D&D 5E Announcement coming February 6th

[Parmandur]

So, per Morrus, MToF will be 256 pages long.

We know at least the following will be covered:

Gith
Demons
Devil's
Elves
Duereger (maybe other Dwarves...?)

Any speculation on what else we might see? Slaadi and Modrons seem extremely likely, as they have been talked about in the pre-announcement material. Perhaps Yugoloth, Genies...?

 

[Parmandur]

Also, they played super could about Eberron and then suggested they "weren't going to talk about that now." This further suggests an Eberron or broader settings connection for Catacomb, to my mind.

I'm expecting different "versions" of tieflings. Maybe not named as such, but full races with demonic, yugoloth, or even slaadi blood.

It's coming, just a matter of when.

In one of the Beyond videos, Mearls alluded to a "Planetouched" race distinct from 5E Infernal Tieflings, filling the old 2E random lower planes Tiefling.

The more generic, could be from anything, jack-of-all-lower planes mutt? I could be down.

The SCAG already had rules for none infernal Tieflings.

If they do a generic Planetouched it wouldn't be just for the lower planes, but likely all of them, perhaps even including a Shadar Kai subrace, which would be better then Elven Shadar Kai.

Doesn't seem to be the current direction.

That seemed really odd they would do that with shadar-kai, unless it was just so mechanically similar they just made them an elven subrace?
