I’m really liking 5th Edition so far, although I’m just at the “reading the Players’ Handbook” stage. I was surprised by the lack of a quick reference chart for racial stat bonuses in the book, and on the Web. So I made one.
Cleric: +2 to WIS is quite a rare racial bonus, the extra spells are great. The STR will help if you are going for a Heavy Armor Cleric build. Druid: Firbolgs are extremely conducive to being a Druid. Their Speech of Beast and Leaf, bonus to WIS and extra spells are extremely synergistic.
In case anyone else finds it handy, here’s a link to the Google Doc.
Looking it over, I’m struck by a few interesting things:
- 47 votes, 34 comments. Hey guys, I made a pdf chart of all the 5th edition races and subraces so fa. Figured i would share - Edit.
- At some point in your Dungeons & Dragons 5E career, you’re going to be asked to make an attack roll. Every single class has the potential to attack and deal damage. But, some types of attack are flat-out confusing. Let’s go over them all and learn how to calculate attack bonus 5E. How to Calculate Attack Bonus 5e.
- There are 5 choices with +2 to Dex, but they’re really just 2 races (Elf and Halfling)
- Three races (Mountain Dwarf, Dragonborn and Half-Orc) have +2 to Strength
- Only Dwarves have +2 Con
- Only Gnomes have +2 Int
- Nobody has +2 to Wisdom. That kind of hoses Clerics a bit, but I think it may be a deliberate choice to make them playable for any race.
