For what it's worth, they said the DMG will have guidelines for creating custom backgrounds. Since the '14 DMG also had a section for building custom races/subraces, if any more complex mixed-ancestry system is going to exist, it would likely be there.

And now the video's out: Nothing on the half-elf/orc at all, or mixed-ancestry characters in general.

Changing point buy/standard array doesn't help people who roll their stats, so having those extra +2/+1 bonuses gives you just that little extra bit of control.

Video on Feats, Backgrounds, and Species.

Yeah, it was mentioned in the YouTube chat that we're getting three more videos today, one of which is presumably the Weapon Mastery video linked above.

Been following along all throughout the playtest, so yes, I am well aware of what WotC has said on the matter. They're giving the 5e system an update. That's what they were always doing, and what they've always claimed they were doing. It's still 5e and they're designing it in such a way that...

Nothing as of yet, but I expect there will likely be a video going more in depth on species options later today.

Aasimar celestial revelation is no longer fixed once chosen - can choose to use a different one each time it is used.

Epic boon feats at level 19!

Looks like they started ~5 minutes early. Video's live now.

Or about 35 minutes from now, for those who don't want to do timezone conversions.

Yeah, I have to agree. It doesn't have to be a hard-hitting journalist trying to pry answers from an uncooperative politician to still be an interview.

Definitely Ravenloft. Their designs have changed somewhat from their pre-5e versions (or so I've been told), but the characters are supposedly old-school Ravenloft regulars that were brought back for Van Richten's. Detectives Alanik Ray and Arthur Sedgwick. The Weathermay-Foxgrove Twins...
