[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 8108185, member: 7015558"] So I just listened to the most recent Dragon Talk, where Jeremy Crawford described some of the new rules for races that will be released allow with [I]Tasha's Cauldron of Everything[/I]. The most interesting thing I heard (as a lore nut) was that you could take these rules and use them to make your own race, or your own "one-of-a-king" character. Now, when I heard that, I made this custom table. Essentially, it takes most of the released races and organizes them to show what combinations are available, which combinations don't have an answer in D&D lore, and which do but aren't released. I primarily used the Forgotten Realms wiki as a resource here, but you can apply those as a baseline for your own ideas! [ATTACH type="full"]127492[/ATTACH] Green means there is no lore answer (and you can make one up or ban it), yellow means there is a lore answer (at least for FR), and italics means it isn't released for 5E. Now, I don't personally think there should be an answer to each of these combinations, but I do think the new Tasha's rules can allow you to try some out! A tortle for example with fiendish ancestry is completely out-of-scope in the PHB, but these rules allow you to try out strange combinations like this. [/QUOTE]
