D&D 5E D&D Beyond's Epanded Racial Feats are available on DM's Guild

[Remathilis]

So for everyone who was throwing a fit about "Pre-order DLC" being unavailable for non-D&D Beyond pre-orders, the D&D Beyond team put a PDF of their expanded racial feats online here: http://www.dmsguild.com/product/226194/Expanded-Racial-Feats.

Its a $2.99 download if you want access to it. It included one (or more) racial feats for all the races in Volo's Guide (even the monstrous ones), Aarakroca, Genasi, and Tortle.

Hopefully, that means people won't go buck-nuts the next time D&DB includes some pre-order benefits with their content...

Thanks for the heads up. I think people were going crazy when they thought it was exclusive WotC content. Knowing that it's not official, just from Curse like any other 3rd party, it's not as big a deal.

Or they're just crazy.

The pre-order feats honestly aren't even that desirable or needed. The custom backdrops and custom portrait frames for characters, however, are awesome. I love the animated ones.

+1. I didn't think I'd care about those customisations at all. But now that I have them, I do. The feats, on the other hand...

Yeah - these are just well publicized Homebrew.

If they want to really get us on board, they need to roll out something that makes use of the new materials, such as a supplementary adventure, NPCs, etc...

However, rather than spend time on this stuff, I would prefer they fully implement the materials in the books at release. Hexblade does not work correctly, for example. It doesn't use Charisma for attacks.

That's cool that they did feats that's not in the book, but for AL players, they will never be legal due to the PHB +1 rule.

And they're just a third party product, anyway. You were never gonna see them in AL anymore than you'll see EN5ider feats.

Ok, they made it sound like it was something WotC was putting out that had stuff left out the book.

Yeah, they weren't terribly clear.

I was sad that the revised. Ranger didn't make it to the book. So beast master is always going to suck.

They were never going to do that. Whatever form the Ranger revisions will take will be released publicly for free.

If it's not in a book, it can never be. AL legal. I already have the book. I picked it up on Friday. Anyone on the fence of getting it, get the special cover special cover. The pictures do not do it justice. If anyone is old enough to have collected baseball cards, if they remember foil cards, it looks like that.

If it's part of the basic rules, which it will be, it is AL legal.

This is false. When dealing with AL, players can only use material from APPROVED PLAYER RESOURCE MATERIAL. Which are pretty much just limited to the books, and the player's guides for the season. But they are only limited to the PHB+1. The reason why the Death Cleric and Oath Breaker were not legal (without exception) was because they were in the DMG which is not a player resource.

They make the rules, they can change it so the Revised Ranger is available to everyone.

Nope. Look how tortles were released -- they were added to the Player's Guide as playable in AL.

Yep. The rules are a bunch of pdfs in a fairly loose community. They send a message to Jeremy, Mike et al saying "Hey, can we add this to the approved material for AL", they say "Yep" and the change is made. You don't need to get the Fellowship together in Rivendell to get this stuff done.

Right. I mean, WotC literally made the game and made AL. They can do whatever they want.

They might not make Revised Ranger AL legal, but they also might.

The Wizards folks have explicitly stated:

* They plan to make the final version of the Revised Ranger available for free
* Once it is out, both the Original Recipe and the Revised Ranger will be AL legal

I feel it's worth mentioning that the devs have signaled that they are not going to release the revised ranger as a standalone class but merely as a package of alternative class features for the PHB ranger. See here for more: The Future of the Ranger
