What is the most acceptable/least egregious freakshit race ?
>>98850354Dragonborn also have multiple colors based on which colored dragons they descend from, I think?
>>98850354This is a really bad venn diagram. Goblins likely have the least colour variation in your bog standard dnd compared to the other two. Tieflings with sharp teeth would be quite normal. There's a tail on the goblin in the picutre they used but not in the tails section. The joke that everyone ignores the book for all things? Doesn't land well because of the other inconsistencies in the part that is suppose to e consistent.
>>98850354Elf
>Most EgregiousKender. The 'I'm not fucking her, I'm just resting my dick inside her' of fantasy races>Least EgregiousTieflings if done in 2e style where they're actual randomly genned freaks rather than standardized 'Hey ho, I got horns' shitters.If they're standardized, Aasimar beat them out for cool factor alone.
>>98850354Elves.Everything except humans is freakshit.
>>98850354Dragonborn are based and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
Ask five people what "freakshit" is, and you'll get a dozen different answers.
>>98850354Even Half-Elves in 3.5 Forgotten Realms aren't really accepted. Given there even some interracial / interspecies racism, maybe none, lol.
>>98850354Of these three? Goblins. People don't often go for goblins that are as savage and evil as the book suggests, but there is at least some willingness to have them act like a bit of a monster or gremlin. They're typically more willing to have their goblin sneak about civilized areas, or pose as the party's underling. Guards are less likely to freak out about a lone goblin, and even less so if they're disguised as a halfling.They're also more likely to play guttersnipes or wilderness survivalists. Rogues and Rangers who exist on the fringes of civilized society, and so the player already considers them as more of a criminal or outcast.
>>98850494Only in 5E.
>>98851653Dragonborn in 4e come in multiple colors too, but their color doesn't reflect their dragon ancestry or their breath weapon.
>>98850596>t never played with goblinfags.Every goblin fag i played with wants to have their goblin to be some special OC color.
>>98850354Tieflings. Goblins in nuFantasy are just "halflings but racismed against and also pedobait!" Dragonborn are mary sue tier and totally uninteresting. Tieflings have been the poster boy for "muh special snowflake defying prejudice" for a couple decades now since drow fell out of public nerd consciousness but at least they're sometimes still played as they were initially conceptualized and have an actually interesting background unlike scalies.
>>98850354In my personal experience? Tabaxi. Full furry race one would think that would bring out full furfag behavior, so far 100% of my experience with those that play them have been people playing them as straight up Khajiit clones (so Romani stand-ins) with even more cat behavior (yarn obsession, distracted by bugs in a fights, etc).Kenku are always terrible though.
>>98852591I once played a Kenku that was basically an autistic kid with trauma.So I played an autistic kid.
>>98852554Ran a campaign where the entire party had to be goblins. You just tell them the colour range. If you're stuck with a fanboy of a particular memerace you're already fucked though.
Dwarves
>>98850354An immortal character is freakier than a cat-person that will experience life as long as I do.
>>98850884This, they are incredibly based.
>>98850354Anything but tieflings, they're the donut steel/"I want to be a complete asshole" race
>>98850354From my experience bugbear, I've never had a problem with a player playing one, they've always been rather understanding and expecting of racism against them and never created problems by being too lazy or too much of an asshole or anything. Of the 3 in the chart Dragonborns I've encountered are by far the most clues players ever, shout out to that one time I DM for one who was playing the exceedingly stereotypically Dragonborn Paladin of Bahamut and could not understand why their original holy symbol burned them to the touch while they were working as an ally to a blue dragon wyrmling who was stuck in the underdark with them and was willing to work with the party to escape the underdark.
>>98850846Elves aren't freakshit. Tolkien races are what are considered standard races.There's a few honorary members of this package, Goliaths being one of those in my book.When /tg/ says freakshit, we're commonly reffering to monstrous races that would freak the fuck out of the average Joe and Dixie Dirtfarmers would they roll up into their village
>>98852554Well, the one time I did play a goblin binder back in 3.5 days, he was blue.Granted, it was because I rolled shit stats and picked some obscure elemental racial variant (and older age category) to make the character usable.It was also Eberron game, so goblins weren't considered freakshit there. He got more grief from other goblins (for being fucking blue) than from humans.
