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.

In nature, some animals are "built" for bursts of startling speed, and some aren't.

I think it's just that humans are generally better at long-term, continuous movement at a good clip than other animals (and so arguably some fantasy races). Wolves are good at this, too. Deer, for example, are not.

And if they were providing an explanation, any explanation, for these changes, that might hold water.

Truthfully, I'm guessing the movement rate for adult humans IRL varies a lot more itself than is captured by 20 to 30 from 3.5 or 25 to 30 from 5e for Halflings to Humans. Might not be worth remembering at a lot of tables. (Even if it pains me to say so a bit).

Prove that verisimilitude is just an annoyance and not a benefit? I'm betting that you can't since it is a very subjective things, not objective like you are making it out to be.

I can prove that demanding objective proof of EVERY. SINGLE. THING. said on the internet is an annoyance.

Especially when it's solely targeted at you and everyone else is allowed to talk freely without harassment.

Is it as annoying as having everything you like challenged as being unfun and out of touch? ;-)

No. That's both not targeted and also it's character building.

I think WotC plans to ignore culture altogether, leaving it to players to "do whatever they want". Anything else is either more work than they want to put in, or might run afoul of their detractors and lead to them losing some of those new, young players they crave.

Frankly, if species stereotyping is unacceptable, I can't see how national or regional stereotyping could be accepted...

In nature, some animals are "built" for bursts of startling speed, and some aren't.

And now we're back to my original statement of, "If they write into halflings some sort of super speed lore, then fine."

They won't, though, which precludes it being physiological and all races would be equally capable of these speed bursts.

Ultimately, though, every race in 5e is a freaking turtle. When I was in Jr. High I was timed at 100 yards in 10 second flat on grass in normal tennis shoes(so not even close to my top speed). That's 60 yards or 180 feet in 6 seconds. Three times faster than speed 30 and a dash of 30. I find it really annoying how slow creatures in combat are.

I wonder if it's hard to tell targeting from just the personality traits of some of our denizens here. (There are some typical alignments based on regularly occurring topics that can make it seem really odd when you see the same posters disagreeing on another thread, or vice-versa).

As are evasions like this.

I don't target anyone specifically. When I see people make claims like that, I call them out that way regardless of who they are. I don't see everyone, though, so it might feel to you like you are targeted. You aren't.

Prove it!

Prove a negative, or you lose the internet.
