[QUOTE="dave2008, post: 8843840, member: 83242"] I didn't see this noted in the main thread about the Origins UA survey results so I thought I would start a new one to highlight something I thought was significant. Within the first 5 minutes of the survey results video Crawford implies that, unlike a lot of speculation I have seen on these forums including my own, feats will still be optional in 2024 D&D. He mentions (and I am paraphrasing here) that he was concerned about the 1st level feat in the UA because feats are optional and he didn't know if including one in a background would upset those who do not use feats. They way he said this implied to me that the intent is for feats to remain optional and the 1st level feat is a one time feat/feature requirement. EDIT: To clarify I mean feats past 1st level will continue to be optional How did you interpret his statement? Also, something else I thought was significant: The design team expects you t be use the Fizban and MotM race options (and presumably all extent race options) along side any options in the 2024 PHB. The 2024 PHB is not replacing those options (if it has them at all), it is just providing new options. [/QUOTE]
