I welcome you to the bookish Dungeons & Dragons race quiz that might just be able to help if you ever asked yourself: Which D&D race am I? Moreover, if a quiz looked into my very bookish soul, what would it see? Can anything really assess my reading habits and preferences in 10 questions and give me an answer right away? If I did my job right, the answer to all of the above is yes.
My Dungeons & Dragons race quiz will help you find your D&D race based on your reading habits and bookish traits. Although the book questions are geared toward fantasy, they cover a range of fantasy sub-genres. Now, this would be an impossibly long quiz if I included all the Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) D&D races in 5e, so I have limited my list to the basic rules in the Player’s Handbook. So, my primary caveat is today, you are limited to Dragonborn, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Halfling, Half-Orc, Human, and Tiefling. The secondary caveat to my Dungeons & Dragons race quiz is that I am working based on the WOTC listed race details and traits.
A character can be built in many, many different ways, so I am sure this bookish quiz will only cover a subsection of potential traits. Dungeons & Dragons is a wonderful game that builds community, can improve your mental health, and can be played in many, many ways. What’s important is we’re all going to have a good time while we are at it. So, are you ready to see what this Dungeons & Dragons race quiz has to say about you?
I hope you received the answers you were looking for. You should also check out these books or these books, recommended based on your Dungeons & Dragons class. You can even go get yourself a fun D&D-related shirt. And, if you don’t feel like you got the right answer the first time, feel free to take the Dungeons & Dragons race quiz again!

On the whole, your bookish habits show you favor self-reliant and suspicious characters in your fiction that come from thriving in the liminal spaces of society. The essence of the Nine Hells influences your reading choices, and the ways others view them.
