D&D 5E - Full List of Monsters in Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse

Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse contains revamped stat blocks for 260 monsters previously published in previous Dungeons & Dragons 5E books. The list was compiled by YouTuber Bob Worldbuilder based on some blurry screenshots originally shared by Nerd Immersion (see the video...

www.enworld.org

While reprinted, these races have all been updated to the current standard used by WotC for D&D races used in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything, including a free choice of ability score increases (increase one by 2 points and another by 1 point; or increase three by 1 point), and small races not suffering a movement speed penalty.

The video below from Nerd Immersion delves into the races in more detail.

So, uh, what's the big deal with Warlords? I keep hearing people talk about them but I have no idea what's up.

Many people want a martial class that serves as a controller or support character.

Warlords and damage-on-a-miss?
I feel like I fell through a time portal.

I think I've overspent my time in the thread. The new list of elves lineages looks pretty good; I'm looking forward to picking up a copy of it for my table. See ya'll in the next thread.

Okay. Weirdly enough I'm fine with it. In fact, I think one of the few times I played 4E I played a Warlord. So, I'm on team Warlord.

 

[Remathilis]

Still praying we can get tiny and large player species options. Though I lost hope of that happening when we got shetland pony centaurs.

I'm pretty sure if fairies are small and centaurs medium, there is no hope of large/tiny races

 

[HammerMan]

Go start a warlord thread then. I want to discuss the 30 races and what will change in them.

okay like I said no offense, but someone literally asked for an example of people calling out not wanting to talk about advanced martials a few pages back... sorry your example was too good. And this grew out of talking about how the race/lineage change is enough to just come up to the line without crossing it for new editions...

3rd party publishers will probably go the same route.
Tribality publishing already follows the new design principles.

I don't mind the ability score thing so much. Since 2015 I've allowed PCs to take one +1 from an ability score with a +2 bonus and put it anywhere else to a maximum of +2 and regular humans can take one +1 and put that anywhere else for a maximum of +2.

Xanathar's was fine but slight enough that it was only worth getting at a major discount. Tome of Foes was good. Tasha's has nothing I want. And I've purchased two adventures and not been really impressed. Mad Mage was the last thing I bought and I found it so bad I have no desire to buy any more adventures.

I don't find homgenizing the races to be interesting. If you take away ability score differences the answer isn't to make everything else more similar. I don't want more races. I don't want more spells (God, do i not want more spells). I want more depth and not more breadth.

I just look at what WotC is making and just shrug my shoulders and say "meh".

Yeah it won't ever happen. I just wish it had.

Just another thing removed in the name of dumbing down the edition to delete anything interesting.

They were a VERY popular 4E only class.

I hear what you are saying: I haven't bought a WotC book since December of 2021, and at the rate they are going it might be months before I buy another.

To expand on my above post:

I bought Level Up sight unseen. I didn't follow the development at all. I bought it solely because I trusted Morrus et. al. to make something interesting. Got my PDFs and was blown away by the chargen section.

Lineage+Culture+Background (I think I have the terms correct) is exactly what I wanted. It was a better implementation than I could have done myself, which is why I paid someone else to do it. The humans are interesting. I repeat: THE HUMANS ARE INTERESTING! ADHD (well, the hyperfocus part) is a human trait, and not an obviously negative one. I can't imagine WotC ever doing anything to make humans interesting. What they'll give us is 10 more races, 15 more subraces of elves, and make everything fey because that sells. It's all "meh" compared to interesting humans.

That's just one example from the various 3rd party stuff I've purchased.
