Dungeons and Dragons: Tell me about a fantasy race. I'll either port it to D&D, or tell you a race similar enough to it.

[Mr. Bambu]

Alright, I did my best with the Duk'zarist but I cannot guarantee I properly understood, as the source given to me used terms from Anima. Still, I think it suffices.

The Duk'zarist Race for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e) - D&D Beyond

Duk'zarist are inhuman children of darkness- graceful, proud, and elitist, their people are known for their love of magic and power. They find both in great quantities, while they simply ignore those weaker than themselves. They bear long, pointed ears, crimson eyes, and skin ...

Seems pretty fine for a minimalistic version of a duk. In principle they are forced to have access to magic or psionics (doesn't not means they need to get few specific classes, as classes in anima are just templates), and, I believe pc does not have powers that enhance the healing rate, right?

 

[Livinmeme]

The gems are also made of ligth BTW but still pyhisical

 

[deonment]

The angels from evangelion

 

[DaReaperMan]

The angels from evangelion

Weeb shit.

 

[Livinmeme]

Weeb shit.

But is some good weeb shit

Also the original evangelion is anti escapism so is the supreme anti web shit so take it as you want

 

[Shmooply]

anti-escapism
has a fuckton of merchandise (consumerism is a worser form of escapism)

What did he mean by this?

 

[Shmooply]

No, wait, I worded my post wrong. Ignore that.

 

[Livinmeme]

The original till capitalism come, but i will leave because i will sound like a edgy kid who probally puts USR athem at max volume at the bus.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Weeb shit.

Evangelion is above weeb shit. Genuinely enjoyed it, it was the anime I chose to watch this year. That said, angels cannot really work as a player race.

lemme guess, at fields + regen too stronk?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

That, and the fact that they're hundreds of meters tall each, barring Nagisa who is an exception. Nothing about them really fits into what makes a player race, even moreso than goofy submissions like the Weeping Angels. I can make anything weaker for balancing purposes, but the Angels just don't make sense.

 

[Livinmeme]

Can i proposse Black mage races????..... Okay that is a joke

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Anyways continuing the thread

The Kuriboh Race for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e) - D&D Beyond

The kuriboh are a strange form of monster spirit from an unknown land. Despite appearances, they are not particularly malicious, and can even serve as guides and allies in combat. A select few kuriboh decide to engage in adventures- for some reason, they seem drawn to items su...

I have no idea what class they are best suited towards, probably a caster, given the stat boosts.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

elves from Lord of the rings

can we have them bambu?

 

[Antoniofer]

Aren't those elves essentially the same as the ones that appear in DnD?

well if you don't want that

can we get gorons from legend of zelda

What about as a type of Boss Monster? Probably still too broken but it's an interesting idea to me.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Ehh. Building-sized monsters aren't technically unheard of in 5e

Spoiler: 5e Module Spoilers

In Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, there exist massive colossi from previous editions that, while smaller than an Angel or Eva Unit, may well provide a good starting point for statting one out.

So possible, I guess.

The Shokan Race for Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) Fifth Edition (5e) - D&D Beyond

Shokan are semi-reptilian beings born from a biological mixture of dragon and human genetics. The resulting creature was massive, powerfully built, and utterly ruthless- some might say a perfect warrior. They hail from another dimension, wherein they serve their leaders in a c...

Alrighty, some work for today: I like these guys. They would make frankly excellent martial characters due to raw stats and the fact they can multi-wield many weapons (what with having four arms). This alone makes them a top-notch martial, even considering the downsides I've added to it.

Still never touching Warcraft outside of what I've done because **** Activision Blizzard.

I'm impressed, I don't know much about DnD mechanics but you got the description and alignment right.

Incredibly late but what about an Enderman race?

Mr. Bambu what do you think about Gorons from LOZ in DnD?

or HIlichurls from genshin impact?

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Incredibly late but what about an Enderman race?

Could be interesting. Probably would need to cut their teleportation down from "infinite" but otherwise, there are some neat ideas that could be done there.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

Mr. Bambu what do you think about Gorons from LOZ in DnD?

Well **** Genshin Impact so I'll probably take the Gorons if it comes down to it. I suspect they'll be largely reminiscent of an Earth Genasi mixed with a Goliath.

 

[Lou_change]

It probably has something similar to Goring Rush instead of merge with stone or mountain born

Nice.

what the heck is wrong with genshin impact?

it's a nice game mr. bambu


besides hilichurls are a type of goblin

 

[Crabwhale]

what the heck is wrong with genshin impact?

Gacha.

 

[Artorimachi_Meteoraft]

Gacha.

but hilichurls and waifu's

 

[Crabwhale]

I think both of those are downsides to Bambs. Very big ones too.

 

[azontr]

Reject waifus. Embrace dark fantasy.

nah it should be the other way around.

No it isn't. Acquire taste.

Reject waifus. Embrace dark fantasy.

This is the way, yes.

 

[Naito-desu]

Genshin is bad but I also like hot women as my N'kari profile demonstrates.

Speaking of N'kari, Daemonettes from Warhammer?
