D&D 5E (2014) Eberron: Forge of the Artificer

So we know that there are going to be five revised species, so what do folks think they will be? Changelings, Kalashtar, Khoravar, Shifters, and Warforged seem a safe bet for inclusion, but I'm surprised that this means we won't get Goblinoids given how core they are to the setting. Thoughts?

Yeah, those 5 are confirmed. We already have playable Govlinoids in Monsters of the Multiverse, at least, though I wouldn't be surprised of they get revisited sooner rather than later.

An Eberron book would have been my first bet for revised Goblinoids, but the early ad copy for Forge said only those five. So my second guess is the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor next year, given how much they seem to feature in that setting and the strong push to make them more distinctly fey in nature.

Found this art on D&D Beyond... is that a shifter? Or is it something else I don't know about?

This is a shifter, specifically it is the same character seen in the Artillerist preview page. They wear the same exact outfit with the same facial markings, so this is her shifted form.

Yeah, goblinoid PCs are a general thing now, not specific to Eberron. If there is a new "general" book they might be updated in that.
