I'm sure there are many, many examples of why height or size is not a determinant of movement speed.100%D&D seems increasingly targeted at younger players (for the same reasons most things are targeted at younger "consumers") and people who are new to ttrpgs (because that expands the customer base), while holding on to enough elements that will still vaguely look like D&D and keep as many older players as possible/profitable.You will still have to pay for MotM to access some or most of this new content. I imagine a core sampling of the MotM races will be available to any registered DDB user.With the removal of slower movement rates and Sunlight Sensitivity, I think including a way to give your character a mechanical flaw might be a useful feature for 5.5. Beef up the Flaw part of Personality Traits in Backgrounds, or something. That way if your character was raised in the bowels of the earth, you can have Sunlight Sensitivity. Etcetera.</blockquote>
