you dont, this was a problem with 5e that is only now being addressed. The stat distribution of races sort of pidgeon holes them into different classes for players that are concerned with min-maxing (which is quite a few). Season 10 D&D lets the players put the state points in whatever stats they want. So your Drow could straightup have +2int +1con if you wanted to just be a wizard drow with ideal stats.


this game will not be that way, so expect to play a Ranger, Rogue, Monk, Warlock, Sorc or Paladin if you want to pick Drow as your race and reach 16 in your main stat
