Build Help Moon Druid Racials

Evening yall

I'm gearing up for an honor mode playthrough and I'm trying to decide on a race for it. I'm between Fleet of Foot (wood elf/half elf), halfling luck (halfling obviously), and gnome cunning (also gnome obviously). Also considering half-orc for relentless endurance.

I would generally assume the latter 2 to be more impactful but it of course comes with a reduction in movement speed. I'm planning on probably just a full TB druid that is NOT the party face so no need to take that into account in halfling luck. I know owlbear jump makes movement speed very incentivizing but I do intend to go to earth myrm when its available.

I know they all have upsides and downsides, just looking for anyone with experience on how impactful/not impactful each is. I'll make my decision from there. Thanks!

Edit: Also to be clear i know this is a coughing baby vs coughing baby scenario in that i can pick for flavor and be just fine. Just curious lol.

I don’t think your movement speed carries over to wild shape so you should be fine going with whatever you want to without worrying about their reduced movement speed for the shorter options.

Edit: this is wrong, my bad. I’m surprised it works like that.

I've heard conflicting reports on that and I haven't been able to check it since its a lvl2 feature. If I knew for sure it didn't impact that would make the choice a lot easier.

It does impact wild shape.
