as a warforged, my favorite thing is to look at my DM and say, "I choose to stop breathing" whenever another character does something gross.

[waizardsoda]

"Monster Races: You're usually the DM."

I feel called out right now

[umbreonlife]

Tortle is the best race because:
-You're always wearing your house
-Because you're always in your house, you never have to wear pants. Who has to wear pants in their own home?

I’ve actually used player perception of Half-Orcs to my advantage. I was playing a Half-Orc War Cleric and for a while, he didn’t talk. The other players grew to assume that he was just stupid and only useful for hitting things. It came time that we were recruited to help plan a major battle and the main NPC that was there was throwing thinly veiled racism at my character. When it actually came time to strategize, my character busted out a perfect plan, using historical examples as reference and obscure strategies, and was very articulate and well spoken. What was his deal?
His Goddess was The Red Knight, Goddess of Strategy and Tactics. The reason he didn’t talk was because he’s actually very shy.

Me who's never played D&D before: "Oh man now this I've got to find out!"

[ProductivityHorrors]

Kenku: You're playing this race to justify playing sound clips at the table.
My kenku bard legit has no idea how to play the flute she carries around. She is good at copying the sound it should make though.

“Tiefling = Edgelord”
Damn it you got me
“Aasimar = Kindest person in the group…”
See? Now we’re talking
“Unless you’re a Fallen Aasimar then it’s because Tiefling wasn’t edgy enough.”
Damn it

[AdmiralxAvocado]

When the party table is 3 male dragonborn and 2 female tiefling rouges, being a human fighter is the most exotic thing.

[arvoredeuva]

Dragonfolk: "You wanted to play a Dragon but the DM didn't let you do that"

[brandongalvan]

"So tell me about your Goliath character."
*"THIS CHARACTER HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY FOR GENERATIONS!"*

[zachf.]

Regular human: "Boring, but that +1 to every stat IS nice."
Variant human: "Your either going to min-max, or you have a feat fetish"

[hue.main]

I made a Goliath who was adopted by dwarves as a child because she was left behind for being weak in her clan. But then once she learns dwarves live WAY longer than goliath’s, she makes a deal with the devil to have a dwarves life span so she can live with her family for the rest of her life. (My DM is still helping me figure out what the devil’s request is for her to get her wish.)

[renegadeceo]

forgot one for Tabaxi: Khajiit has wares if you have coin.

[ariestsuji]

Blaine: Firbolg is for hippies
me as a Firbolg: I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees, and the trees bout to break the caps of your knees

[SephirothRyu]

Bear: You forgot what your race actually is because your druid never leaves this form and frankly, why would you ever WANT to stop being a bear?

[BraindeadCRY]

Dwarf: Youve been secretly practising your irish accent in front of the mirror and did actual research on the 20 most common types of Ale, Mead and Beer in preparation for playing this character

[costcosfinest]

Him: half-elf
Me: haha that's not true idc who my character's parents are
Me: *realizes that i dont even know what his hair color is but have detailed lore written about his family's politics and history*

[MechaManZX]

Tabaxi: You also play a lot of Elder Scrolls and all the other players are getting tired of you trying to sell them back the loot you stole by declaring "Khajiit has wares, if you have coin".

[chakradarrat]

ok who is gonna tell blaine about the triton darkvision fix.

[BattleBrotherOpossum]

Me: "Oh boy! A fantasy setting where I can be any of the cool races, and wield magic!"
Also me: Human Fighter that uses Heavy Armor and Longswords
