>Halflings to do the farming>Dwarves to do the smithing and mining>Gnomes to do the researching>Elves to do magic>Humans to do the fighting (and thus, the ruling)This seems the obvious perfect order to things. Humans don't want to be the peasant farmers, we want to be the knights and lords, but somebody has to farm, somebody has to smith, etc. Why not have the other races do the menial peasant stuff that they specialize in anyways?
>>97251874Ever play Songs of Syx?
>>97251874Why not have four different human backgrounds with those specialisations, and dump the cliche races?

>>97251917Or, just have a peasant class. They existed for almost all of history.
>>97251874I can offer a muhc more orderly placement for your gnomes. Its hell.
>>97251874>humans are the rare, shadowy race who rules the kingdoms from behind closed doorsBased
>>97251874Hey dude we have a worldbuilding general. Come over there we'd love to have you!
>>97251874You're retarded OP
>>97251874No, I want to mine, farm, and make machines.
>>97251916kek had the same thought
>>97251874rulers don't fight, they sit around and tell people to do stuff
>>97251874Only psychopaths want to fight and rule. And then the peasant revolts happen and the leaders undergo humiliation rituals that forever emasculate their legacy. Deserved end.
