D&D (2024) Humanoids in the MM...

Is that explanation in the books? Are there statblocks for all the different types?

No. In his blog. Quite new. And then he explained that similar explanations were created when the rule change from 3.0 to 3.5 happened.

So either one bemoans hiw anyone can be so mean to change something so it does not perfectly fit into your world, or one finds a solution how all that happened in the world.

Of course, that is if you are accepting that lore evolves.

I forgot that anything that is not at least 30 years old is no lore.

Irrelevant. You didn't answer my question. Can you show me in the new lore where they explain how two functionally identical creatures somehow have different creature types?

Keith has his own setting. Any setting can have its own lore. And for the record I like Eberron's lore. For Eberron. That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about how the same creature has a different creature type depending on whether the game presents it as a PC or an NPC. Where's the explanation for that?

Yes. It is in the video. Probably also in some book in the immediate future.

Why are psionic goblins in Phandelver aberrations?

 

[Micah Sweet]

Watch the video.

I don't really feel press releases and other marketing materials are acceptable equivalents for words in the book.

 

[Micah Sweet]

Yes. It is in the video. Probably also in some book in the immediate future.

I hope its in the book then. Everything else is too ephemeral for me.

Why are psionic goblins in Phandelver aberrations?

Are they? If so I have no idea. An explanation in their monster entry should be provided.

It is. They either got messed up by the Far Realm or made a deal with some sort of Aberration.
