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.

Sure, but not due to physiology. So they'll will nonsensically be able to move as fast as creatures with similar physiology and twice the stride length.

The new lineage approach to races gets rid of a lot of the physiological differences (while keeping the supernatural differences) so at least it's consistent?

Sadly, I think it's pretty clear that WotC does not care about that stuff anymore.

Small size creatures can effectively jump their height and then some. Physiological similarity with humans is unlikely to begin with.

Bring back THAC0 !!!

5e changed business plan, specifically around publishing speed. Hasbro stockholder calls have praised D&D every single call for years, unlike what happened with 3.0 to 3.5 (link below). We really are in a different situation then that refresh.

I remember reading this when it came out. If I'm understanding you, you're saying (as we all know) that 5E has been committed to a slower release schedule which the stockholders approve, so why fix something that isn't broken and wait on a 6th edition? But as Monte Cook points out in the article you linked, rarely are the people that made decisions for the future still around when those decisions are implemented. Who's to say that the business plan can't change between the release of 5.5E and 6E if they think they can make even more money? Your guess and mine is as good as anyone else's but considering that traditionally an editions lifespan has been ~10 years and the coming 5.5E in 2024 would hit that mark making it plausible that 6E is already planned.

Right - 5E (and D&D in general) paints things with a pretty broad brush and deals in some pretty odd abstractions in the interest of playability, so innate movement differentials of just 5'/turn seems like something not worth bothering with, I guess. YMMV.

True. Now we have 20 STR Halflings who can one arm bench-press Minotaurs and Goliaths who are both rocking 8 STR. WITHOUT having any kind of divine blood in em.

Whats next: Non-BDSM Shadar-Kai and Drow?

 

[Vaalingrade]

Is it finally happening? I 5e going to get it's own terrible non-argument in the vein of 'square fireballs'?

 

[Maxperson]

Nah, people are moreso wanting something moreso like the Warblade from 3E. Something with the idea of Fighter but more meat to it

That really can't happen in 5e with the way they build classes/subclasses. Not even 5e Wizards are what 3.5 Warblades were. If that's what they mean, then they're going to remain disappointed.

 

[Weiley31]

I'll admit I was such a fan of the 3.5 Warblade so much that I just refer to my 5E Battle Master, both in game/out of game, as a Warblade.
