@@caerdwyn7467 You realise, that you're basically saying Gilmore doesn't play with any feeling right? The original comment states his lizardfolk has no emotion, you liken this to David Gilmore and your argument for this is that he is technically perfect (if you want technical perfection watch bands like Archspire or Obscura), but cannot write good lyrics. Thus, you conclude, Gilmore has no emotion. Because his lyrics are shit. Maybe you don't know this, but the ability to play guitar does not have anything to do with the ability to write lyrics.

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.

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.

Yeah, I have been crafting half-Troll races (3 so far). A Half-Troll/ Half-Elf, a Half-Troll/Half-Triton, and a Half-Troll/Half-Hobgoblin. The Half-Elf and Half-Hobgoblin races were fairly straight forward (Half-elf used as cannon fodder by an elf kingdom, Half-Hobgoblin used as elite front line soldiers and extremely evil in nature) but the Half-Triton has been the most fun. The Tritons' nature makes the thought of mistreating some race they made to aid in their constant war against monsters unthinkable, and in all, the Tritons just have the best martial culture to draw on. Heck, there is the quote most commonly used for them made by a ship captain in universe "Ah, The Tritons. Imagine, if the Elves spent a few centuries far beneath the sea, where their arrogance and pretension could grow undisturbed. At least the tritons spent that time fighting sahuagin and worse, so you know you can count on them in a fight." Seriously, if I can't get my DM to let me use one of my Half-Troll races, I am playing a Triton.

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

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.

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

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!

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA YES!! YOU, MY FRIEND, JUST MADE MY NEXT D&D CHARACTER.

Played a lizardman once that occasionally put on a "ring of overwhelming emotions", which was originally meant to be a gag item from the GM as it was meant to be a reward from a quest. The receiving person was overwhelmed with gratitude and cried in thanks and the like.... When I put it on, I just felt normal emotions. It was weird, so I took it off, but at several points in the future, put it back on to roleplay mourn with my comrades.

My first character I ever played was a triton swashbuckler named, Joran Mernimier. He was so adorkable as one minute he'd valiantly rush to someone's aid no matter the foe, the next, he'd be screaming for help because he'd someone always managed to get himself into the worst possible outcome. Even though he was a pirate, he had a huge soft spot for smaller races and Orc folks and often would often anonymously pay off tabs for folks in taverns. He was a successful pirate on the high seas and captain-d his own ship, though often would go through bouts of depression and go upon shore to seek adventures of a different sort. (Every so often the DM worked it out for bizarre and random reunions with his crew and weaved it into the main story line.) He first met his onshore adventuring group after being slap about face after attempting to ask out a barmaid.... his super high charisma stats made him an instant recruit and honestly, he probably was one of the funniest characters I ever had the joy to play. Highly recommend them if you're seeking to play and quirky yet incredibly charismatic character.

Funny thing, I’m playing a Goliath Open Hand Monk named Variak in an Eberron game. Usually Friday’s, but sometimes we go Twice a week with Monday AND Friday because we have to cancel one night. Variak is just a big hearted boy who left the mountains to live jn a small country side town, where he learned to cook and brew ale. He only left to adventure after he got tired of constant praise he was recieving after wrestling a rampaging owlbear to the ground. End goal for thus boy? Earn enough coin to open his own tavern and inn, where he can just have people enjoy good food, good drink, MAYBE a good bar fight, all with bright smiles. Last session (on the 26th kf June), he got trapped with a bunch of party ghosts and was just a screaming big boi with a Texan Accent, trying desperately to get out of that room and away from the whispering ghosts that coaxed him with a feast. More stuff happened, including a role play moment with an NPC that legit scares Variak and Me, and my big boi earned inspiration that session at the nomination of the other players.

A lizardfolk character that is also a wizard could be awesome in a lot of ways.. Rather than the typical "I want to know the secrets of the world because knowledge!!!!" how neat would it be if their search for knowledge is a way to experience something they litterally can't experience..love, anger, happiness, sadness and fear..aka emotions.. Their only mission in life is learning how to feel something in order to understand something that is so alien to them. I feel like that would be one cool and facinating backstory that could explain why they left their tribe as well seeing that they probably won't be able to learn it from their brothers or sisters since they have the same "flaw" in their life. It would litterally be you playing as a phychopath that don't want to be a phychopath anymore just because he is facinated with it not nessesarily because he finds it wrong but because it is a cool concept for him. I could see it being cool also suddenly being able to actually learn how to feel (Guessing through a wish spell I would imagine is the only thing that could do it) would be another fun roleplay aspect. How the fuck would someone who have never felt sad before in their life react to suddenly feeling lose and sadness over losing one of their allices in battle because they seriously respected them..

A lizard wizard

Currently on my first d&d campaign playing a lizardfolk sun monk. One of the best decisions I ever made, and roleplaying him is beyond fun.

My favorite race in Volos guide to monsters is in fact the Tabaxi, somewhat for their abilities, but mostly for there interesting and unique traits. This is a race that values curiosity, like strange mystery or unique tales, more than gold. This gives so many different takes on established ideas. Like a Charlotte Tabaxi haggling with a customer to trade gold for a book, but this book is the customers and the Tabaxi are trying to get it. Or a thief Tabaxi stealing strange looking things over riches due to their values. They will abandon artifacts worth millions of gold pieces once they felt they knew all that it held, while keeping junk that still fascinates them. Its a unique take that leads to a lot of subversion's from the tradition party way.

Malcom Hansford I’m surprised that this message is in this video, since I purposefully only chose pictures that were: 1. Official art from tabletop games like WotC/Pathfinder 2. Pictures from media (movies, games) 3. Memes and stock images I actively stayed away from any fan art or original artworks that didn’t appear in any official books. Even if you go back and check some of my guides (warlock guide, for instance) I have actually gone through and added a google doc with all the credits I could find. When I started KZread, I was just making these videos for the few people I ran D&D for. I wasn’t expecting any popularity to come out of it, so I never worried about things like this. Now that my videos are getting way more views than I had ever hoped for, I’m taking a couple hours each day to fix each video.

Malcom Hansford This comment was also posted verbatim in my divination guide? That video was pretty much all screenshots from the wiki. I recognize that you totally could have not seen the credits I added (I admittedly haven’t gotten to many videos), I’m just confused by which videos you chose to comment on. Either way, I’m glad that you made the posts regardless, because it let me show that I am actually trying to make things better.

@@DavvyChappy thanks for the reply, first time I've ever had a big one reply to me actually... I commented it twice because I thought you weren't likely to see the first as it was on an older video. You are right in this not being the target video for the statement. And I do appreciate that you are starting to add them to videos! I haven't seen them yet tho that may be in part due to mobile. Once again thanks and I appreciate it.

@@DavvyChappy when volvos guide to monster races

From what I know about Planescape, the Tabaxi Cat Loard, is probly one of the manu Beast-Loards; lesser deitys from the BeastLands, (the Netral/Chaotic-Good afterlife.) Who represent the perfect version of an animal.

One of my favourite ideas for a Kenku is a Drunken Master Monk who learned to fight by copying drunk guys in the local tavern. He doesn't actually get drunk, he just doesn't realise there are other ways to fight, since that's all he has seen. Maybe I'd give him Tavern Brawler too at a later level.

Great video!

Kenkuo, the meme lords of D&D.

I mean. I played as a Kenku Bard named "Haaa" (Exhale) We gave him the ability to think creativity again just to make things easier, but was unable to mimic voices or speak as a trade off. He communicated in charades which was actually really fun.

I love my Triton Barbarian. She rocks!

I play a kenku cleric who Was raised to celebrate death as it was the end of someone's suffering. So to help people not think they were all insane he began running a undead circus.

Triton's are going to be amazing with the Next D&D campaign book coming out.

Funny thing is, both the lizardfolk and the kenku are in the monster manual, so they should both be considered monstrous races!

fun fact, i actually picked up volo's guide thanks to critical role. i really loved caduceus clay and nila (both firbolgs) and wanted to make my own... i wound up falling in love with the triton race and making a triton sorcerer... who i've since deleted from dndbeyond bc i'm not doing premium and needed to clear up space (+i haven't played at all X'D)

Kenku's are my personal favorite race.

They are actually my most hated race. Only slightly edging out the Tabaxi.

kenkus are the minions of dnd

I use the books that add races in a more complex way... my fourth campaign for my group has the elf war from the second campaign lead up to what is going on in the fourth and it also includes the rebellion from the third which (since players sided with elves) had the elves increase defense in all cities towns etc...

8:03 Ohmygosh. It's Frumpkin disguised as Nott. Too cute~

My triton bard has gone from a throwaway to my favorite PC. He's a cultural ambassador from the seas beneath Velen and he swears like a sailor because he learned common from sailors.

This video inspired me to get volos

In my first campaign there was a Firbolg npc, he was adorable and sweet

So at least in my campaign I've actually ditched the restriction on kenku not being able to talk or think originally since even real crows are capable of doing both. However the flying thing is awesome so I've absolutely kept that.

The players I DM for wanted to get creative when we started a semi-serious roleplay heavy game. Their party is made up of: • 2 High Elves • 1 Wood Elf • 1 Water Genasi • 1 Pixie • 1 Loxodon • 1 Mousefolk • 1 Warforged We literally don’t even have a human. As a DM, I have 100% made sure they know and feel like they stand out in human, Elf and dwarf settlements especially. If anything, they find it exciting because they feel special, even when their characters are discriminated against. They end up only solidifying their companionship with each other when this happens, even in societies where their specific character is the majority population. It’s a band of misfits no matter where they go and it’s made for some really amazing natural character develop moments

Oh shit. I was just daydreaming about a silly character idea and you exactly described it as the kenku

i played a fun lizardfolk druid once. she really "liked" (cold and unfeeling lizard) looking after her soft-ones and helping them in battle.

YES!

Tabaxi are so cheesy. Dangerously cheesy.

It is catastrophic

Imagine if they added the more Infernal races from the Fiend Folio and Monsters of Faerûn, like the Maeluth, Fey-Ri, Tanarukk, and Wispling(Dwarf, Elf, Orc, Halfling).

Goliaths back then: Too niche to be hugely useful Goliaths now: Much more useful, seriously, that cold damage resistance is amazing

I'm using a lizarfolk in Pathfinder currently and so far Fighter 7/Bloodrager 1. I like the character since I haven't played a melee heavy styled character in quite a while. It's nice being able to walk up and hit enemies with a halberd doing 1d10+8(1.5 str for handed weapon(+6 total), +1 weapon training, +1 enhancement)+ 1d6 acid from corrosive enchantment. My DM hates that I can chunk big enemies or even almost one shot them with a crit.

My favorite dnd character to play is known as selturepaw, a mousefolk raised by lizardfolk.

Firbolgs, for when you want to shout, "GET OUT OF MAH SWAMP!" in character.

I've always wanted to play a tabaxi, but I was too self conscious to play the stereotypical furry race. Recently I was playing a runty Goliath artificer based on Hiccup from How To Train Your Dragon, who was a fun character for a few sessions. Unfortunately a run in with a magical deck of cards that left my character in a coma which lasted for the rest of the session, which I spent on the edge of my seat as the party raced against the clock trying to save me. Inevitably, the coma ended after slowly shape-shifting me into a random new race- Tabaxi. Dear God this game is amazing 👏

How have I not heard of this book yet

I had a tabaxi trickery domain cleric and he was glorious

A bit counter point to the tabaxi spending a turn not moving for double speed, I think it would lead to a similar problem as true strike, you know, I can spend 2 turns to roll 2 dice, but I would’ve done that anyway and it had the potential to twice the damage output if I didn’t cast the spell It’s the same thing but with movement speed, I could spend 2 turns moving 60 feet, or... spend 2 turns to move 60 feet... so while I understand the concept of a cat pouncing, mechanically not moving for a whole turn to get double movement the next turn seems like it wouldn’t do much to help, maybe if you were planning to dash that turn it would help but that still costs an action meaning you won’t be able to attack whatever you were trying to catch up with in the first place (depending on class of course)
