I picked a Dragonborn for my first DnD campaign and was very surprised when most of the people in the game (including the DM) said they'd never had anyone play a dragonborn. It surprised me because...its a freaking dragon. This is a game where the only limits are the dice and my own creativity, of fucking course I wanna be a fucking dragon!
I always took the Dwarf/Halfling poison resistance as existing because both races drink heavily in most fantasy settings. Basically became resistant to alcohol poisoning.
The fact humans actually have quite decent night vision (after 15-25m of adapting that is) that can discern movement at about 300ft of range in darkness is hilarious given the whole darkvisiov differences 😂
Honestly Darkvision in DnD is more magic than biology, considering a character with Darkvision can still see even in pitch darkness. Humans and a lot of animals are adapted to see in low light, but there must still be SOME light.
No there are situations where you have ZERO light. Such as in a cave with no bioluminescence. Or just a couple hundred feet under water. With no light darkvision would work fine. Those races with darkvision still see better than humans cause low-light conditions, like you described at night with moon and start light? They'd see as if it were bright light.
I want to offer my appreciation for the music choices behind the different races. Hearing the Runescape Gnome Stronghold music when describing gnomes and the music from the Barrens in WoW for half-orcs was a wonderful touch.
Im just starting to get into D&D for the first time and i found your channel literally today!!! You make things simple but not too simple to the point where i have actually no idea whats going on. Doing great keep up the good work man!! Im staying tuned thats for sure. + bonus points bc ur hillarious 💀
I love that in my world (Campaign) Haflings are a miracle, they born from any race in a rarely occasion, people believe that they're somehow a divine blessing, that does not turn them a demi-god but do turn them into something that most people adore and want around because it's a honor to be with one, more for those who get married with them
9:20 you forgot to mention that all elves in D&D are a little bit smaller than humans, they’re still skinny, but they’re shortly than humans; the drow are on average 5 feet tall.
I'm a new dnd player and having these videos is super cool to learn as well as your fun personality making it all interesting to watch. Keep up these awsome videos
Man, you are so wholesome and goofy. I love this shit. I'm pretty new to understanding D&D, but I've played a little bit since 2006. The cat comment, too. So good.
I had a player choose half orc for dragon of icespire peak Where one of the sidekicks’ entire personality is based around despising orcs She ended up attacking him and being killed the second they entered the tavern Probably wasn’t wise to allow races that weren’t in the icespire peak book
Loving these videos! I've been sending them to my friends who've never played before to help them make their first character. If you wanna make more of these types of videos, I'd love to see one on Backgrounds or Ability Scores to help with the other parts of building your first character.
you are AWESOME! I’m about to start my first campaign and have been terrified of creating my first character, but your videos have made it so much more fun and simple. Thank you thank you THANK YOU! Keep making content please😊
22:22 You know, kids, back in my day, intimidation was based on strength, not charisma. Which makes complete sense. You’re not intimidated by someone because they’re charming, but because you look at them and realise they could really mess you up. It was also the only dialogue skill that was based on strength at all, so that was a nice change - rather than having the one character with high charisma do absolutely *all* of the talking.
Fun fact: Back in the day people played a wargame that had miniatures where they recreated famous battles of the past. Then Tolkien wrote his books and those people started recreating the battles from his books. That's the origin of Dungeons and Dragons. That's why the races are styled after the races from his books.
You're videos really helped me understand how to create a character more! I'm just beginning to get into D&D so it's overwhelming rn and your videos are a nice place to start

For humans +1 to all stats is 6 not 5 (sorry just nit picking) but you also left out the overcompensation Variant human with +1 to 2 stats , 1 skill proficiency, and a starting FEAT (caps for a reason)
Im honestly surprised to hear dragonborn arent very common, i totally thought they'd be one of the most popular. My Dragonborn is a descendant from silver dragons.
Dragonborn are my absolute favourites, I'm always hesitant to try any other races cus i love them too much

2:00 Note though that since Tasha's got released (2020) all races can distribute their ability score improvements in whatever way they want (except base humans). Mordenkainen's (2022) also allows many formerly medium-sized races to also play as a small creature. It's mostly for flavor, but note that a small creature can ride a medium one which might be important for characters who have some sort of an animalistic companion (battle smith, beast master, drakewarden) and a lot of fairly cheap medium animals can also be used as mounts and still go into dungeons.
It would be cool if there were more half-breeds. Imagine a character that's half-Drow and half-Orc! Come to think of it, that sounds like something Ganondorf would be.
A friend of mine played a Tabaxi Tiefling rogue in our previous campaign. An absolute menace. More diverse half-breed characters would be awesome to see.
The D&D 2024 playtest has rules for this. You pick one of your ancestors and use the abilities of that race. Then you can pick a background/feat/skill/class that represents the other ancestor.
It’d be cool to see Aasimar and Eladrin too (my own current races)! I see a lot of dislike toward Aasimar but it’s been a lot of fun so far. Tabaxi would be cool too, I had a friend that played a Tabaxi Tiefling rogue in our last campaign, which was a menace lol.
0:10 that didnt prove you can't see in the dark, you merely said you couldnt see, which is different than not actually being able to see... I'm onto you...
I have a human rogue-bard character that is a professional thief disguised as a jester. He has a surprise iron yo-yo attack that does 1d4 damage and can momentarily stun an opponent (upon successful roll) for a quick escape. I mainly use him in towns and cities for infiltration and information gathering campaigns/missions. There’s almost always a noble or rich merchant willing to hire a tumbling juggling fire breathing joke telling jester and his ability to get close to powerful people makes him good for assassinations and or a disguised bodyguard against assassins.

As someone who has never played D&D or even heard about it irl, because people in India are similar to people who live under the rock when it comes to D&D, even I haven't heard about it besides in 'the big bang theory'. So I dint think that I would be able to find irl people with whom I can play D&D, so I'm only left with online approach. But sadly I can't really find anything about how to play it online.

I enjoy the structure of this video reminds me of a comprehensive version of Jocats crap guides 😂 keep up the good work I’m new to playing dnd and got “the dubious honor of being dm because it was my idea to play with a group of friends that happened to say they were interested and even after 3 full sessions we have yet to have all 4 main players show up and has caused me to have to come up with some rules that apply in game so that I can continue to introduce them to each other” 👈 insert deep godly voice
Somehow my favourite race blends perfectly with my favourite classes. Tiefling with +2 to charisma helps so much with sorcerers and bards and occasional warlocks
14:44 I'm pretty sure depending on the interpretation, even the second 1 is rerolled. I believe the wording is "whenever" which wouldn include a reroll.
“Feel free to make an ugly elf.” In fact, in the Scourge of Worlds movie, a barbarian refers to elf wizard Mialee as “the ugly elf”, which I guess is just because the pre-made character had a charisma score of 8 (-1). But charisma is really more about personality (she’s the loner bookish wizard type, I guess), not about physical appeal - as evident by the fact that elves get a dexterity boost, not a charisma boost (speaking from 3.5 edition rules here, which were in place when Scourge of Worlds was made).

You should make a vid talking about the more Exoric Races and what not, im just getting into DND and my first character is gonna be a Goblin, I've been told most DM's dont mind stuff like it so.
My only clarification here is all the stuff about which specific ability score increases specific races get is completely obsolete and has been for quite a while. All races get a +2 and +1 to whatever ability score the player chooses to allow for more customisation
Not being able to relate to a Dragonborn? I only watched the brief self-narration of the Dark Urge’s background story in Baldur’s Gate III, and his despair over his own actions, combined with the demonstrated will to do better, was enough to make me empathise with him. Completely different to how he comes off in game, when he’s largely silent (or, conversely, grinning in anticipation of the next act of violence).
I home brewed a green dragonborn dwarf named Pudding Snatcher. Most of her abilities were dwarven but my dm let her keep her breath attack and resistance. She basically just looked like a dwarf size dragon born and I love her to bits.
had never played DnD before but wanted to get into it, designed a Tiefling Rogue and then I got BG3. Last minute when making her, I made her a sorceress and BOY did we have fun! (totally didn't romance a rogue or anything though *cough* *cough*) But honestly I loved Tieflings when I read up about them. I relate to them the most tbh.
I just found your content! I hope you're okay and still able to make videos. I'm just getting started on my journey into DND and I'm finding your videos hilarious and helpful
Tlkien creathed the whole concept of elves, dwarves, half lings, even orcs or "goblins" and "goblin men". Every single fantasy game or book or movie or show take from Tolkien's creations. The true father of fantasy :) his world building was so great and well done that we now all benefit from everyone else building off from Tolkien's works and they dont have to think about it, but build from those foundations. Anyway, never been on a campaign of DND or played ever or know much. Since Baldurs Gate 3 came out I've been for the first time looking into it all. Nit a big fan of turn based or table top view and such. But I'm here interested and hopefully be pulled into it
im just starting to get interested in dnd and im playing a dragonborn in our campaign and lorewise they are very flexible and i got to admit they look awesome
In czech WotC approved DnD clone they reworked dragonborn ancestry, so there are 10 ancestries and 10 breath weapons. I always tell players, they can choose whichever rules version they want.
Human ranger rogue monk. His backstory is that he was born into modest wealth as the son of an entrepreneur. When he was a young adult he got lost at sea and spent 5 years stranded on an island where he’d hunt to survive. One day he’d find a passing ship only to discover pirates. After sneaking on board and taking out the pirates he’d sail back home to find his city’s become a cesspool of crime and villainy. His appearance is that of a man wearing a green mask
I'm going to play D&D for the first time in the near future, and I was for sure going to go with Dragonborn. Seems like they're a bit weaker stats-wise, but they're just so cool.
It is so funny to read "D&D" without the edition. In this case it is D&D 5, if I remember correctely. I love the new rules, but I still remember the other editions. I was a Game Master through all these editions (And yes, I know AD&D 😂). I really love the new simplicity of the new D&D, but I will never forget the other ones.
It's interesting how with most of the races you only chose the defult setting versions of them to mention. Eberron has variations of all the base races as well as the Critical roll setting and they're just as interesting as their FR and Greyhawlk equivalents. (Halflings who ride dinosaurs? What's not to love? Oh and Clan Borimar, the Halfling Mafia.)
I think that simply "breaking the racial stereotype" takes away one of the parts that is interesting to explore in roleplay, because without certain racial behaviors, it is just another human with pointy ears and different abilities. Of course, your race should not determine your class/background, but having some behaviors of that race will differentiate you from other races, which is interesting to show the connection with your origins and put emphasis on how your race sees the world. I've had people say to me "you don't have to follow this race stereotype/behavior, play the way you want" but what if i want to follow the race behavior? For example, when I made my Dragonborn character, I took some traits from the race itself and I enjoyed playing that way. It's a good way to start, but there's a greater incentive not to do a roleplay characteristic of a race, distancing the community from experiencing it.

You should make a vid talking about the more Exoric Races and what not, im just getting into DND and my first character is gonna be a Goblin, I've been told most DM's dont mind stuff like it so.
"Every Race!" (Sees nine races.)
Lies! Deceptions!
12:52
Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma.
Which one did you forget while saying this?
My only clarification here is all the stuff about which specific ability score increases specific races get is completely obsolete and has been for quite a while. All races get a +2 and +1 to whatever ability score the player chooses to allow for more customisation
Not being able to relate to a Dragonborn? I only watched the brief self-narration of the Dark Urge’s background story in Baldur’s Gate III, and his despair over his own actions, combined with the demonstrated will to do better, was enough to make me empathise with him. Completely different to how he comes off in game, when he’s largely silent (or, conversely, grinning in anticipation of the next act of violence).
I home brewed a green dragonborn dwarf named Pudding Snatcher. Most of her abilities were dwarven but my dm let her keep her breath attack and resistance. She basically just looked like a dwarf size dragon born and I love her to bits.
"every race in dnd explained"
my metallic/wooden ass:
had never played DnD before but wanted to get into it, designed a Tiefling Rogue and then I got BG3. Last minute when making her, I made her a sorceress and BOY did we have fun! (totally didn't romance a rogue or anything though *cough* *cough*)
But honestly I loved Tieflings when I read up about them. I relate to them the most tbh.
I just found your content! I hope you're okay and still able to make videos. I'm just getting started on my journey into DND and I'm finding your videos hilarious and helpful
YOUR NAME IS ALPHAGNOME! THOUGHT GNOMES WOULD BE YOUR FAVORITE
Would love to see another video coming other classes, like I understand what lich is, but is that it’s own class or a subclass?
Also what stats do😮
You deserve so much more subscribers
Tlkien creathed the whole concept of elves, dwarves, half lings, even orcs or "goblins" and "goblin men". Every single fantasy game or book or movie or show take from Tolkien's creations. The true father of fantasy :) his world building was so great and well done that we now all benefit from everyone else building off from Tolkien's works and they dont have to think about it, but build from those foundations. Anyway, never been on a campaign of DND or played ever or know much. Since Baldurs Gate 3 came out I've been for the first time looking into it all. Nit a big fan of turn based or table top view and such. But I'm here interested and hopefully be pulled into it
I’ve been waiting on you to drop some heat 🔥
im just starting to get interested in dnd and im playing a dragonborn in our campaign and lorewise they are very flexible and i got to admit they look awesome
Explaining every race: oh?
... from the player handbook: oh...
In czech WotC approved DnD clone they reworked dragonborn ancestry, so there are 10 ancestries and 10 breath weapons. I always tell players, they can choose whichever rules version they want.
6:10 I…. I thought I just wasn’t aware of an Elf remake with Butler instead of Ferrell coming out at some point
Why build me up just to knock me down?
I’m playing a Dragonborn Warlock in BG3 rn and loving it so much
Human ranger rogue monk. His backstory is that he was born into modest wealth as the son of an entrepreneur. When he was a young adult he got lost at sea and spent 5 years stranded on an island where he’d hunt to survive. One day he’d find a passing ship only to discover pirates. After sneaking on board and taking out the pirates he’d sail back home to find his city’s become a cesspool of crime and villainy. His appearance is that of a man wearing a green mask
I'm going to play D&D for the first time in the near future, and I was for sure going to go with Dragonborn. Seems like they're a bit weaker stats-wise, but they're just so cool.
D&D is more than stats. It is primary a role-playing game. Don't think only about min-maxing
@@koutouloufas7 I just said I'd play Dragonborn despite it being weaker, doesn't that suggest that I think roleplay is more important anyway?
@@Voxdalian yeah, i agree with you. You should not even mention stats, RP is what matters
@@koutouloufas7 That sounds like strange advice. I'd still like to be okay at whatever I'm doing.
@@Voxdalian you will be ok if you enjoy the game.
Can You do a video to how make a character sheet?
What about the terrasque? Surely the do will let me play as that!
Me watching this holding the Character sheet paper in my hand
It is so funny to read "D&D" without the edition. In this case it is D&D 5, if I remember correctely. I love the new rules, but I still remember the other editions. I was a Game Master through all these editions (And yes, I know AD&D 😂). I really love the new simplicity of the new D&D, but I will never forget the other ones.
Amazing video, love dragonborns
Fun fact -Most dnd races can move only 2 feet per turn due to the fact they only have two feet
when are you coming back? i desperately need more of your dnd content my good sir
Imagine a character who was the height of an elf but was actually 3-4 dwarfs all stacked up in a trench coat
It's interesting how with most of the races you only chose the defult setting versions of them to mention. Eberron has variations of all the base races as well as the Critical roll setting and they're just as interesting as their FR and Greyhawlk equivalents. (Halflings who ride dinosaurs? What's not to love? Oh and Clan Borimar, the Halfling Mafia.)
I think that simply "breaking the racial stereotype" takes away one of the parts that is interesting to explore in roleplay, because without certain racial behaviors, it is just another human with pointy ears and different abilities. Of course, your race should not determine your class/background, but having some behaviors of that race will differentiate you from other races, which is interesting to show the connection with your origins and put emphasis on how your race sees the world. I've had people say to me "you don't have to follow this race stereotype/behavior, play the way you want" but what if i want to follow the race behavior? For example, when I made my Dragonborn character, I took some traits from the race itself and I enjoyed playing that way. It's a good way to start, but there's a greater incentive not to do a roleplay characteristic of a race, distancing the community from experiencing it.
Babe, wake up! Alphagnome just made a new video!! 🎉. Jkjk nice video though man :>
I have a tiefling character with sad backstory and I am looking forward to play with him 🥳
Would love a background video... your videos are awesome and informative.
15:54 ah yes the RuneScape gnome song!
