As such, a Goliath fighter not only has natural benefits, which are highly useful but also a strong drive to become the 'best' fighter among his kin. Goliaths are a giant-race who live in the mountains and rocky hills, and who are highly competitive. My choice: With +2 Strength, +1 Constitution and Stone´s endurance make Goliaths great fighters. Their job is to kill and kill quickly, but they must also be able to follow orders and work in large armies. Neither particularly intelligent, nor skilled in other tasks, fighters are experts in all types of combat, and their entire lives are lived in the perfection of their craft. Fighterīest Stat Based Choice: Human, Goliath or Dwarfįighters are the shock troops of Dungeons and Dragons. Instead, I've arranged the combos from most popular to least popular class, as determined by the D&D Beyond list of most popular character classes and races.

Some options are outright better than others. It should be noted that 5th Edition Dungeons and Dragons does not abide by any strict balance standards. Each race includes sections on the races flavor and concept, the races traits. So I am not discussing why humans are the best race to play. existing playable races, and use all the same rules. Also, in 5e, Humans are the most advantageous race of all with a +1 on all their statistics. In my search for the best combos of race/class, I found a great deal of debate and very few facts, so these combos are based, in part on game mechanics, but mostly on my own opinion. Please also note that I am using all the expansion races. Please note that I am not including multi-class or specialist classes, only the basic ones. That is perfectly progressive, and so, to celebrate this racial diversity, I present to you my choices for the best race to be played for every class in D&D. Monsters who previously had room only as NPCs, now can become part of the adventure permanently and become the star of the show. The 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons has introduced some fabulous chances to play different races as Player Characters.
