D&D 5E (2024) First playtest thread! One D&D Character Origins.

Anyone else amused that the most obvious abbreviation for this would be OD&D?

W/o a doubt intentional.

And only but a few people online will be angry about it.

A lot of things we learn in the new video about 1D&D feels weird to me but at the same time Unearthed Arcana meterial is there to Playtest. Things like Crit being weapon/unarmed attack only generated by PCs and not DM, Crits and Human granting Inspiration, which are transferrable will be more common occurance, ASI through Background makes the whole Character Creation deconstructed even if in the final it looks similar to a 5E one.

Adding Tiefling Fiendish Origin options makes me happy.

Cthonic Tiefling means I can finally roll up my family of Arcanaloth-spawn (blame Shemeska's Planescape Story Hour) without having to resort to homebrew.

please explain please?

I'm definitely feeling like sorcerer is going to go in the PF2 direction and be able to use any of the arcane/divine/primal spell lists based on subclass. (Warlock will probably work this way too, depending on patron.)

Curious to see how bard will be handled, and what, if any, features wizards will get to enhance their spell access versatility.

While Ardlings are interesting, I hope that they are not in the One D&D PHB. I would probably prefer another popular player race: e.g., goblins, goliaths, genasi, kobolds, etc.

They're thinking about the feeling of progression when it comes to feats?

My little boys are growing up!
