D&D (2024) Do you think we will get MM Playtest Packets?

I am prepared to be disappointed.

Always a good place to start with this stuff. Nowhere to go but up!

 

[MonsterEnvy]

PC, yes. Players no.

And why do you hate PCs being special? I am honestly curious.

Because nothing about a human (for example) that happens to be played by a player is different than a human played by the GM, except they were probably luckier than average in their statline. They have the exact same potential and given the opportunity and/or hard work could achieve the same things. Treating them as any more special than having the camera turned in their direction is IMO disingenuous.

Probably not, and we do not need it.

Rather, we need more PHB UAs.

It does not matter how good MM or DMG will be if PHB will suck.

I see it the other way around… at this point the PHB is a lost cause, it gets worse with every playtest. By now I am pretty sure I will skip it or jump ship entirely (probably to something 5e compatible)

At least there is still hope for MM and DMG

Really hope metallic/chromatic dragons get a complete redo. They're meant to be the title monster of the game, but in combat they're just a block of HP and a breath weapon.

Use them with their lair actions and they are much better.

I’m sure the statblocks will disappoint at some level, my DM makes much better monsters; however, I’m really just want the new art. The dragon previews were amazing!
