      @@Chrinik it remind me of a campaign of numenera, I decided to play some kind of stone man (just to name it Dwayne Johnson, yep so much originality) but we hadn't any kind of "physical and biological information" about them so we would create them on the fly when the question is asked (like what do I eat, how do I poop ? do I ever poop ? and so on, we created a whole bunch of how they work)
      it have been decided that my race would sleep for two full days once every month, so I was basically nightawtch every night.
      (on the other rules, I don't poop but since I erode Myself i still need to eat rocks a bit; the only medicine I know is either eat enough to build that corporal mass again or using cement on my wounds)
      it was realy fun to imagine all of that ! I liked that character realy much in the end !

    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.

      Honestly that’s substantially closer to England during the Imperial Era than the USA, considering the US is the protectorate and a major peacekeeper to like half of the world now, and has major trade agreements with most of them, it even stabilized and rebuilt Japan well above what it used to be after WWII. Meanwhile Imperial England sought to overtake India, North Africa, Australia, the Caribbean, Japan and the Americas.
      Also there’s hundreds of countries that enslaved people, dark-skinned or not; Japan oppressed and enslaved the Philippines, China and Korea, England enslaved various groups of people for a long time, Eastern Canada held a multitude of indentured servants from Scotland and Ireland, African countries themselves enslaved their own people before they were sold to other countries, the US isn’t the only country that did that or even the first. Also idk where you get that idea about Trump, he can be an asshole but he’s not a dictator lol
      Illithids are probably the most like England or Japan back when they wanted to conquer everything under the sun but even then I don’t think we have a good irl comparison. Would be pretty awesome to have them though I’ll agree with that.

When he seduced that NPC, no one knew it was a dragon in disguise.

    He would commonly not use ki altogether, in fact by the time I was level 2 I still didn't use Ki at all, making the others in the party question if I was actually a monk to begin with, or some random that just really likes punching things. This got to the point where whenever Bob did use Ki, it would often surprise the others in the party (in character of course). Bob then tragically died when he tried to fist fight a wizard, who instantly killed him. I rolled in a new character who wasn't as basic, and the rest of the party members referred to Bob as "that guy" from that point on.

Tabaxi have some insane movement abilities as a race, and couple that with some of the sword skills from the subclass... At level three, she has the potential to move about 100’ every other round, with standard movement of 45’ in between. I doubt she’d ever quite match yours’ speed (assuming monk?) but I like the idea of a lightning fast fencer. One of these days... one of these days

    Favorite moment I had playing as a Warforged Paladin was when we were infiltrating a place along the water.
    I had the brilliant idea of doing a Pirates of the Caribbean scene where my Warforged just walked along the bottom of the lake, totally unseen.

    Drow:
    - Because regular elves are too basic for you.
    - You keep forgetting about your sunlight sensitivity, but not your superior dark vision.
    - You actually wanted to play a tiefling, but the party already had one, or you played one in a previous campaign, and you wanted something new and unique, but still "edgy".

      Nich White I seriously don’t understand y anyone would ever pick +1 to all stats over the variant human. I mean u really don’t need the +1 to your dump stats. As a variant human just pick resilient in con, wis, or dex (the 3 good saves) and u get 3 stats boosts and proficiency in a good save (or some other feat that could raise your an ability score by 1). And if your worried about more then 3 or your ability scores then your character is too mad (multiple ability dependent). U also get an extra skill proficiency on top of that as the variant. Regular humans suck.

      Chances are DM if they decide to allow this, which remeber they can always say no to, is that you will also take damage and or the enemy can make a dex save to roll out the way. Also do not abuse, unless you want the DM to heat metal in response.
