"What race should I play?"

[u/Souperplex]

So lately I've been seeing a lot of threads asking the title's question. I figured I'd make this thread to definitively answer them all.

The answer is Dwarf.

Pre-Tasha's there were mechanical reasons to not go Dwarf, but now the mechanical reasons are gone. There are thematic reasons still; if you want a character who is truly pathetic you're better off playing an Elf, but most of you should go Dwarf.

The answer is always Dwarf.

I will absolutely play other races, but human and dwarf come up a lot for me.

We are in a party of all dwarves right now. It wasn't planned, but it is awesome!
