I’ve been looking at the core races in #dnd (those in the Players Handbook) and… well does anyone else think that most of them are incredibly underwhelming and the gameplay balance overall is completely off? 😖
(I know a lot of folks pick for aesthetic/lore which is ♥️) My current philosphy for a reworked "Core Races" set would be to actually limit ALL races to two primary traits. One major (a super cool & useful thing you can do all the time or X times per day) and one minor (a cool flavour/situational ability).

Add to this removing Darkvision from ALL races except those that have Sunlight Sensitivity, and ditching fixed Ability Score Increases and using the Lineage method.
