Worst race is any race that isn't the standard fantasy fare in a fantasy game. Like you always have elf human dwarf but then they throw in like draenei or something. gently caress that. Well, thri-kreen were kinda cool. Also the lazy mode of "animal person" for race is up there with lovely races. Then again, thri-kreen were cool.

Do you guys remember trying to find balmora? poo poo was nuts. And on the way you'd stumble into cannible cults?

It was like my second play through before I realized I could take a giant walking flee.

I played a wood elf for a while until I realized they were like four feet tall. This is my power fantasy and I want to be at least average height damnit.

I also found the boots of blinding speed which was p dope. Same with the scroll of icariane flight or w/e. Magic blew in that game. My dumb child brain couldn't get past the fact that I had to "touch" people for most of my spells. I mostly just stole glass armor from the gate of hell place and crouch walked my way to victory.

Oh and cliff racers

I played a Lurikeen ranger in Daoc and I got endless amounts of kills at milegates/castles because I could hide behind the ramparts and the only time people could target me was when I jumped.

Also, if you don't pay a poo poo-ton of palladium or some such for the absolute top-of-the-line best flute and didn't roll a 23 on your spec sheet, your mesmerize will never loving land and you might as well just loving kill yourself so you don't feed kill points to the other team. God!

Any class that is not Warrior. None of that bard attack up bullshit or wasting a turn because your ran out of mana to cast hellfire. Just a straight up broadsword to chop the enemies dick off.

All they do is watch bars/numbers and click buttons to make them get bigger again, just like their ever expanding waist line that their poor spouses have to venture in to weekly and pray they don;t create another cleft-palette they can't afford to fix

Non plaudite modo pecuniam jacite.

Gnome tinkerer sounds like it would be fun, but then you realize that you need time, materials, and facilities to actually make anything. And if you make a weapon that isn't bronze age technology, it's considered exotic and requires its own weapon proficiency.

Ragnarok online did it best, it would ask you your sex during account registration and the majority of people would unknowingly answer it and it forced you to play as your proper sex in game.

Hey baby I think we Havel lot in common
Halfling. Halfling is the only race more useless than gnome. Gnome at least gets to specialize in illusion...whateverthefuck for, I have no idea, because specialties that do not either deal damage or enable loot-gathering are loving useless.

A halfling...what? Fighter? Lol. Mage? Never seen one. Thief? Sure, viable - until you try to steal something that is on a table and you didn't bring a rope to get up there. Cleric? loving lol. That's the answer right there: Halfling cleric. While the Cleric was the healer specialist (because gods love healing people, right? I mean, that happened a lot in mythology and the Old Testament) he was also the only non-warrior class actually able to wear armor, and the 'no blades' arbitrary restriction (because religion in mythology certainly never involved cutting folks up - say, like, with a knife on an altar or something) was not too bad because maces could really crack skulls - and then there was 'turning undead' as a bonus.

But put cleric on top of halfling and you just get a big pile of useless fail. No real combat/tanking ability, and so your ONLY use is casting wuss healing spells and turning the loving skeletons you run into that one time in 100 games.

Halfling was a pointless race altogether. Were it not for Tolkien, D&D would have been a much more efficient game. Although half-elf was fairly useful (ranger/thief with bow/blade skills and infravision? hell yes!), most of the rest of the Tolkien IP theft portions of D&D were just boring and unimaginative.

And let's talk infravision for a second. Everything gets this EXCEPT humans? ha.

But only humans could be paladins, and only assholes play paladins, and the only reason to play a paladin is to get a Holy Avenger - which is inferior in every way to a Vorpal Blade. So, gently caress paladins. But yet, there just HAS to be one in every group.

Cleric halfling? Ultimate useless troll race/class. Maybe multiclass with bard to get the ultimate failure at life.
