    elf if i have to be something, tiefling if its who im doing a fling with

    cause in dnd elves can change sexual organs and gender at will and live 500+ years without aging, which ngl sounds super lit

      This a solid answer

      Can there be elf tieflings if an elf fucks a succubus or something, cause being a devil girl with all the elf perks sounds pretty lit

                also, tbh, being a tiefling sounds like a pain in the ass. i cant wear shoes anymore, i have to poke holes in all my clothes for wings and tails, and hats and hoodies are canceled? also sleeping with a tail, wings, and horns must be difficult. nah thanks ill just take the cute pointy ears and cool magic stuff like teleporting

        if an elf fucks a succubus

        Half-fiends are referred to as Cambions in 5e. I can't find a single example of one dying of natural causes though, so word's out on what their lifespan is.

        yeah but if you are a high elf you can cast prestidigitation which means you can become the best chef, cleaner, artist, and more, on the planet, so a lot of your depression issues would likely not be an issue anymore

        like you could clean your entire house to be spotless within 5 minutes and make baked beans taste like lobster. you can instantly create objects that you can imagine in your head, and this can be any sort of art. just take a picture of it within 6 seconds cause itll disappear.

    Neither I’m making a home brew race for my fursona and none of rule-abiding fucks can stop me >:3

    What's to discuss? Elves are just pointy-eared humans, whereas tieflings are the classic vehicle for someone exploring their sexuality.

      I mean Link was one of my sexual awakenings as a kid (if you consider hylians enough like elves) but I've never found a tiefling attractive

    ngl I'm a bit of a fuddy duddy and I think most of the non-LOTR ripoff races that aren't direct products of the setting (like Warforged) are kinda lame, like Tieflings were put in to placate edgelords who get told they can't play drow by their DM for setting reasons, and catfolk are just there to market the game to furries and cat-ear wearers.

    I dunno, I guess I don't see D&D characters as a set of self-identifying signifiers, I did at one point for sure so it's not like I don't get it, but it doesn't lead to good narrative or group dynamics so I think it's something that broadly should be grown out of, and definitely not something that should be encouraged by the rule book.

    EDIT: I hope nobody who likes Tieflings or whatever thinks I'm trying to shit on them for the thing they like, I'm not, I just think that table top games should be more "let's build a story together" and less "I'm a cool demon person"

        Yeah his plus show seems to have introduced a ton of new people who are gonna do exactly what I talked about

        "guise aren't I cool I'm a TIEFLING BLOOD HUNTER"

        I'm sure they'll grow out of it after a while, but they're gonna be annoying AF until they do

            Yeah I mean D&D was definitely already growing with the nerd-consumer-identity people but that show was a big shot in the arm for it

        The Divinity series elves are some of my favorite elves. They’re tall and lanky, but in a very creepy skeletal way instead of a “creepy writer imagining a hot woman” way and can inherit other people’s memories by eating their flesh and they grow into plants when they die. So instead of standard fantasy elves, you have these scary magical cannibals who live in forests composed of their ancestors

        Yes! I love whenever I play through D:OS as an elf and am just munching on hands, feet, eyeballs, etc and getting glimpses via inherited memory at how the poor person managed to wind up as my meal. 10/10 lore.
