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.

And suddenly I have images of Mirror Universe Drizzt with a mustache and beard.

Surprisingly, he'd probably end up more canon, Perkins style, than legit Drizzt himself.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

It's my opinion, but I stand by it.

Fair enough. But right now it is pure unfounded speculation.

 

[Maxperson]

Surprisingly, he'd probably end up more canon, Perkins style, than legit Drizzt himself.

Yeah. I've never had an urge to play a Drizzt clone until now.

Me: "So I had this idea for a Drizzt clone."
DM: "CG Loner Drow Ranger with two weapons?"
Me: "Um, not exactly."

 

[HammerMan]

even in 2e I argued that half or more of the drow IN menzo should be neutral not evil... they just want to get by. More of the left over half are evil by a wide bearth, but some should be good and trying to get by,

 

[UngeheuerLich]

speed in D&D (and most non magics feats) for the last 7 years have all been less than human max.

You can not make a 5e human fighter without magic trained in athletics at highest prof level (is that 17 or 18?) that is as fast as an Olympic athlete, can jump as far as an Olympic athlete, can not lift or carry as much worlds strongest man... and even the most accurate 5e human fighter misses the bulls eye 5% of the time (I;m not 100% sure on this but pretty sure that Olympic archers miss less than that).

You have advantage vs bull's eyes. So it is just 1/400. Elves with elven accuracy have only a 1/800 chance to miss.

Neutral I could see, but in 2e in a city ruled by evil Drow priestesses with Know Alignment spells, being good is just a front row invitation to the evening sacrifice.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

One advantage of giving every race a 30' movement speed is that it eliminates a line of text from every single race entry - which really adds up if you're going to have a lot of races in a book.

It also saves playtime, because you don'thaveto discuss why exactly 5ft of movement make a difference... (in Theater of mind at least).

I wonder what the world record is for heaviest backpack worn for various physical activities (climbing walls, extended hikes, swimming (?) etc...) -- RAW is 300 pounds at 20 STR with no penalty for any activities, right? (Different if it's wearing armor and not a backpack; the optional rule changes it a lot).

And in Pathfinder and DND, Changelings are the children of Hags and can suffer a potential bad ending fate of becoming a Hag too if everything goes according to the Parent Hag's plans.

No, they’re not. That isn’t a thing.

 

[Parmandur]

No, they’re not. That isn’t a thing.

Looks like that is a Pathfinder thing (peak Grimdark Aughts stuff there). Totally not a thing in D&D, though.
