    D&D 5E (2024) Players Handbook 2024 Art and Design video from WotC

    Eye-crab familiar as being a thing that you can have sitting on your shoulder... Anyways I think we've seen all of the group pictures for all species except for Dragonborn, Halfling was I think shown way back in the first video, but this time it looks like we've got the group picture for Humans.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Not the same thing, but Bards can get access to Phantom Steed and that can be cast as a ritual, it's not useful for combat but quite good for travel and exploration.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Cleric"

    You can used a Wis-based ranged attack as a Cleric if you're a High Elf or a Tiefling (with the possible exception of Chthonic Tiefling depending on whether Chill Touch was changed or not).

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Video Schedule: July 1st-12th!

    Probably some previews on species, though they might be short enough they could double up on them with 2 species per video.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    Genasi are not that far behind in design, as they were last in Monsters of the Multiverse which was done around the time they started working on the 2024 rules. They'd probably though be written as one entry now with 4 or more legacies.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Cleric"

    Clerics haven't had that many interesting Cantrips as Sacred Flame all the time doesn't feel that great to me, but they've added Toll the Dead and Word of Radiance at least. Bonus Cantrips from species would be a really desirable thing to use with that damage bonus for Clerics.

    D&D 5E (2024) What is the 2024 Bard Power Source?

    Power Source isn't much of a thing anymore, but the Bard and Words of Creation, well that's tied to the Language Primeval concept from previous editions along with the Last Word in Planescape's Dead Gods adventure that Orcus as Teneborous used to kill Primus and Maanzecorian.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Anyways I considered the idea that a Dance Bard with Evasion might drop area of effect spell on themselves and allies, and hope that Evasion lets them avoid damage from their own spells. Probably not the best idea most of the time.

    They stated somewhere that Flame Strike was going to do more damage.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Dance Bards and Valor Bards might be more likely to cast Foresight at the beginning of the day, as soon as they get access to 9th level spells. Even though Foresight is often thought of as being the weakest 9th level spell. It's advantage to everything and disadvantage to get hit, while...

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    The Iconic Tiefling Bard is of Elven ancestry, and the Aasimar Celestial Warlock seems to be of Dwarven ancestry. Though they're Planetouched species, where it's traditionally been the case of being Planetouched overriding the other ancestry.

    No I made that comment back in the thread about the Paladin, before it got buried under everything about Smite being nerfed.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Going by the last UA it was still get all back on Short Rest, it just was that the spell slot thing was something they added to it.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    Assume that the Bard spell list is mostly the same as it was before but with more spell options. Magical secrets now means, they pick Wizard, Cleric or Druid, and from then on they can pick a spell from one of those lists when the get more spells known (or exchange an old Bard spell known for a...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Bard"

    -Mostly what I expected for the Bard, they'd keep the Bard spell list, but Magical Secrets would be all access to another class' spell list -At least they made some of the Dance Bard's abilities more team-oriented even if I still see it as the "Monk-Bard" -I think this is the first time we've...

    I for one am glad I haven't seen a sign of Dragonboobs yet, yes I know some people are really into such a thing.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Monk"

    Stunning Strike was made the Monk too one note. Yes a failed Stunning Strike is like hitting something with a Weapon Mastery of Slow+Vex, but it does setup the opponent for another party member to do something else to them. And I'd say they're less MAD than before, they don't need to invest in...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Cleric"

    It might be more of "well someone has to play a Cleric" even though Bards and Druids can very much fill in on the healing if needed.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    He's not a Frost Goliath because I'd think he's have blue skin and white hair if he was, maybe a Fire Goliath but he doesn't really match the Warrior of Elements Monk which is a Fire Goliath.
