D&D (2024) D&D species article

[CreamCloud0]

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.

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

just playing around with combining the base species concepts here

aasimar + dragonborn = eastern dragon based dragonborn or 'lóngborn'
aasimar + gnome = cherubs? cupids? just some variant of a celestial spirit entity
goliath + tiefling = oni

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.

Okay, I'm vaguely remembering that now. Yeah, really bad.

Orc + Tiefling= Tanarukk.
Elf + Tiefling= Fey'ri.
Elf + Halfling= Elfling (Dark Sun)
Dwarf + Human= Mul

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.

Where does it say, you can end it at the end of turn?

Find Traps spell, I am looking at you!

Or the Invisibility condition.

That was in the playtest, if memory serves. The video I was looking at the rules from cuts off the bottom of the grappled text, so I can't confirm it there

Disappointed they didn't change it.

But I basically turned the Dungeon Delver feat into the spell, since I use Traps so infrequently, it was never taken as a feat to begin with.
