The Fey mono typing that a number of races have so far can easily allow them to no sell/make trivial some spells. So, it seems like they are "attempting" to enforce the somewhat strict balance, by bounded accuracy definition of balancing, in that regards. Same with Magic Resistance apparently no longer counting towards "Magical Effects" alongside spells. And when you now include these "Spell-Like Attacks" that supposedly don't count as "spells" anymore, then Magical Resistance would count for jack. Same with the Yuan-Ti/Pureblood: They now can't no sell a room full of poison unless it was poisonous snakes in said room where the poison was coming from.As you see, they seem to "now" be addressing the whole deal with Natural Weapons and apparently making it so that way, how its described in this book, you wouldn't be able to do any kind of shenanigans such as Dhampir Paladins making their teeth become Smiting Dentures. Same way a Tabaxi/Minotaur, Etc wouldn't be able to Smite with their Natural Weapons, or even have them "buffable" via spells. Which I think is stupid as I wouldn't see anything wrong with a Dhampir Paladin taking a bite outta Strahd with Shinging, Radiant Teeth. But WoTC is gonna WoTCI do wonder though: If you had an enemy with Favored Enemy, would a Shadar-Kai count if a monster/enemy/PC had Favored Enemy: Elf and could use its effect to track the Shadar-Kai PC better? If an enemy was equipped with certain weapons that did extra damage to Fey and what not, would the Changeling now suffer extra damage from the attacks? If it was an Elf Bane weapon, would the Shadar-Kai be in trouble too?And if you allowed Racial Feats at level 1 for a PC, does that mean any Goblinoid would qualify for any of the Elven Racial feats due to both races now having a shared link to the Feywild in some way? (I mean, I'd allow it as such. Just like how I would allow any "giant-kin" PC race being able to qualify for Dwarven Racial feats.)And finally: I chuckle a bit at the fact that WoTC basically gave the Goliath a trait called Little Giant. Man, they hella just gave the finger to large size race beggers.</blockquote>
