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.

Do you play 5e? If so why, as opposed to almost any other edition that is more concerned with simulation?

The same reason a lot of people play 5e: more people are aware of and want to play it than any other fantasy rpg, and most people are resistant to learning new games. If I had my way, I'd play my retro clone of choice, or maybe 2nd ed (probably the retro clone with 2e's lore). But instead I hack 5e to my liking because that's what you have to do.

Also, this forum (and gaming discourse in general) has a long history of telling someone who has an issue with a game to play a different game not being especially helpful. Something to think about.

 

[Nikosandros]

I don't particularly care one or the other, but what if WotC has found that almost everyone is handwriting speed rules, as in your first paragraph? If they find people aren't using a rule, what use does it serve?

As we all know, polearms are an enormously complex variety of weapons, but 5E flattens this considerably....because if what they have found people will actually use st most tables.

Bah! That's why AD&D 1e is best. You have rules that properly account for a gnome weilding a hook-fauchard and wearing fairly
bulky armor. Just, for the love of Boccob, please do not tie your initiative roll!

 

[UngeheuerLich]

1 forget elf because I said human as the base... and 2 how does a human get advantage on a non living target regularly? (I think a rogue/fighter multi class is best here to give archery fighting style +2 and steady aim bonus action but not sure what you are thinking of)

Because it is unconscious by definition.

 

[HammerMan]

They use class features. The reason they move faster isn't race. It's like casting a movement spell.

seems odd to me that all 2nd level rogue can increase there movement by x1.5 (since can now double dash) but it is somehow not within the physical capabilities of the race...

 

[HammerMan]

If players can decide if their character is medium or small at chargen, that would allow for a lot of age-based size variations. How many stories have kid adventurers who are successful because they're small, quick, skinny, can feign innocence easily, etc?

back in 3e we had a player make a 9year old sorcerer who took mostly summoning spells and was basicly an anime character (Pokemon/yugioh/digimon) so I am cool with it...but that would (if you stick to raw) need to say all races can lower 1 size catagory for kids...

 

[Cadence]

The standard combat movement rate assumes the character is doing things like paying attention, trying not to be stabbed or shot, and looking for opportunities to attack, right?

A median 9yo human is a lot bigger than a halfling aren't they? (Median 53" if I read the table right). Is that medium or small?

I generally get the feeling that people really don't grasp how ludicrously small halflings are. It came across in the earlier debates about ASIs as well.

I don't know. D&D combat is weird you have 360 vision and can react and defend as well against the 7th attack as the first (in 6 seconds) and if me and you both start next to each other you move 25 ft, then the mage casts fireball, then I move 25ft next to you we might not be in fireball range at same time (cause we wait and do nothing until out turn) so who knows...
