D&D 5E (2024) Exploring Eberron 2024 -- Gnolls and other gnew character options

[bedir than]

It's like they're not talking to each other.

Correct, the third party creators and WotC don't coordinate rules development.

On the rules side I remain sad that every goblin version in 5e is uninteresting when compared to the other goblinoids. This one being basically a halfling is sad. The official version doing tiny HP more damage is pathetic compared to the hobgoblin superhelp or bugbear's surprise attack.

Bringing half-orcs back? When can we expect half-elves?

You technically got them in DND 2014 and Eberron:Forge of the Artificer.

Are the new Aasimar Subspecies descended from other kinds of Celestials (Archons, Guardinals, etc.) or just another kind of Angel?

Neither, they are associated with Eberron moons/planes. As are regular aasimar in Eberron.

That is because this isn't official WotC. This is Keith Baker's 3pp company who made this using DMsGuild and just got it added to Beyond as partner content. So what Keith did was present alternatives to the goblinoids from MotM, not replacements. WotC design had no hand in this.

I think I hadn't fully appreciated this -- thanks. And so of course it means the great (Gnolls, better Bugbear) will still need a (almost certainly less good, if at all) WOTC version...

Yeah people seem to think it's first-party content for some reason- is it just because it's an Eberron product and there was a recent 1pp Eberron release? Or is it listed as a 1pp on DnDB?

So, the Moon-Touched then. "I am an Aasimar of Fernia, the plane of Fire."

Quite there is literally a Fernian aasimar. Was in the original EE too.

We already got them in Eberron: Forge of the Artificer last year

Are they the equivalent of a Fire Genasi with regards to their species' abilities? curious
