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.

5.5 make encumbrance entirely optional

"I carry the halflings over the pass."

"Which halflings."

"All the halflings."

"Ok, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and Frodo climb on."

"No, you don't understand. All the halflings."

you might misunderstand and think I meant a lot of halflings, I mean ALL the halflings

 

[Cadence]

But seriously. I blame it on Minecraft. Have you seen what someone can carry in that game! No Bags of Holding needed. ::: Shakes fist at sky, and yells about lawn :::

And the horses they rode into town on.

I know some people like to take encumbrance into account at their tables, but don't a lot of games already ignore it without much issue? It's never seemed that difficult to me to apply the "within reason" rule to encumbrance: yes, you can carry 500 gold coins in your pocket without your pants sagging because video game conventions have primed us to see money as just a number, but no you cannot carry more than two bodies at a time or move at normal speed while doing so.

I am personally sad about the removal of light sensitivity because yes I agree that light sensitive races should be able to operate fine with the aid of sunglasses/veils/other accessories but the addition of those accessories lends so much roleplay potential. When I play a duergar in sunglasses, I want my DM to know that I am accepting the risk that my glasses will get stolen/dropped/broken in the right circumstances. That's the tradeoff I choose to make in exchange for other racial benefits.

 

[Faolyn]

okay, so where is the mod that lets us play warlord like characters? what about just more advanced martial characters that are on par with spell casters?

Level Up has all that.

But what about characters with just plain corrective lenses glasses? There's no rules for that, and there isn't a generic take a mechanical flaw to get mechanical benefits rules in official 5e, like how many other point-based RPG systems have.

Well, the Dhampir already has no sunlight penalities in Van Richten's, so one down...

And vampires didn't have a sunlight allergy until 1921, when Nosferatu put a new spin on things.

Aren't some of the Vampire myths based on people who had a certain medical conditions, which could include a sunlight allergy?

Unlikely, while nocturnal (like many monsters), folkloric vampires didn't have any particulary aversion to sunlight from what I've read.
