Volo's Guide to Monsters Race help for adventure league

[sflame56]

Which classes and archetypes work best with the new races following adventure league rules? This means can only be from core book so no long death kobolds sadly.

[Dachimotsu]

Orcs have always made great barbarians, and if you're allowed to play as a winged kobold (or an aarakocra for that matter), it'd make a good rogue or ranger. Tabaxi are, of course, natural-born rogues, and I'd love to play one sometime.

[ShikomeKidoMi]

Hobgoblins are very good wizards. Get some armor proficiency and boosts to both Con and Int. Saving Face isn't a bad power, either. And everybody likes Darkvision.

[MinotaurWarrior]

Bugbears:


Great assassins
Surprisingly good monks
Great grapplers


Goblins:


Fantastic longbow battlemasters
Decent shadow monks
Surprisingly good bards (exp. stealth, bonus action hide)



Hobgoblins:


Great wizards
Surprisingly good arcane tricksters (net +4 to a skill check)


Gobbtopia rules!

I'm currently playing a bugbear assassin 3 / barbarian 2 / hunter 6. It's a ton of fun, and pretty great (though hunter is, of course, situational). That assassin 3 / barbarian 2 core gives you 2d8+ASM+2+8d6 (39) assassinations, bugbear reach negates the need for disengage on your reckless hit-and-run sneak attacks (dealing just 1.5 less than a equal level rogue) allowing for dashes dual wielding (making up that 1.5) or possible combat hiding, and you have advantage + expertise on grapples you can use to drag insane loads with your powerful build.
