Is Eberron the only exception for the flaws pointed out by the OP? In Eberron languages are cultural and have historic reasons for being used. "In Eberron, languages reflect culture and geography; a dwarf raised in Breland might not know Dwarvish, but a halfling raised in the Mror Holds might...

This is what the Monster Manual has to say about alignment, specially the neutral one: "The alignment specified in a monster’s stat block is a default suggestion of how to roleplay the monster, inspired by its traditional role in the game or real-world folklore. Change a monster’s alignment to...

Great, now I have to search the internet for this books... :ROFLMAO:

edit: I didn't see when the post was made, don't want to reopen discussion, on a meme from last week XD

Keith also published 3 books about Eberron in the DM's Guild and they are all pretty great!

The Secrets of Xen'drik book goes really depp into the continent. it's a 3.5 sourcebook that is available on DM's Guild. https://www.dmsguild.com/product/51648/EBERRON-Secrets-of-XenDrik-35

Yes, I thought I wrote that, but looking at the post, seems like I forgot . :ROFLMAO:

I'm kind of late to the conversation, but the Lizardfolk in the MM are explicitly said to be the elemental variants of them. The humanoid Lizardfolk are nowhere to be found in the MM.

Just read the OP... all I have to say is that if someone understands what it means to be cool it's Mike Mearls :ROFLMAO:

This actually hurts me :ROFLMAO:

I don't think this is something anyone here wants to happen...

It's related mainly to this part: "For a while now, Wizards has had a reputation for discouraging homebrew. As a big business, they prefer for you buy their options. " This sounds very cynical to me, when they have their products for sale on Wizards channels...

WotC is a bad company, owned by a even worse company, not trying to defend them. But to me, if you need to put down another product to make yours look good, its because yours is not that great to begin with... And its hard for me to accept all this moral high ground that Kobold Press wants to be...

You know that Kobold Press is in partnered with WotC right? Their product is literally on sale on DnD Beyond. This all reads hipocritical to me, even mre so when they say DnD doesn't support homebrew, while selling Kobold Presses third party products on their website...

The main reason I think it's not too high is 5e's design. Fights against solo enemies tend to be really really easy in 5e, and most monsters have multi attack so this will be really good against one attack and useless against the rest, so it will end up being completelly fine.

yup. But I think that's the point. Is deflect attacks strong in ideal situations? YES. Does the monk need help in those specific situations? absolutelly. Does that mean deflect attacks is too strong and should be nerfed? no! It's the main reason monks will survive at tables, we like or...

Deflect attacks is an essential piece that helps solve one of the two main problems with the class.... monks die a lot because they are squishy.

Why are we saying deflect attacks is too strong? Monks are a class with low AC and a bad hit die for a melee fighter. Giving them a way to reduce damage once a turn is a good way to keep them viable in melee, and it is a flavourful design that plays different from other classes tanking options...

to be fair... this point is only really valid at level 5, after that, all the monks attacks do force damage.

And, if we really look at this discussion, "looking like a commoner on level 1" is a really weird metric to see if a class is good or bad.
