Is the problem with the material for the cover they used? It looks too thick to me in those pictures.

You'd probably feel better if you had tentacles, I don't think they get that sore.

I view (Warrior) Veterans as being very tough, they're certainly more powerful than a 3rd level fighter despite being CR 3. They're probably more in line with a 5th level fighter. But that's the thing, they're NPCs they don't have all the extra abilities PCs get like Mastery options and Action...

One thing I'm sure we won't see in the future is "Mul" for Athasian Dwarf and Human mixtures, especially if Dark Sun does eventually comes back as a campaign setting. And they quietly dropped Tallfellow (Elf-Halflings) and Stout Halflings (Dwarf-Halflings) already, they were always presented...

"Metis" has a very specific meaning in Canadian English about which ethnic groups are in the mix, like exclusively of European and Indigenous background. I found it unusual in Lupin (the Netflix series) when Assane and Claire referred to their son Raoul as "Metis" in French, even though "Metis"...

Anyways thinking back on a few more examples. Here's one based on the 3e skill use. Tumble Skill: Acrobatics Use: When you move as part of an action you can give up 5 feet of movement to avoid taking opportunity attacks from a single opponent. I think "Use" might be a better example going...

I think they should have effect in combat as I have similar thoughts about the framework of the other pillars where it's not as codified and a lot of things are just up to the DM to decide.

3.5e had "tricks" or something similar that was introduced in some book like Complete Scroundrel. So that's where my thinking sort of came in.

These are initial concepts and I'm quite aware how some of the being actions might not be as powerful. The initial idea for "Disrupt Magic" was about those continuous "Save to end the effect" spells like Hold Person. Which I probably should have put "before your next turn". As for a Skill...

Now that there's Weapon Mastery, what about there being an option like Skill Mastery? What I envision them being is something like cantrip or weapon mastery, expect that it's a special effect that happens when taking a certain type of action. For example: Read Opponent Skill: Insight Action...

I generally based most of my ideas off of 2e and ideas formed from Planescape (where Githzerai were one of 3 PC races that debuted in the original Boxed Set along with Bariaur and Tieflings) including Planescape Torment. There's a reference to something that I remember about the Athasian...

My view on what Magic is, has been shaped by Mage: the Ascension long ago, and I have adjusted those ideas to fit into D&D. So Psionics is Magic or Science is Magic are not unusual ideas to me.

I'm guessing it'll have the 2024 revisions of Green Flame Blade and Booming Blade in that book. Don't know if there'll be any changes to those. Unless they want to do something about the meta around Booming Blade where somehow everyone white-rooms into the target always moves and always takes...

Back in the 2e Tales of the Infinite Staircase, I had the idea that the Wind Dukes of Aaqa were behind the Iron Shadow (an infection of law that drains away creativity) that was causing all those problems.

They aren't going to be updated that much from Monsters of the Multiverse which was developed around the same time that the 2024 core books were. They already addressed why Goblin PCs are Humanoids and not Fey when they were discussing the MM, so it definitely is a case of them maintaining that...

You're missing the point, the 2024 PHB is making the point that the Fiendish ancestor or influence is more important than any mortal ancestry a Tiefling might have.

Tieflings are once again also not Devil only. As the entry goes on about Demons, Yugoloths, Night Hags, Succubi and more.

Also reconfirmed it again looking in the 2024 PHB, nowhere in the Tiefling entry is the word "Human" ever used. And Aasimar has the words "any mortal community"

2024 has gone back to Tieflings are Fiend mixed with something else. While not explicitly stated, the Iconic Bard in the art is a Tiefling of Elven ancestry who's possibly related to the Iconic Elven Sorcerer, while the Celestial Warlock art depicts an Aasimar of Dwarven ancestry.

My theory is that Half-Orc was mostly chosen, because players wanted to play Orcs but weren't allowed to play Orcs because they weren't in the PHB. And it's worse because they never really tried to make Half-Orcs look too distinct from Orcs unless they emphasized certain features of Orcs. I...
