This guide is to introduce players new to D&D 5e, the Forgotten Realms, or Baldur's Gate 3 to the [[Races|races]] available for you to use for your custom character "Tav," [[The Dark Urge|Dark Urge]], or [[Companions#Hirelings|hirelings]] and to understand the races of [[Origins|origin]] characters and [[Companions|companions]]. It will go over how the dialogue tag system may cause a character's race to play a role in conversation options and how the world reacts to your character. And it will cover the mechanical features of the races, and what [[Classes|classes]] or builds may go well with each race.

* Zariel Tiefling is a great option for [[Charisma]] based spell sword characters, whether that be a Pact of the Blade [[Warlock]], [[Paladin]], Swords [[Bard]], Valour [[Bard]], or even a [[Fighter]] or [[Rogue]] who had some [[Ability Scores|ability score]] points to spare and put them in Charisma. The two smite spells let you do a bit more damage in combat and are not something to scoff at. [[Thaumaturgy]] is also a great spell for party face characters to have, which this high [[Charisma]] character can likely fill the shoes of.

* Asmodeous Tiefling is nice for anyone, but definitely favors Charisma casters like [[Bard|Bards]] and [[Warlock|Warlocks]]. Other races can certainly make use of the [[Darkness]] spells both in and out of combat, whether that be to blind the enemies you are fighting or to sneak through difficult locations. But a Warlock with the Devil's Sight [[Eldritch Invocation]] will get the most use from it. [[Produce Flame]] could be a nice damage cantrip for a bard, if only it was not bugged and currently scaling off of Wisdom as of Launch Patch 1. And [[Hellish Rebuke]] does scale off Charisma, but its damage is not so substantial that you should be worried about this spell being a waste in the event your character does not have a high Charisma. This race is actually what my first character was. Save the best for last.
