Yes. Absolutely. Kreen are mantids, a whole different vibe to other insects. The problem, though, is Dromites are.... I guess they're trying to be ant-y but they don't really pull it D&D has never embraced the necessary playable insect stuff though. You gotta have the sly mantids, the beetle...

Playable Formians, telling you now. I've seen a few good ones in the homebrew space but I don't think they've ever had an official stat line But as for the psionic races, frankly I don't think there's really enough fanfare for them. Don't get me wrong, they've done some rare stuff in 5E that...

Oh yeah, I know Dark Sun half giants, but the fact there's been more editions where half giants are indistinguishable from goliaths makes them a bit of an outlier. 3.5e, 4e and 5e link goliaths and half-giants. The Expanded Psionic ones are the ones that ended up the Goliaths, just losing the...

I mean, technically they're TSR's fault. 3.5e goliaths are just the 3e stats for Dark Sun half-giants, but with the psionics stripped away and replaced with cold resist. Its just, y'know,, being "The big guy" was all half giants really had for them, so of course their setting-neutral variant...

They're weighed down with useless stuff that's irrelevant to the character concept. Let's be simple: If you want a ranger, you either want a duel-wielding swordsman like Dritz, or you want a survivalist. So let's look at what Bard offers. Stat line? Completely wrong. Bards are set up to be the...

Less doesn't work as well as more, and debatably, not better. It runs into that issue where you start getting things useless to your class concept if you have to look at classes, or need to re-invent the wheel. Like, let's take a peak at your two ideas... Bard is useless for the idea of a...

The negatives on it have mostly been lore related, whereas actual subclass discussion has been relatively positive if I recall You do have to remember though, in terms of negative? The original PDK has one of the most negative receptions of any subclass, short of original Beastmaster and the...

Eh? Wish really doesn't have limits outside of stat boost related stuff Just FYI but like, in actual solar eclipses, they'll affect like 100 miles at tops. Solar eclipses are always a regional thing. Unless its a lunar eclipse but outside of 'oh hey blood moon', lunar eclipses don't really get...

Its a minor part of the setting that's tied to one of 5E's most maligned subclasses that could not just continue as it was. Newcomers are confused why the class named after Purple Dragons has nothing to do with Purple Dragons, the class has always been weak and "Why isn't this just a paladin?"...

Armanites are centaur demon things, they appeared in... Some monster manual, somewhere You can't really keep Planescape out of the discussion when it comes to demons because like... Mariliths aren't presented in Core D&D. Their lore has been tied to Planescape for absolute decades to the point...

I'd be fine with it personally. Eclipses are common enough on the planet and Wish is Wish. Big stuff like this is its ballpark Now, the problem is, yeah, you might arrange an eclipse, but not only have you pissed off all the gods involved, you may also may throw the seasons a bit out of whack...

Huh, there you go!

Nah, the 3E art was different. Had a background, showed the kraken as being massive due to size comparison, while the recent one is just by itself. The fandom wiki (as much as I loath that becursed website) has both pictures Unless there's some random Dungeon adventure I'm not aware of in 3E...

Also I will say in regards to the new Marilith, don't forget the Kraken situation The Kraken got a whole massive redesign that turned it from "Giant squid" into "Huge sea monster" in 5E. But, despite this, in Ghosts of Saltmarsh, where there's a baby kraken? Its based on the old 3E artwork...

Maeder have been gone for well over 20 years at this point. They weren't an iconic monster and "Yeah the curse medusa can affect men now" works a lot better than "There's this rare anti-medusa who shacks up with medusae and inverts the thing they do". Let's be honest, maeder weren't monsters...

I mean, she was only that in one alleged tale. Every other one, she's one of the three Gorgon sisters and never was a human

You're basically going to have to go into the dodgy side market side of things and, I gotta be honest? I don't know if there's much of a market for it But, yeah, Ebay or Reddit are going to be your areas and you maaaay want to keep the specific account on the downlow just in case

This annoyed me enough after the provided examples that, no, you're not escaping. We're dragging out some specific pokemon that note their intellect in terms of being why they have psychic potential Alakazam: Its brain can out-perform a super computer. Its IQ is said to be over 5,000 Slowking...

Oh come on, this is hardly 'twitter activists'. D&D has had issues with its portrayal of orcs for decades, and 5E was hardly innocent of things. About the best thing you can say about it was "I guess that wasn't as bad as what happened with Hadozee", but that's only a comparison in the way...

And my big ol' wall of text starting this thing was arguing against someone complaining about this change, who ignore that 'aren't always evil' entirely, and think they should always be evil and how dare a popular choice be playable Regardless though, given how much they're spicing up every...
