D&D (2024) D&D species article

That really has nothing to do with that.

It does. The lack of touching of Powerful Build on Largeness compared to Little Giant is due to

1)the pulling of skills out of species.
2) the stress of skills and feats being human and the ensuing niche protection

I wonder how many decent cross-species combos are going to be available from the 10 species that are currently in the 2024 PHB. As far as I can tell (and I could be wrong about the number), there are 45 cross-species combos here.

Which were the 10 that got in again?

Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all.

I hate Goliath´s Powerful built.

Against unarmed attack grapples it does absolutely nothing.

Neither do you get advantage on checks to resist grapples, not do you get advantage on ability checks to end the grapple condition.

I am slightly confused by your post.

The ability does specifically give you advantage on the save to end the grappled condition. Edit: Oh, okay, went and reviewed the condition. You can escape as an action, or you can wait til the end of your turn for the saving throw.

Yeah, I can see just changing this to advantage against grappling to cover the start, the action, or the save. I don't think that would be too big of a change.

Aasimar, Dragonborn, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Goliath, Halfling, Human, Orc and Tiefling.

Those do all seem like things a person with a powerful build would have. It's almost like WotC is fine with words meaning something different than you would expect them to with no explanation.

Find Traps spell, I am looking at you!

You misspelled "Invisibility"

I mean, at least it consistently includes being unseen.

Find traps does not, in fact, find them. Still.

What does Find Trap do?

What does Find Trap do?

Detects the broad presence of some types of intentionally made traps somewhere vaguely near you within 120' in any direction. Which...you likely already knew if you wanted to cast the spell in the first place. It doesn't find where they are however, or how many there are, or their range away from you, or a vague direction.

It's about as useless a use of a 2nd level spell slot as there is. I am pretty shocked WOTC didn't fix it for this edition.
