DND 5e TipsMinotaur 5e - Race Guide for Dungeons and DragonsMinotaur 5e Class Guide: https://www.skullsplitterdice.com/blogs/dnd/minotaur-5e
Minotaurs are downright iconic. Bullheaded monsters that stalk the labyrinth and hunt down those foolish enough to challenge their deadly maze. That whole “monster” thing has largely fallen by the wayside though, as we have playable minotaurs in both Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica and Mythic Odysseys of Theros. They’re big, angry, and ready to charge into your adventures like a bull in a china shop. Try to keep track of all the twists and turns in this maze as we go through everything you need to know.

DND 5e TipsHalfling 5e - Races for Dungeons and DragonsHalfling 5e Race Guide: https://www.skullsplitterdice.com/blogs/dnd/halfing-5e
When most new players think about halflings, oftentimes the first image that comes up are hobbits from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" & "The Lord of the Rings." While there are definitely many common traits borrowed from this source material, to assume the halfling 5e race are just like hobbits is to diminish everything this race brings to the table. While they are often overlooked by many players, that is an unfortunate mistake. This small race might be short in stature but they have a wide array of...2020-08-2506 min

Human 5e. Even in most fantasy worlds they are the most common, or one of the most common races, and often seen as a fascinating enigma among the other races of the D&D world. Elves shake their heads at the impetuous and often short-sighted decision making of this race that comes and goes in a mere century, but can't help but to be impressed with the great things many manage to achieve in such a short time. Dwarves marvel at the trading empires many humans build while...2020-08-2105 min

ELEPHANTINE HEROES!
Loxodon are the elephant-folk of D&D, massive, kind, stubbornly loyal, and only occasionally given to bouts of beating smaller creatures into a pulp. Not native to Toril or any of the other standard adventuring locales, loxodon 5e hail from Ravnica, and are really better described as a Magic: The Gathering race that have poked their trunks into the D&D world.
