I have characters in Mind.
Fighter/Eld Knight - Drow Eld Knight.
Cleric - Drow Lolth - Because Lolth is best.
Paladin - Dwarf
Wizard - Any -
Warlock - Tiefling
Ranger - Half-elf
Monk - Gnome or Halfling
Sorc - Always be human
Druid - Elf or Half-Elf
Barbarian - Dwarf or Gith
Bard - Half-orc *if we get them*
Rogue - Human or Drow
Some of my builds will be very suboptimal.
I play for characters to answer your question. I am not a min maxer in D&D. Tabletop it's much more fun to RP as something ODD rather then just be a min/maxer. BG3 I take that same mindset. Even if you can't fully RP it, I just find it more fun.
