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.

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.

by it self verisimilitude can be good or bad and is pretty subjective. It should NEVER be a blunt force used to make one set of players weaker or have a harder time then others.

 

[HammerMan]

In the good old days you essentially stopped getting hp after 9th level and the bonuses from ability scores were small.

I said here or in another thread (I think this oen) that there were things form 2e and 4e I would want back for 6e... this is actually part of it.

I want a big boost of HP at first level (I liked con score from 4e but an argument for 3HD can make sense with where I am going) then at even levels you get HD but at odd levels you get a set amount like 2e (+1,+2,or+3) so overall the HP are less but 1st level is front loaded... by 5th level you would start to have less then current but up until then same or more.

for this to work all damage (PC and monster) need to be lower but with bonded accuracy (that I would increase sligtly) I think it would work well.

I would make ACs instead of right now where they mostly run from 10-23 (with some PCs getting up to 26 or 27) I would go back to 2e 10- -10 range (no not THAC0 or negative AC) by making the range 10-30 with only deity and divine like monsters able to break the 30 cap.

What's to test? They're removing content, not adding it.

we don't know that... they had surveys about classes and races and it looks like some monster races just got buffs including trance/fey ansestry that looks like it will effect elf.

You mean like DMs have been doing since people started creating their own settings? Wah.

You really think it's a good idea to give players nothing to work with? Just because WotC is afraid what people might say about their lore, and too lazy to do it right, it's ok to just stop giving a starting point?

 

[HammerMan]

It's been WotC strategy for two decades:

• rush some parts of the new edition to plant the seeds for some delayed customers frustrations
• release patches in the form of new or revised books to make customers feel they care, but make sure never to fix all of their complaints
• complicate the edition with too many patches and books, make customers feel a reboot is necessary

yup

However in 5e the difference was that it was not that much rushed, thanks also to the open playtest. In fact some of the most criticised bits (Sorcerer, Beastmaster) were parts added at the last minute WITHOUT an open playtest. In fact, 5e is the first edition ever which we are playing without house rules just fine. And without patches (Tasha).

I'm not sure more people played this with out house rules then 3e or 4e

Given my history of previously hating half-editions and even-number edition, I think I'm settled with what I have until 2034.

I know hateing 4e (the second best selling edition) is meme on the internet, but was 2e hated? it was the longest running and the one that I know the best... if so I will find it funny because i LOVE even editions (2e better than 1e and 4e better than 3 or 5)

Please tell us your source.

It's my opinion, but I stand by it.

 

[HammerMan]

It so does not matter, as it is unrealistic anyway.
You can't sprint anyway. 30ft per 6sec or even twice as much is slow anyway.
It is 300ft in 30sec if you dash. In 20sec if you use bonus action dash. That is half as much as usain bolt. That is as much as I can run in chain armor for 20 secs. And I am not very trained. My 5 year old son who is just a bit higher than gnome sized can run 300ft in 30 secs.

Long distance walking and tactical maneuvering has nothing to do with each other.

speed in D&D (and most non magics feats) for the last 7 years have all been less than human max.

You can not make a 5e human fighter without magic trained in athletics at highest prof level (is that 17 or 18?) that is as fast as an Olympic athlete, can jump as far as an Olympic athlete, can not lift or carry as much worlds strongest man... and even the most accurate 5e human fighter misses the bulls eye 5% of the time (I;m not 100% sure on this but pretty sure that Olympic archers miss less than that).

 

[HammerMan]

Yeah, given 5e's popularity, they're really trying to make people believe that this isnt a new edition coming, but for all intents and purposes (other than optics) it is.

the thing is they are pushing it as far as they can to claim it isn't an edition change but not addressing everything to claim "backward compatibility"

You really think it's a good idea to give players nothing to work with?

People keep asking for a simple 5e, which has already been 70% 'DM may I'.
