D&D 5E Half-Elves are taking over my game! (Or are Humans underpowered?)

That's why you set your game in that one DnD 3rd edition city where if it ain't human, then it's kill all Demi-Humans on site.

Gah! My players would hate that, as would I. I like Humans, but having just Humans would be boring.

Now, I'm getting an idea for rabbit Elves, and I can't let go of it.

Furry rabbit elves with rabbit ears. Jeez, this sounds like half of the animes I watch already.

I mean you COULD reskin the elf/Half-Elf for it if ya really wanted too!

Oh no you could still have the half-elves and stuff. And see if any of the elven/half-elf players could resist the temptation of being a Scar Enforcer

That's it, screw all of the character concepts I had beforehand.

When I finally get a chance to not be the DM, I'm 100% playing a furry, rabbit-eared Hare Elf.

I mean I'm reskinning the Half-Elf on my end for a Duhallan character AND a Kitsune character.

So yeah rock on with the Rabbit/Hare Elf!

This is a Druin from Nicholas Eame's novels Kings of the Wyld and The Bloody Rose. They transparently fill the roll of elves - except that they have bunny ears.

In my mind's eye, I can't not see him twitching his nose.

I love my half-elf barbarian with a 16 charisma

str 16
Dex 12
Con 14
Int 8
Wis 10
Cha 16

And you can bet he has proficiency in persuasion and intimidation. At first level he is the face of the party for social interaction.

16 str&cha, low in and wis...

are you sure you are not a paladin?

i just want to break stereotypes these days. I want to play something similar with a high strength wizard build. I won’t build a perfectly optimized character anymore. I still optimize some. But I been toying with playing an 8 int half-orc wizard that only casts spells without saving throws. That has a high strength and constitution.

We call his raging a pretty boy having a temper tantrum

I've always wanted to make a Berserker with decent Charisma that actually makes use of Intimidating Presence.
