I believe this was published before Tasha’s Cauldron of everything made the half elf arguably one of the strongest races and the go to classes and multiclasses that were hard to do. Also be aware that there is also the Sword Coast Adventurer’s guide (if your d uses it) that allows you to have variants for the half elf that reflex your elven “half”.
I'm currently playing my first ever campaign and my character is a half-elf fighter. She's able to double as the tank and damage dealer of the party, in our last session she dealt 88 damage over the course of one round at level 7.
I love watching this video. I watch it almost every week. The only thing I miss on this video are the examples of characters like you provided for the tabaxi. Your videos are amazing!
I play a half elf cleric with a noble background in a Curse of Strahd campaign. This has been interesting because most of Barovia either hates me because I’m a half elf or because I’m a noblewoman. Strahd flat out hates me because I’m a cleric too.
I'm playing my first EVER spellcaster in DnD, a Half-Elf Oath of Vengeance paladin with a Noble background!! I'm having a real blast with it because we're at level 5, and I almost feel that it's almost too powerful so I might need to dial it back a little!! LMAO
I’m very new to DND but I’ve been a long time fan. (If that makes any sense) I can only see myself as a half elf, I don’t think I’d be happy using anything else.
Just about to restart a campaign after a six month break. Playing a half elf Bard with a runaway father. This video gave me a ton of insight to flesh my character out more!
I’m playing a half-elf cleric named Reyna, since she’s a cleric she follows the deity Loki, she’s chaotic good, red hair (like ariel red) and sapphire eyes.
Get a means of constant advantage, like Faerie Fire, or attacking from stealth, and consider Elven Accuracy to give double advantage. Helps with the -5 from Sharpshooter.
I just did a d&d character test that said I should be a half-elf ranger and that I was lawful good. So does that mean if I were to go with that character I'd be at a disadvantage?
@@SkullSplitter gotcha! Thanks so much. I really enjoy your videos. I’m currently trying out character classes and races based on me, my wife, and my daughter. Lol

Half Elf Druid seems such a "natural fit". I'm a new player, little disappointed you didn't mention that at all??
My first character was a Half-elf druid. She was cool.

I like playing half-elves. I find human characters boring, especially since there are so many cool fantasy creatures, but I like versatile characters.
Iam Currently Playing A
9th Level Half-Elf Bladesinger
& He's Working Out GREAT...

2:32 My half-elf character is a NG glory paladin of Lathander!
Best race for cha classes, hands down. Best race overall if Tashas rules are allowed.. My personal opinion of course.

Really wanna make a half elf paladin that follows Bahamut!
i am new to dnd but i like half elf paladin
It's a good choice! Especially if you have fun playing them. What will you call them?
Why doesn’t ranger work well? The versatility makes it fit amazingly I thought
I really want to play a half-elf a long range scout rogue/arcane archer, but I don't what feats I should pick.
Sharpshooter is a great perk on ranged characters. The rest is pretty dependent on the style you want to play...
Get a means of constant advantage, like Faerie Fire, or attacking from stealth, and consider Elven Accuracy to give double advantage. Helps with the -5 from Sharpshooter.
I Would Take: ALERT, MOBILE
& SHARPSHOOTER or ELVEN ACCURACY...
I do a half wood elf ranger but I do know how to make it work for our campaign
I just did a d&d character test that said I should be a half-elf ranger and that I was lawful good. So does that mean if I were to go with that character I'd be at a disadvantage?
If you don’t mind me asking, why wouldn’t a half elf be as good for a ranger class?
Could you? Yes! It's just not as strong for rangers as other races. BUT, we're really fans of playing what's fun for you.

Typically bladesinging is held for JUST full elves; your mileage may vary based on your DM though.
Traditionally bladesong (invented by elves) wasn't taught to non elves, including half elves.
@@marcialhd They could be but only with Tasha’s character stat bonus were they optimal and would not lag compared to elves (who have a +2 dex).
Half-elves seem like an elf to humans and seem human to elves.
