D&D 5E - Full List of Monsters in Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse contains revamped stat blocks for 260 monsters previously published in previous Dungeons & Dragons 5E books. The list was compiled by YouTuber Bob Worldbuilder based on some blurry screenshots originally shared by Nerd Immersion (see the video...

www.enworld.org

While reprinted, these races have all been updated to the current standard used by WotC for D&D races used in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, including a free choice of ability score increases (increase one by 2 points and another by 1 point; or increase three by 1 point), and small races not suffering a movement speed penalty.

The video below from Nerd Immersion delves into the races in more detail.

we can have our cake and eat it too... remember back during the playtest WotC promised dials and gages to adjust... you want more gritty do this you want more high action do that, you want more 4e flavor use this you want more 2e flavor do that....

I remember early on that 5e seemed like an ideal bare foundation to build on. And that things could potentially be added and slotted in smoothly endlessly.

Instead it feels like they're cutting away at the foundation, rather than building on it. Everything is being further simplified over time and not in a good way.

what (other then the .5 lable) made this or that more or less a break?

Someone playing with a 3E Bard or Ranger was at a definite disadvantage to a 3.5 version of those Classes, because they were fundamentally different and had to be buffed for 3.5, for example. A SCAG Deep Gnome and MMotM Deep Gnome are not fundamentally different, they have different traits thst are on par.

It is consistent with the most recent books, and where they are going. Presentation evolves, and is secondary.

The issue is that the original core rules also need their presentation updated. Having to wait two whole years for that is annoying.

As I said before, I very much wish they’d waited to do these major changes until they could do everything at once.

I don’t like the way the game is evolving in such a haphazard way.

I would rather the game evolve through a new edition instead of an experimental “bridging” product.

As long as I can ignore the content in this new book on DD Beyond, I’ll be able to get over it and wait till 2024. But if WotC forces DD Beyond to replace all the existing content with this new stuff, I will not be happy.

So there is only one Human Race.
This sorta of leak (hype) is getting boring.

Of course? You think they are going to pull the pin and hold onto that grenade? lol

Though I'm honestly here for the day we get "make stuff up and roll some dice" as the sum total of the official D&D game.

I don't see anything about Doliphons, do you mean the Deathlock, Deathlock Mastermind, and Deathlock Wight? Those are from MToF originally.

No, go further down. There are the dinosaurs, then dolphin (which was in Volo's), then... something (which looks like "dolphin [blurry word]"), then draegloth and the drow...

The foundation was never really there. That was very evident in how advantage/disadvantage and bounded accuracy vastly limited the design space. There's only so many things you can roll twice for and never have bonuses, especially in a space that has to assume magic items and feats aren't a thing.

Ah! There is a Dolphin in VGtM.

It was more important to start the "update" quickly than to do it right.

yeah, some people think basic fighters are fun (they get there fun)
Some want more advanced fighters (like 4e of 3.5 bo9s) would be fun...

notice how different people find different things fun is almost always an excuse for why group a doesn't want group b to have fun...

Since 5E has both in the same class I am having a hard time locating the bludgeon.
