We have to start thinking about major events. The civilization of a race and its history go hand in hand. However, in my experience, you do lose a lot of the immersion aspect of DnD when you just cram a random race in the world. If you aren’t a big storyteller or if you enjoy making up things on the fly, that is fine. ![]() If you just want to play your race and don’t really care about others playing it, you can skip this part. Start with Building a Civilization and History Keep asking yourself, which niche does this race fill and does it have the right amount of power to make an impact but not change the battle on its own. It is also important to figure out which unique abilities your new kind has and how these fit into this world. Most of your brainpower and time should go to thinking about how strong this race is at the start and how the power progresses. Do they have any unique gods, or are there legends about them in this world? Maybe there is a common goal that everyone in this race has, like finding a lost city or retaking a part of their ancestral homeland. What history do they have in this world and what influence do they have now. If you are great at sketching, it is always a good idea to make some rough sketches to breathe life in your Homebrew race. Give an overview of the culture (if any) and what they look like. You don’t need to write half a novel about the race, but you should at least have some info about the dynamic with other races and creatures. So the first thing I would recommend you do is to think about lore or a background. I am a major fan of world-building and storytelling. It fills a niche in a way that is not overpowered or broken and is fun to use. The first question you should ask yourself is why would you do that? A good Homebrew item, monster or race all have the same thing in common. So you want to start your very own DnD race.
