Many of the racial benefits are rather... counterintuitive. For example, if you pick an elf to play a seemingly fitting class like a bow-based ranger, most of the benefits of being an elf are redundant because the ranger class already provides them. The same for Githyanki and martial classes. So if you really want to make the most of racial benefits you need to pick an "unusual" class for that race, so that feats, etc don't overlap.

Very good overview, as usual! I do think you forgot one thing that I have found useful with elves, including drow, if you want to build a scout type character. For a scout you probably need perception and it is only a class skill for certain classes. Moreover there are no backgrounds that give perception. So when I decided to start a monk that I wanted to be scouting, lockpicking I choose a wood-elf. Then I could start with Perception (wood-elf), Sleight of Hand (background) and Stealth (background or class).

Of course, I didn't see the little lock button so I kept trying to drag buttons off to no effect until I searched the answer. Also, just read about using ctrl or shift like you would selecting files for inventory manipulation. I'm sure there's some other efficiency knowledge you could share with people unfamiliar with the game or, like me, spaced they were familiar with it because they were so excited about playing a spore druid Githyanki. The spores definitely make the character play more like a martial class making it feel more like a classic spellsword and I'm loving it.

I really like how alien Githyanki look, so that's a plus for me. I find their lore to be quite interesting as well. Their racial Astral Knowledge seems very useful. Would've been even better if we were able to play as Githzerai as well. Lae'zel probably wouldn't be too happy, to put it mildly.

Elf or Half Elf is actually good for a Paladin. The Friends cantrip is actually useful in dialogue. Just never see many people bring that up on these kind of videos

Great video. I always go Wood Elf with pretty much any game that has it and my main is a Wood Elf Druid....however the way Larian has handled playing as a Drow makes them probably my favourite in game. My evil Dark Urge character is a Drow, and watching Goblins cower, or put fear into the Tiefling kids is too good.

Dragonborn is so damn cool looking, which is all the more reason that their class features feel too underwhelming. I know that this is pretty much how they are in the tabletop, too, but come on, could of given them something more useful. They are walking dragons with scaly skin.. That is natural armor, could have given them something based on that, kind of like Sorcerer's Dragonic Ancestry increases their AC. Or they could put that big mouth of theirs to use and bite down on an enemy to cause bleeding. Or at least make the breath attack more useful. There is a lot of cool stuff that they could have done with a literal humanoid dragon, but alas the only cool thing that they got is their visual design. I'll still play a DU run as a Dragonborn, but yeah, a bit underwhelmed.

The buff to breath weapons makes Dragonborn much more viable imo. You get a free elemental resistance, you have solid movement options, good jump range. And a free spell that doesn't use a spell slot, scales to level, does AOE, and reacts to the environment. For example frost breath freezing water, and fire breath igniting oil. The lack of proficiencies does limit their usefulness for certain classes, however they are arguable more useful for certain builds than other races. For example I think White or Silver Dragons, make the best Tempest Cleric/Storm Sorcerer Multi-class since this match relies a lot on using water to set up for Lightning damage. However Cold also synergizes with water, so having an extra cold attack is useful, but gaining resistance to Cold and Lightning damage is invaluable for a character that is often, "Wet."

Also GIth are the most optimal best race for almost any class, at least imo.

I started with a Seldarine Drow Dark Urge paladin of vengeance. My entire idea was to be as much of an edgelord as possible, while still resisting the temptations of my dark impulses and the promises of alien power. Basically, an edgelord who manages to stay good. But I didn't expect at all, how impactful the fact, that I'm a drow, would be. Some of the antagonists are drow, so many other characters assumed I'm with them and that has given me a free pass to go to places and do stuff a lot of times already. That went beyond my expectations and I enjoyed it a lot.

It's too bad they don't give humans that play paladins some sort of advantage compared to other races since, traditionally, they were the only race allowed to take that class. Seems wrong that elves and half-orcs make better paladins from a min/max perspective.

I wish they kept ability bonuses for races. Not only it makes races mostly the same and takes away important part of character creation, but it also hurts roleplay. You know there is something is wrong when gnome is the best choice for a barbarian.

@@PalaDave99 that was pretty much it when they made the change for much of the tabletop game as well. They wanted to open up more creativity without the negatives holding people back, step away from the bioessentialism, and focus on the features instead. Encourage rather than discourage, so to speak. I really like the change and it seems all people I've ever played with do to. But some don't, usually people like me who played the earlier editions, and they are free to play the tabletop game with whatever restrictions they want. 🤓
