D&D 5E (2024) All about Ardlings

[Tales and Chronicles]

Yeah, I'm in the ''Egyptian gods'' camp so: animal head + human body.

I don't know what wotc meant. I know that @HammerMan got me to search 'skunk woman fantasy art' and I think you will find any combo you want now

Don’t blame me blame the 14 year old girl that wants to play an anthropomorphic skunk swordswoman. And she wanted a tail and non damaging non climbing claws (so just slightly different fingernails)
I have no idea if this comes from a comic an anime or her own twisted mind.

did she choose medium or small and what linage? I don't see skunk under suggestions

After the Ardling get's integrated into the game for a while, I'd be curious to see how many people (as a percentage of the total) actually choose to use them over the multitude of other species available.

The decision to do Ardlings rather than Aasimar is astounding to me. Tieflings have been core for 2 editions now, but screw you Aasimar... nobody likes you.

I don't understand why people keep saying "rather than Aasimar" as if Aasimar are cut. They are in MPMotM, which is the book where you find races that are done 1D&D-style already. They were done FIRST - they're not out of the game.

If you're wondering why they're not in the 2024 PHB, well, they could be, they just don't need playtesting because they're already available. (This is true of the dragonborn, too, so I'm not sure why they threw another version in the playtest, but that's it's own problem).

What difference does that make? The suggestions are just that - suggestions. You can make any animal you like.

I'm more worried about dragonborn TBH

OT rant - I'm a bit irked that WoTC keeps on adding more and more species to the huge list of choices, yet they won't grandfather half elves or half orcs (in their original "form")

Cause in the other thread about his playtest he says she is new, like never even heard of D&D before seeing it on stranger things... so she went and did what took me 2 or 3 character creations before I could... made it her own and went without using examples... so I was wondering is all.
