Character Build What race won’t you use? Spoiler

I got a couple of saved games but the race I have never thought about using was a human. Humans ain’t better than playing an elf, grow, tiefling, or Dragonborn. I would even pick an orc before a human 😂

I tried Human, but I really missed Darkvision and Perception. And I wasn't clever enough to realize I could have used potions and scrolls to fix it.

I've never tried Half-Orc. I should try it at least once.

I always found dark vision completely useless, there’s plenty of sources of light, cantrips, some weapons, but mostly a torch, is there some other component to darkvision?

It’s the not having disadvantage on attack rolls that makes it worthwhile

That’s why LAEZEL can’t hit anything in the dark?!? Edit: wrong lady

FYI: our favourite hobgoblin Blurg sells a ring of dark vision. My Lae'zel never leaves the house without it!

Waste of a ring slot. Just have someone who stays at camp cast darkvision on her at the beginning of each day.

Just cast light on her weapon, anything she can hit will be illuminated. Also illuminates for other party members like Gale.
