All Class and Race Options

Here's a thing I put together for simplicity's sake. When starting a new character, it can be easy to forget what all of your options
are, as there are so many and the list keeps getting longer. All of the class and race options currently available for DnD 5e are
listed here, including those covered in Official Unearthed Arcana articles. You can find an appendix of terminology and referenced
articles at the end of this document with links to everything.
All Unearthed Arcana material is technically unofficial and intended for playtesting. Ask
your DM before choosing these options.
