Every race has some sort of almost magical talent. Elves are natural wizards, dwarves are connected to the mountains Humans can, and will, breed with anything. Especially if they're bards

@heathenpride7931 2 жыл бұрын

Don’t forget they breed like rabbits which is why they are the most common race

In my headcannon, the special skill of humans is actually be able to breed with any other sentient creature

I sometimes have to make myself NOT play a human when I do get to play. I almost always play human just because of how mutable they are and aggressive they have to be to get stuff done. In my games there is usually a palpable disdain between humans and elves because humans see elves as aloof and lazy. "What do you mean do nothing about the bugbears? I dont care if they will eventually take themselves out; I may be old and retired by then, elf!"

If I remember correctly in forgotten realms humans are technically an elder race. They evolve naturally as a part of the world during the Days of Thunder.

In the homebrew world that I'm working on, the reason there is no human god is because they're from the Far Realm originally. Their ancient ancestors were a race of aberrations with the ability to adapt to their environment that came to the Prime Material when the ancient high elves opened the Vast Gate. Their adaptability allowed them to thrive and over countless generations became humanoid and lost their aberrant traits, but their ability to breed with elves and orcs and also be born as genasi, aasimar or tieflings is a vestige of their ancestors' adaptability. This is something only a handful of people know for a fact, but the elves have suspicions because humans weren't around prior to the Vast Gate Incident, and that explains the elves' distaste for humanity

Another thing to consider no matter how prolific humans are in your setting is how other races view their abilities. Are they pitied as being less strong/intelligent/magically skilled than other races, or has their adaptability earned them respect or even fear from more specialized races?

I've been putting together a homebrew and was stuck with what to do with humans. Then I had the idea of them being prototype mortals taking inspiration from Norse myth where each God added a part to them. ( Thor spat in the bowl ) Edit: also why everything is called "humanoid"

No. Terry Brooks work state, Elves always existed. Dwarves, trolls and Gnomes are mutant humans. I think Demons are different ,but I forgot.

Humans seem to be defined in the negative. They are defined by being not an Elf, Dwarf etc.

@evangregory14 5 жыл бұрын

thats because were defining elves dwarves etc by how theyre different from us, the players, which just happen to be human

Off the top of my head: Humans + Elf = Half-Elf Humans + Dwarf= Mul Humans + Celestial= Aasimar Humans + Devil= Cambion Humans + Fiendish blooded Humanoid= Tiefling Humans + Genie= Genasi Humans + Orc= Half-Orc Humans + Dragon= Half Dragon

Thanks Will, Brian and Scattered Planes. Sorry to bother with a follow up question, but... Are any of those hybrids able to crossbreed with one another? I promise I'm asking for a genuine gaming purpose.

@Thedungeoncast 5 жыл бұрын

Let's see. I don't think Muls can breed at all. Depending on your setting Tieflings either breed true or the fiendish blood randomly expresses itself throughout the bloodline. As for the others interbreeding with each other I don't think there is any definitive answer to your question. So it's up to you.

In my old group we had a strange mix of characters that frequently challenged perceived images about how the races are supposed to be. We had a tiefling monk that was a total sweetheart, kind and compassionate. She would risk her life to rescue bottom feeders to show them a better life. My character was a gay elf ranger who developed depression after suffering at the hands of his faerie boyfriend. He loved his friends who broke him out of the rut, and he died saving them from a thunderbird/roc. We had a shy and anxious dragonborn barbarian who greatly enjoyed mud wrestling. We had a gnome rogue scout who vomits on dopplegangers. We had a pacifist half eladrin druid who had an affinity for healing and water magic. In battle he would stop his allies from being murder hobos and gained extra exp helping enemy redshirts run away from the barbarian. And last of all we had a human bard who was an exclusive carnivore. His instrument was a cow bell.

Are you serious!!! Edit: In my Homebrew world humans have a lore so one of the ancient deity atsel the first goddess created the material plain, Fay, and Shadow fell and created humans and we're the first race wile the other ancient deites created the upper plains and the other gods but she turned out to not only be the last ancient god left but also corrupted to protect her humans... That is the human lore.

Humans are the worst. They nitpick about the rules, some aren't very good at roleplaying and are always on their phones. I'd much rather play DnD with Dragonborn, Gnomes and Elves.
