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

In your perfectly good 2014 PHB book, that will still work with One-D&D because of Backwards Compatibility.

except for stats... and spell lists... and backgrounds...and feats. Other then that yup 20114phb all the way

Is this the first instance of sign language in D&D? That's cool.

First one for Common that I'm aware of. Drow had one for their language since 1e days.

Rangers sharing spells with Druids!

But my Hunters Mark Exclusivity!
And my arrow spells?

I hope rangers don't become minidruids and paladins miniclerics.

I can only save the world for so long. shrugs

Lots of creatures deal poison damage.

Lots are poison immune, probably one of the most if not the most common monster immunity.

the thing is this is an elf or human reskinned... for the last 30 years at least half elf has NOT been just a human or elf that looks different but a distinctive choice... and again for something that promise "We are only adding new things not taking things away" they have taken away half orc and half elf...

What you miss is that compatibility does not mean that you can mix everything together. But that you can use 2024 pcs in 2014 adventures, alongside 2024 characters.
Monsters not being able to crit won't change a thing.
PC crits only for weapon damage rolls is a differwen thing. Here you might either say: only one rule, or each character uses the respective rule of their edition. And so on.
I currently don't see why a 2024 gnome can't play with a 2014 one.

In the video discussing this UA, it's mentioned that classes will have some of their own unique spells still in addition to their "core" list.

Rangers are pretty much the martial branch of the Druidic faith anyway.

Yes but players don't tend to be, so poison resistance is very helpful.
