[QUOTE="JEB, post: 8633978, member: 10148"] The MOTM Deep Gnome gets weakened versions of two components from the feat. Meanwhile, the Svirfneblin Magic feat is absent entirely from MOTM, despite being in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes. And MOTM is [URL='https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1201-faq-for-mordenkainen-presents-monsters-of-the#purchase']very heavily implied to supersede Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes[/URL], so the feat's omission from the newer book was most certainly intentional. So yes, you can have your MOTM Deep Gnome take the feat, and still even benefit from the feat. But it's very difficult for me to believe that's the designers' intent, considering the overlapping traits, and the feat being relegated to "Legacy Content". Eh, I still think it's an interesting question, even if you don't. If I had Twitter, I'd probably ask myself. MOTM is full of new mechanical elements that obviate old ones - namely new versions of nearly every race 5E has produced outside the core, and nearly two full books of monsters. I don't see those new versions as incompatibilities, but they are blatantly intended to replace the old stuff despite being technically compatible. But if you see obsolete elements as signs of incompatibility, well, that's a book full of new elements making old ones obsolete... Being even clearer, then: I doubt that any product after the 2024 revision will include racial feats. But again, I could be wrong. [/QUOTE]
