[QUOTE="ManBagel, post: 8243835, member: 7022714"] TL;DR: Tell me what you think about Fey Folk and Gothic Lineage UA. I personally am happy with what WotC is doing with these races. Even if it seems like I nitpick. Dhampir and Fairy needs tweaking. Reborn and Hexblood should be Starting Feats, or boons. Doesn’t work as a race in my option. [URL unfurl="true"]https://media.wizards.com/2021/dnd/downloads/UA2021_FeyFolk.pdf[/URL] [URL]https://media.wizards.com/2021/dnd/downloads/UA2021_GothicLineages.pdf[/URL] When I modified races for my campaign, I added that innate spellcasting to have the option to change the spellcasting modifier to Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. I doubt WotC is Incahoots with Google and read my Google Docs for ideas, but I love that they did this for the new races. Hopefully they add a variant rule that allows the other races with spellcasting to do the same as well. Owlfolk and Rabbitfolk don’t need tweaking, besides changing the Creature Type to Beast or Humanoid and Beast. [B]Dhampir (28? on Detect Balance)[/B] Ok, this race is missing a few things from it.
