instead of you).

 

[Zardnaar]

Mechanics. Probably human, elf, goliath. Aasimar honorable mention.
