In the first video of the series "Ranking One D&D PHB Species 1 to 10," the focus is on the changes that have been made to species and backgrounds in the One D&D Player's Handbook (PHB). The video delves into why these changes might not be as effective or well-received as intended. Specifically, you discuss how these adjustments could lead to imbalances or issues within gameplay that weren't fully addressed during development.

The video also ranks the species from the PHB, starting with those that are considered low-ranking on your list. You'll explore why these particular species fall short, whether due to mechanics, lore, or how well they fit into the overall game system. This video sets the stage for the rest of the series, where you'll continue to break down and analyze the different species in greater detail.
