@SevenStormStyleHilarious, and I'm only on 80.

@RaijinslayerQuestions from a less experienced player:
1. How do playable races?/?//
2. Do DMs accept playable races?

@VocabSo. It was my first campaign ever, and it was the end of my first dungeon ever. The dungeon.....was full of wimpy kobolds and an assortment of Small races(halflings, goblins, etc.). So, we reached the 5th floor, the dungeon boss, and we thought "This might actually be easy!" Then we saw......a young adult blue dragon. *cries in the corner* We had a half-elf bard(me), a paladin, a halfling wizard, a rogue, a human fighter(who was named J Neric) and a human barbarian. Amazingly, none of us died. The dragon rolled a critical failure on his second breath weapon, and ended up doing 47 damage to his foot, frying it to a crisp. (The DM made critical fails as bad for the enemy as for us, which was surprisingly fair) I had to heal 3 party members from unconsciousness, because I was the main healer. The rogue's player, which I will name Crisps to protect the player's anonymity, had taken our ten healing potions, because he was the self-proclaimed leader. He was unconscious. So I healed Crisps, and we went around healing everyone while the Barbarian and the Wizard kept attacking the dragon. The dragon eventually died, and we got: some really expensive gems, which I used my super-fukkin-high Charisma to sell for twice the money, a magical bandore(similar to harp) (which Barbarian man insisted he kept for reasons soon to be revealed), and a +1 longsword, which J Neric kept. Then.....

Barbarian stole the sword, commited seppuku, and brought in his new character(a sorceror). I took the bandore. Sorceror wanted it. I said no. I told him that he can't even play a lute. He complained to the DM. J Neric monk-punched him in the face. I kept the magic bandore. It was op. Here are the spells that I could cast once a day, each, at will.

Fly
Levitate
Invisibility
Shillelagh
Fairie fire
Entangle
Protection from evil
Speak with animals

I named it Frederick.

@BrassOtterThe beer incident was when a player, who I'll call Jimothy for the sake of his anonymity, drank 20(!) mugs of beer, and killed four people in a bar fight(he was a barbarian) and got us all run out of town. The party never let him forget. The DM added measures to prevent this.

@SevenStormStyleMy favorite things: Thorn whip being super OP(dealing 1d4 blunt damage to 3 enemies plus 1d8 to 1 of them and knocking them all prone in 5e), bardic inspiration(which has the disadvantage of the DM being able to negate it if s/he wants to be a dick), getting a high enough wild shape challenge rating that I have to switch to the monster manual instead of the suggested beasts (circle of the moon op), suggestion (holy shit it sounds op), teaming up with a friend to sleep a miniboss and their minions, having my bard dress up as a murderous clown of your nightmares and succesfully making one of the guards of a bandit camp faint,

and last but not least,

the beer incident.

@SevenStormStyleI've only played one 4e campaign and two halves of 5e campaigns. I miss shifters.
But the first time I played (4e) 4 out of 6 people in my party had never played, one person had played once, and the DM was brand new. We ended up failing terribly because we forgot all our racial/class bonuses all the time. But on the bright side, my shifter druid used thorn whip to throw someone out of a four-story window in a wizard's tower and then watched them splat on the floor. It was great.
