Hey! Give me money!:

Song: Kingdom of Bards - Adrian Von Ziegler

[hopefulhyena]

I haven't gotten the chance to play him, but I made a Lizardfolk Bard I want to try out. All his passion during performances is 100% BS. He feels nothing and is operating solely on musical theory.

[Randomdudefromtheinternet]

Tritons be like:


# WHAT CAN I SAY EXCEPT YOU'RE WELCOME #

[Alastair_Ulven]

Kobold + Druid + dog wildshape + beg grovel and cower = ULTIMATE PUPPY EYES POWER. This is the most powerful thing in the game and no one can prove me wrong.

[DanePavitt]

I had a Lizardfolk druid, & honestly I found the roleplay element really limiting. Putting survival first, logic before emotion, having no need for money etc. Kinda left me wondering why my Lizardfolk would care about anything my party was getting involved in

Tabaxi characters in a nutshell

NPC: “Hey, cat person, can you get me a-.”

(Tabaxi runs off)

NPC: “Wait, where did he go? Oh, look, I’ve been impaled.”

[MrJethroha]

I think you under sell how silly fast a tabaxi can be, even while climbing. If a tabaxi monk is standing at the bottom of a 180ft tall tree, they can be at the top of that tree in 1 round (6 seconds) without necessarily making a check. Monk adds +10 to 20 foot climb speed (per sage advice), Feline agility turns a 30ft climb speed into 60 ft. They can move, dash, and step of the wind straight to the top at like level 2. Of course, your party would need to call the fire department afterwards to get you down, but that's their problem.

[lunarcat]

Great now I need to see a Sun Elf and a Triton try to out condecend one another

[Zirkalaritz]

If you ever get to play a lizardman, here's an RP gem you can use: All reptiles are lactose intolerant. They do not produce the enzyme lactase needed to dissolve lactose, so any dairy product they eat it's going to get out of their digestive tract in a hurry (one end or the other), otherwise the undigested sugars will just sit there in their stomachs, causing all sorts of complications (bloating, rotting, unbalance of the digestive flora, etc.)
So yeah, something to keep in mind when packing rations or accepting that delightful cheese bite at the feast.

[Sam-sppt]

Ah yes, my favorite playable race. The ASMR

[satsiretaffer]

I once played a kenku wizard.
It was an... enlightening experience.


Don't do it.

[KamenRiderGreed]

I played a Triton Cleric who spoke in as much Shakespearean English as I could muster, because I really liked that quirk in the book, also whenever someone would call him a Fish, or a Fish Man he would say
"I am a Triton, and you would do well to remember as such!" because technically Tritons as described in Volos aren't actually fish people, they're actually from the elemental plane of water and aren't actually fish, they have fish-like traits, but they themselves are not actual fish, which is why he did that so much.

[alexanderlicentia]

6:10 So glad they finally decided to make a race primarily for Mark Zuckerberg.

[punkpinata]

My first ever D&D charakter was a Triton Paladin. It was really fun playing him. I played him like a mix of greek warrior and philosoph with a very kind heart. Tritons are by far my favourite race.

[airenyes]

8:07 I see you, Frumpkin-disguised-as-Nott

[nowits]

I played a Kenku bard for a one shot I was in. Real fun experience! He never created pieces of his own, but instead was basically a tape recorder for other bardic tunes. He mostly communicated with others with a mix of charades and noises (e.g. "there are guards nearby" = the sound of clinking armor + pointing). If a word was too complicated but necessary, the DM let me say it as long as I did it with some funny accent. Communication was a bit of a puzzle at some points, but honestly a blast. I definitely want to play him again so I can fully utilize his illusion spells and make noises with them for some real trickery.
Anyway great video! Volo's Guide is honestly my favorite with a lot of fun races.

[KreativAce]

Kobold's don't deserve this hate man

[DecisiveZoom]

Davvy: Goliaths are to niche to be fun
Travis: Hold my Grog

[jasonduncan]

I once made a tabaxi monk who can for six seconds at day run at Mach SEVEN or about half of escape velocity safe to say he was never seen in battle but you never forget when you wizard suddenly gets dragged next to the enemy barbarian that was on the other side of the battlefield in a blink of a eye

[Miriromi]

My favorite part of being a Goliath is that if I end up fighting a monster who is unarmed without a natural weapon built into their body or magic, I am honorbound to just toss my axe aside and beat the shit out of them unarmed. The constant need for a level playing field is great because you will be able to handicap yourself, bit by bit. Fighting a warrior one on one? No fancy magics. FIghting a monster with only one arm? Cross one behind your back and take out your one handed axe.

[colinowen]

Goliath has +2 strength and +1 constitution, not the other way around.
