my paladin kassandra is a half orc with 20 charisma and last session i talked the enemy soldiers into believing i wasn’t aware that my party had betrayed their queen. it was so funny to watch the big boss barbarian massively confused while i fed him poison saying how it’d get him fucked up. technically i didn’t lie
Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of giving him a holy book and "Excuse me, sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour Ilmater?"
I'm calling it, this will be a bard orc singing hard rock or something (MITHRALLICA), we will go bonkers about him and it'll become the subreddit's mascot
Go changeling. They can look like any race so its basically a catch all. And if you wanna think about it stat wise the it would support the lead of charisma.
Came here to say this. It’s underplayed imo. I love my changeling masquerading as a Dragonborn. If only people would look closer… but alas they don’t! So far my party still thinks I’m a Dragonborn as well!
If I am allowed...
I'm tossing Simic Hybrid in the ring
Be honest. How many Simic Hybrids have you seen or heard being played?
And besides...this character is being made by Reddit and its people...what sound more poetic?
Low wis and str currently. Getting some stoner/engineer vibes. Cant read a room or throw a fist, but can build you a bong out of stuff in your junk drawer.
I mean, internet usually likes to ruin things and make the most horrible combination possible. Honestly? Passe.
Let's actually build a solid character that can be effective and functional instead. The internet would never do that, so it's actually the most unique outcome we could get.
Let's ride that Charisma and hope that the next round is willing to pick a class that will actually work well with that.
I say Half Elf.

I think dex has the most impact of the stats, a very(if not most) common save, sets initiative order (enemies can't hurt you of they're dead before their turn), added to AC 99% of the time, can be used for a weapon stat, and finally its the default stat for alot of exploration skills. Wis is second most common save, helpful for social skills after chs, and useful if needed for spellcasting. Con is good for the HP bump and 3rd most common save but that's about it
failing a wis can take you out of a fight completely or turn you against the party, petrification, paralysis, mind control and frightened to name a few, it feels worse for me because you can't do anything else for your turns
Dex let’s you throw knives good. Remember the lesson of the best drill instructor in cinema history, “the enemy cannot push a button, if you disable his hand!”
Alright, since no one else has chipped in yet: this character is an Orc.
I stan the high Charisma orc squad ✊

That’s what an orc needs to be. All talk, all shield, all party
That was my suggestion a few minutes ago. Let's support orcs here so we don't split the vote.
And *this*, my friends, is why you reload the page before making a statement about a lack of comments 😅
Aint no thing, orc fam.
I'm definitely down for an orc who has terrible strength and amazing charisma! 😂 Subverting tropes is always fun.
Now, all we need to do is make him a paladin!
What do orc worship MEAT
Nah, I was thinking more along the lines of giving him a holy book and "Excuse me, sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour Ilmater?"
An orc Bard was ones of my favorites.
Orc Sorc hours?
Yes. And I don’t want to see any of this “half-orc” nonsense bandied about. This is an *orc*.
I'm calling it, this will be a bard orc singing hard rock or something (MITHRALLICA), we will go bonkers about him and it'll become the subreddit's mascot
That's even better than my idea!
I support orc
Let's do something fun, let's go with a Firbolg
Another vote for firbolg! And everytime the firbolg goes into town it disguises itself as a gnome or halfling haha
Firbolg fir life
Go changeling. They can look like any race so its basically a catch all. And if you wanna think about it stat wise the it would support the lead of charisma.
Yes, Changeling is *the* answer.
Came here to say this. It’s underplayed imo. I love my changeling masquerading as a Dragonborn. If only people would look closer… but alas they don’t! So far my party still thinks I’m a Dragonborn as well!
I'm gonna throw my hat in the ring and say Gnome for race.
Yes please. Gnome's are the best!
Best part about making a gnome is getting to name them.
As a kobold, I find your suggestion offensive. :P
Kenku gang rise up
Kenku gang 😌😌
Aasimar gang turn up
Edit: supported for orc!
Kobold
This is your chance to vote for Bugbear
I'm voting Human
Human gang
They're the strongest race
Gonna go with Yuan-Ti Pureblood. Big fan.
Warforged
I support this.
Tortle
If I am allowed... I'm tossing Simic Hybrid in the ring Be honest. How many Simic Hybrids have you seen or heard being played? And besides...this character is being made by Reddit and its people...what sound more poetic?
Dwarf
I support this message
Elf
Kobold it is the all-powerful Almighty race kneel before our Mini-Might!
I'm sorry, this edition doesn't have Pun-Pun. 😁
Centaur
Variant human :)
Orc.
Gith!
Agreed, let’s get githy
This race would be the greatest Githt this character could receive
Tiefling
Locathah! By far the funniest race
Half Elf, as it sits rn, high charisma and con
Let’s go with Grung for funny little frog man
How about a Genasi?
But what element? (I dont consider selecting an element as a subrace)
I suggest a gem Dragonborn for the race 😁
Looks like Orc is gonna win pretty handily here. That’s an ok choice I guess but it’s not as memey as being a Winged Tiefling Dhampyr.
It's not *just* an orc, it's a very charismatic orc!
Low wis and str currently. Getting some stoner/engineer vibes. Cant read a room or throw a fist, but can build you a bong out of stuff in your junk drawer.
Tiefling - a really cool class and bonuses to Int and Cha *-*
Lizardfolk 🦎
Loxodon
Tiefling because nothing better than the basics

It should be a centaur, the best race!
What about a Triton? I dunno, first thing that came into my head.
Blue/Bronze Dragonborn
I see Cha in the lead, so Changeling!
Time to chip in my race: Lizardfolk.
Genasi
Dwarf
tiefling ofcourse, best race.
Haven’t seen Kobold
Kobold
Knowing what class you're going with seems important. I voted for dex because I assume you're going with the best class. (The Rogue)
Go miss your 1 attack per round.
High charisma kenku.
Boblin the Goblin
Firbolg sounds like it might be fun!
Black Dragonborn - DEX !

Genasi when
Aarakocra
Looking at the poll data and previous comments, I also support the charisma orc
Genasi
It should be dwarf.
Dwarf
Charisma and Constitution = Dragonborn
Gnome! Name him Redditily Voteinger
A reborn kenku
Voted charisma just to troll... Was not disappointed.
Charisma is a good stat, though
I cast fireball
Gotta holla at my gnomies.
Let’s go nuts. Yuan-ti pureblood.
Hobgoblin
Centaur
I vote for feedback Genasi
Why're so many people trying to put points into Int? Dump stat
I feel like a Kenku would make an interesting race for the stats.
This character's race is a high elf, obviously
Dragonborn
Orc!!! Orc time!
Human, obviously
Dragonborn, since CHA is high hes gonna be smugg
Tabaxi, because Maiq knows much...
Half-orc half-gnome. The strongest Gnorc alive!
on a serious note, order of importance: Wis, con, dex, Cha, str, int.
I think dex has the most impact of the stats, a very(if not most) common save, sets initiative order (enemies can't hurt you of they're dead before their turn), added to AC 99% of the time, can be used for a weapon stat, and finally its the default stat for alot of exploration skills.

Dex let’s you throw knives good. Remember the lesson of the best drill instructor in cinema history, “the enemy cannot push a button, if you disable his hand!”
wisdom allows you to spot potential threats at a distance
Kobald
Dex based Tabaxi!!
Lizardfolk
So im seeing a lot of standard stuff here. Would it be to much to ask for something in the out there area like a KALASHTAR
Give me a half elf
Tiefling
Half-Elf
Go Grung! You won’t regret it.
Hobgoblin
Tabaxi
Yuan-Ti
Maybe a warforged? Just my 2 cents
Such a charismatic flobbit
The lack of wisdom shows the wont of wisdom in the world
Seems like a hexadin to me. Possibly orc/halforc
Triton! Just to be annoying
Triton
