And obviously you'll lose access to any features that are blocked by wearing heavy armor. Your investment on Dex is only wasted if you take a role in the party that keeps you away from situations that require Dex.

Drow become suddenly S-tier in any campaign where sunlight isn't present, such as one set in an "Underdark" region or the Shadowfell. Also, if your party is going to be conducting their business in the dark, such as at night because you are a party of dirty thieves, they get to A-tier because you get to ignore their massive drawback. High Elves can only learn cantrips from the Wizard spell list, so no Guidance, unfortunately. You can still get Mage Hand or Minor Illusion, though! According to Sage Advice, Mask of the Wild works in any sort of naturally-occurring dim light, such as a shadow or twilight. It also lets you -- rules as written -- literally hide in plain sight using these phenomena, which isn't usually possible. An example of dim light you CANNOT hide in is the dim light from a torch or the spell Light, but anything else is pretty much fair game. This is every bit as insane for a Rogue as it sounds, as you can step into a shadow in PLAIN VIEW of the enemies and, with a successful Stealth check, hide from them. The hiding in plain sight does still work against darkvision as well as long as the darkness is full darkness (since it treats it as dim light, i.e. lightly obscured). This combined with the ability to use Longbows and the additional movement speed really seem to make them tailor-made for the Rogue class.

The built-in telepathy for stealthy plays. Not to mention the main feature which is all the silly and powerful combos and builds you can pull off with 4 arms. You could wear two pairs of living gloves, cast spells without putting away your shield or weapon, grapple someone and then use your baby arms to apply a contact-based poison, play an artificer artillerist and you can hold your tiny cannon in your extra set of arms, use the extra arms to activate cloak of the bat and glide while still having access to your weapons. Just saying the utility is pretty OP when you think about how much two extra arms having to manipulate objects or items can be. I mean technically RAW a Thri-Kreen artificer armor wearing their arcane armor has two sets of gloves as they have 4 arms and thereby baby arms get thunder gloves and big arms can wield other things and you can use both as the baby arms wouldn't technically be wielding anything.

The first level mutations can be downright OP in the right campaign to be honest. You can have a cheap always on version of spider climb, a cheap always-on version of feather fall/fly or always on water breathing which also grants swim speed (objectively better than the spell being cast on you as the spell doesn't grant a swim speed and while 24hrs is a long time, forever is longer). For the level five mutations, I love Carapace because who doesn't like +1AC, great for people using no armour through to medium which is most classes. Acid Spit is admittedly better than I originally gave it credit for. 11 damage on average, half on a successful save but at least that number goes up over time (16.5 @ 11 level > 22 @ 17 level), it's not spectacular damage at high levels but it's more than I can say about Grappling Appendages. This is the only mutation I don't think I would ever take, even if I was building a brawler who likes to grapple. You can't use the appendages to hold/use items, but that might be slightly OP if they could. You have to hit with an attack using them before you can use your bonus action to try to grapple the same target. Probably would've been better if the condition for trying to grapple wasn't reliant on your attack with them hitting first and or if the damage at least increased as you levelled up (bigger die, like Monks - your attacks aren't magical though so Monks still have that going for them).

Kalashtar aren't just half-spirit half- human, they can also be half-spirit half-elf, half-spirit half-dwarf, etc. You also aren't like Yugi/Atem since you aren't two people in one body. You are a spirit from the plane of dreams (or another plane/universe/timeline/etc. if your DM allows it) that reincarnated into the body of someone from the material plane, isekai-style, replacing or fusing with the body's original spirit. It can make for some good roleplay moments when that person's friends and family want to know why they're suddenly acting different. Also, 25:32 it would be 8 hours, not 12, and since the growing is probably somewhat magical, like a permanent Enlarge effect, I don't think it would be painful, though it can be if your DM says it can. Finally, I would love to hear you discuss and rank the Dragonmark races. There are some subraces that don't seem like a viable choice outside of a roleplay-heavy campaign. For example, the Mark of Hospitality halfling just doesn't seem useful for anything other than running a business or making traveling and camping easier. How would you use it differently?

@AtelierGod

Жыл бұрын

Mark of Hospitality Halflings can be busted with the right class, such as Life cleric, now you have a +3 to all your healing spells and an expanded spell list that gives you goodberry giving you for the low cost of 1 1st level spell slot 40 points of healing, preferably out of combat but it can neutralize the need for short tests for martials entirely. There’s also Aid so if you play a class that don’t get access to it you can eventually just cast it for those sweet extra HP to your party. They’re not just good for role play and businesses, they’re quite effective as supports, another combo is to play a sorcerer with this subclass and before you end the day burn all but your 1st level spell slots and then generate more 1st level spell slots to spam goodberry into a bag of holding since they last for 24 hours giving you massive amounts of healing the next day.

this gave me the idea to make a warforged druid (i know probably been done before i should go look it up) having the ability to reshape your robot form into becoming mechanical animals. that'd be sick roleplay

Resisting Radiant damage is almost entirely irrelevant unless you have a cool DM that specifically goes out of their way to give enemies radiant damage, but resisting Necrotic damage is amazing for nearly every level.

With Mountain Dwarf, I actually thought about doing a Rogue that is Strength based rather than heavily invested in Dex. The fun thing about Finesse weapons is that you can still chose to use Strength instead of Dex and they still work for Sneak Attack. Two must take feats for it though are Dwarven Fortitude (to be able to heal mid combat) and Medium Armor Master (for up to an 18 AC in Half plate while ignoring the disadvantage you would take to Stealth)

There's a pretty amazing use for the Wood Elf that wasn't mentioned: they make for fantastic monks. With their weapon proficiencies and the optional monk feature Dedicated Weapon, you can built any monk subclass with the ability to use a longsword as a monk weapon (and also the longbow). That is really, really good. Also the increased walking speed, the perception proficiency and the enhanced ability to hide mix really well with basically any monk. ANd with their high age and their meditation it's just such a good monk flavour ...

I don't think I saw all the Plane Shift races in there... (Siren, Khenra, Aetherborn, Aven, Vampire, Naga, Merfolk, Kor and a few more options for Human, Goblin, & Elf) The Plane Shift pdfs were released by WotC and made freely available, so that's a possibility if you ever want to do another one of these.

You forgot nearly uncounterable spellcasters. Counterspell requires "1 reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell" But, Thri-Kreen language itself is not fully Verbal, they have different body structure, and their extra arms can be doing the material components behind their backs or under cloaks and other things... Thri-Kreen can exploit a myriad of tricks to either make their spells invalid targets for Counterspell, or force a Spellcaster to risk every gesture and action is a spell that they might need to cast Counterspell to stop.

I think you missed the part where Owlins have a flying speed equal to their walking speed, so Dhampirs get a 35-foot flying speed, as opposed to a 30-foot walking speed. Also; you can use it with heavy armor, since you’re only getting the Owlin’s speed, not its flying trait.

I could be wrong about this, but I don’t believe it gives you access to heavy armor, ancestral legacy states “Ancestral Legacy: If you replace a race with this lineage, you can keep the following elements of that race: any skill proficiencies you gained from it and any climbing, flying, or swimming speed you gained from it.” So to me you gain a flying speed from the flight trait, meaning any restrictions that came with it remain, although I could be incorrect and you just pick up the speed

Evocation wizard for spell sculpting. Take plate armour, a shield, and walk into the middle of a large group and drop fireball on myself.

One thing that is nice about warforged over autognome is that warforged can be resurrected.

Kalashtars make amazing Druids. They can speak to others in Wildshape and their telepathy increases each level

Every beneficial spell with a range of touch has a 10 ft range with Plasmoid’s. If you assume “spell attacks” are different than “attacks” classic that spell list expands a lot. Or you could just have a familiar.

My go to race for monk or Barbarian is Warforged. Assuming a point buy system having a 16 wisdom and a 14 dex allocating the +1 in wisdom your unarmored Defense is 16 at level 1. Which is pretty high for a monk. And since you will be buffing your dex continuously and probably looking for some bracers of protection that number will sky rocket as the levels progress. Or for Barbarian have a 16 con and 16 dex (14 and 15 respectively) because of alocation gives you a 17 armor class.

I made a hexblade barbarian plasmoid so he didn't wear any armor or a shield and since I went pact of the blade I reflavoured the pact weapon into something that I formed out of my ooze body. That way I could go through tiny cracks and then summon my pact weapon which worked as my spell casting focus. He doesn't ever take humanoid shape either. It is ridiculous to have a head and he wouldn't be caught dead with one. It was for a Christmas campaign designed like die hard and I called my plasmoid Flan McLane.
