Hey y’all, it’s me! The RPG Guru here back at it again with another video. Today, while playing Dungeons and Dragons with my white male friend, I started thinking of what the stat bonuses are for real races in real life! So that’s why I did the unthinkable and made a list of racial bonuses and debuffs with real races! Before we get into the video, be sure to smack that like button down below, Oh and disclaimer: Any race can be anything they want. Most of these stat changes become obsolete in the meta game of what we call life. Let’s get right into it then!
👴🏻🧓🏻👨🏻👱🏻♀️ White People 👴🏻🧓🏻👨🏻👱🏻♀️
White people are the light skinned people of the world, and are mostly in North America and Europe. They are have high diplomatic skills, and have a 5+ bonus in intelligence and +10 Speechcraft. The white pigments on the skin allow better absorption of vitamin D in climates with moderate temperature, leading to bones being better. This race, although having good social skills, has a -10 debuff in disposition with every other race due to the lore of this series. White People are good with a lot of classes due to the speechcraft skill letting you convince anyone to train you.
👨🏿💼👨🏿💻🕵🏿♂️👩🏿🍳 Black People🧔🏿👵🏿🧑🏿👷🏿♂️
Black people are from Africa, and are the darkest of the races which lets them have better protection against intense heat. They have a +10 in strength, however they have -10 in intelligence. Black people are good warriors and can be a good hybrid in Warrior and Thievery due to no thievery related debuffs being present.
👴🏼👳🏼♀️🧓🏼👨🏼⚕️ Asian People 👩🏼⚕️🤵🏼👨🏼⚖️👩🏼⚖️
The Asians are from Asia and pretty much have the same skin color as white people, however they have more closed in eyes. They are very smart and have a +10 bonus in intelligence, however they have this by trading in their strength, resulting in a -10 in strength. They are good for a mage type character, but their lack in strength results in their defenses being lower than average. Alchemy can make up for weaknesses though, and provide a good income if needed.
👩🏽🌾👩🏽🎨👦🏽👲🏽Mexican People👮🏽♂️👮🏽♀️💂🏽♀️👩🏽
Mexican People are the brown colored people that live south of the USA in Mexico. They have a +5 bonus in sneak and security (lockpicking) but have a -5 in speechcraft. They have the benefit of getting a job easier, at the cost of lower pay (pun intended). Pretty good for a stealth character, but getting caught may be problematic due to low speechcraft.
👳🏽♂️🧕🏽👨🏽⚖️👰🏽Indian People👩🏽🔧👩🏽💼🙎🏽♂️👶🏽
Indian people are close to the same color as Mexican People, and are from India. They have a +10 in mercantile which leads them to being good at scamming people, but they have a -10 in luck. Good for a merchant character, but that -10 luck could be bad depending on what your character is set out to be.
Anyway, that’s the list! What changes would you make? And for all of you D&Dheads out there, feel free to use this for any future games! This has been The RPG Guru, and remember to subscribe if you want more content like this.
