D&D 5E Check Out Planescape's Table of Contents & More!

Brandes Stoddard has received a copy of Planescape: Adventures in the Multiverse (which come out in two weeks!) and is posting loads of photos over on Blue Sky. You can check out his feed for the whole treasure trove--here's a look at the table of contents.

What if the Aberration Githzerai are simply intended to be examples of Githzerai who have the Limbo Planar Traits (which I assume turns you into an Aberration).

A cleric spell that grants Planar Traits to PCs & Allies is a missed opportunity.

This is a great way to create Fallen Celestials, Risen Fiends, MechSlaads, and Aberration Fairies. I wonder if the Aborea trait will turn creatures into Celestials or Fey. I'm betting on Celestials because Elves born on Aborea automatically have the trait basically.

Yeah I know that. I just rather they bring one of those to 5E or make a new option if we're going with an Abberation playable pc option.

Then again, the Kalashtar pc can technically be refluffed as an Aberration pc option since its traits are very Aberrant. The Psurlon monster stat block in the spelljammer bestiary pretty much had Dual Mind and was resistant to Psychic Damage. And that was typed as Aberration.

Oh, Kalashtar are 100% Aberrations #The QuoriDidNothingWrong

Naaa, it's normal for the Githyanki to view Githzerai as aberrations to the system. winks.

I'm excited to hear more about the rilmani!

Curious how the art looks! The 2E versions had a certain 80's Jim Henson vibe.

They did give us playable Undead(ish) in Rabenloft...at least Dhampires and Returned republished would probably juat be given the Undead tag.

Given that one of the few things we know about the Monateranual is that they want to increase the variety of potential encounters for all 14 Creature Types across all Levels...thinking are going to see some recategorization as well as new options.

That's why I'm not too worried that we didn't get the full run of archons and guardinals in this book - the '14 MM was notorious for its minimal selection of Celestials, so it seems pretty likely they're saving some for the '24 MM.

Getting 200 new stat blocks, no doubt a big chunk are Celestials: I think we will see Ardlings as low Level Celestials. Also a good spot to refresh the Lore.on Eladrin, amd how the Celestials there relate to the Fey and Elves.

 

[Perky the Dragon]

I agree with the later stuff, but early on had alot of duds, like Halflings Bobble heads.

Ah, I had forgotten about those haha. I much prefer the Pathfinder halfling look.

 

[Twiggly the Gnome]

Wonder if they are going 'Got Psionics? You are an aberratoin.'

I think that's the spin WotC has been trying to push for a good while now, psionics = tentacle sorcery.

Which is...slanderous.

Its supposed to be esoteric crystals and spiral tattooing!
