@Castella Yeah, honestly I would highly recommend homebrewing in any edition of D&D rules. Whether you're using one of the official settings or your own personal slice of fictional real estate, some of the rules can definitely just be considered basic guidelines rather than something to get hung up on.
There's a webcomic called Goblins, it's influenced very heavily by D&D. In it, the goblins decide to take up PC classes to improve their lot in life. Strictly speaking, that's gonna get a rule lawyer up in your grill. They're not really a playable race by default, but goddamn does that sound like a fun and interesting campaign theme to play around with.
The rules need a bit of flexibility or you could miss out on some great story potential. It's cool if 5E is built even more towards having people homebrewing, I'm not super familiar with the 5E stuff myself. My main exposure to D&D was stuff like the gold box games for PC, so typically 3E or perhaps 3.5E for most of that.
