[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 9717581, member: 18"] I mean, they haven't been exaggerated at all. It was literally removed and not even replaced with a section on how mixed-species PCs would work if I understand correctly. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've been repeatedly told literally no official 5E 2024 source has [I]any description whatsoever[/I] of how to handle mixed-species PCs. Which directly hard-contradicts what you're claiming. So either you're outright wrong or everyone who I've spoken to about this was. But is that true? That's precisely opposed to what I've been told by multiple people. Explicit has a meaning. It means: "stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt." Again, correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the [I]opposite[/I] of what you say is the case. That absolutely nothing is explicit re: mixed heritage in official 5E 2024 books, and there is no suggestion that you even can have mixed heritage. I could see making a weak case for "implicit", not "explicit", because "explicit" is straightforwardly wrong. To be clear, I don't have the 5E 2024 books, so I can't check, but I've asked people about this directly both when the PHB came out and when the DMG came out, and the answer I got was that no, there is no actual discussion of mixed-species characters at all, not even a paragraph or sidebar, nothing explicit. But if I haven't been lied to by several people (which is not impossible!), you must be, at best, confusing UA rules that never went in with the actual 2024 rules. On the main topic of the thread - This looks really good, though it's very strange to me that they set in Phandelin. And it's interesting that Kara-Tur is sort of reconfirmed as FR Japan, it always was but it'd been a while. Also the illustrations are great! [/QUOTE]
