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.

Wizard's already announced that this book is being released separately later on in the year so you'll get your wish.

But I've failed my "waiting patiently" saving throw!!!!

 

[Weiley31]

It simply feels very silly to me if all the dozens of completely differently shaped and sized fantasy species just happen to have physiology that results them having identical capabilities.

The Bard will make it work.

The Bard always does and has yet been stopped in that Tag obsessed world.

 

[Geoff Thirlwell]

My enthusiasm for 5e started to die when Tasha’s came out. I have no interest in this new book or the changes

 

[ART!]

I guess it's a breed of willing suspension of disbelief (or, to be less negative: willingness to believe); giving most or all "races" the same movement speed doesn't take me out of the game, doesn't bother me.

That said, I wouldn't be opposed to a system where races that have slower movement speeds get some minor benefit to compensate (arguments against balance aside).

Halflings shouldn’t be able to move that fast on such tiny little feet!

If anything, they should have to make a save not to topple over from being so top heavy whenever they lose their balance.

 

[JiffyPopTart]

Trying to use a Weapon with the "Heavy" tag makes you suffer disadvantage when using it IIRC.

Grappling rules involve size categories, also.

 

[pukunui]

Grappling rules involve size categories, also.

So do the mount rules (i.e. your mount has to be at least one size larger).

 

[AdmundfortGeographer]

Half way through the thread and I see a fresh new front for edition warring has been drawn.

 

[JiffyPopTart]

Okay, you have me hooked.

I've never seen someone ask for more Incarnum. Or remember Incarnum.

I personally liked the soul magic idea, but found the entire implementation goofy as all get-out.

What do you miss about it. What type of expansions are you looking for?

Incarnum was my favorite addon system after psionics. I think we had 4 Incarnists in our games, they had a very fresh feel about them.

 

[Peter BOSCO'S]

It's fascinating to me that WotC has just up and ditched the 25 foot movement speed for all of the smaller races. I recall that they tried doing that during the playtest and there was such an uproar against it that they switched it back for the final product.

Is it switched for all Small races, or just for the Small races in it? Aren't regular Halflings, Gnomes, and (non small) Dwarves still at 25'?
