D&D General what is the worst race in dnd?

[Malmuria]

Humans are obviously the worst
Bariaur in Planescape seemed unnecessary.

 

[Tonguez]

Base Humans have become increasingly overwhelmed, not least by Variant Humans.

Earth Genasis and Kenku were short changed too

 

[Baron Opal II]

Whichever one doesn't fit in your milieu.

 

[Dioltach]

Krynn Minotaur and Gully Dwarf both spring to mind. The first because they should have had a +1 level adjustment (in 3.5E) and the second because, well, just read the very first Dragonlance novel. Or the first novel of the Legends trilogy.

 

[MockingBird]

I'm not liking the animal headed things in the new playtest.

 

[DND_Reborn]

There are SO MANY to choose from, I couldn't possibly narrow it down to "the worst"... at least half of them fit the bill IMO.

 

[Bernese]

why were gully dwarves even a thing? what were they smoking to come up with that?

 

[Charlaquin]

I remember Vampire being a race in 4E, but really any "race" that's really just a condition/modification. This would include lycanthropy as well, but I don't know if they ever did that as a race.

Vampire was a class in late 4e. The race you’re probably thinking of was Vryloka, which while connected to vampires, was properly a race you were born into rather than a condition people could acquire.

Thank god, they haven't come to 5e, but the Raptorians: A Now Shut Up race to DMs with a fear of flying to offer as a 'compromise'. They get a sad glide ability and look absolutely stupid with weird bird feet and a racial weapon 'the foot bow', which is actually not useful due to how the glide ability worked.

Also they're a species with females who are the ISO standard slim-waisted waif who lay eggs. Eggs that are described in a way that one assume they shatter the mother's pelvis to be born.

Also space hippos for life, I say, good chap.

Damn I’d had blocked Gully dwarfs from my memory and now youve gone and brought all that trauma back again …
