D&D (2024) Monster manual Fey video up

Whoops wrong thread

No. Not like that. That feat is for humans ore other non-fey people to have a touch of faerie in them.

I am talking about a feat meant for "humanoid fey" species that allows them to actually change their type to fey by re-energizing their connection to the feywild.

There probably should be feats like that, allowing an Elf to become Fey along with +1 to an ability score and some bonus magical stuff, or a Tiefling to become a Fiend or an Aasimar to become a Celestial.

But I think those feats were too specific to be something that would be in the PHB, I think they should be more something you'd see in a splatbook or rules expansion of some sort.

For those who want to dive into the video's D&D section, he begins talking about D&D at around the 39 minute mark.

wrong thread?

Or, you know, in the MM where they talk about the difference between fey elves and not Fey elves.

People need to watch what Jeremy said rather than relying on interpretation.

They said PC goblins come from a type of goblin that lost its fey connection over time. It's a type of goblin that is different from the monster manual goblin the same way psi-goblins from Phandelver are different. The MM goblin no longer represents the One True Goblin, only a specific type of them.

Your PC goblin is humanoid. Its parents were humanoids. Its community has humanoid goblins. Those are represented by NPC stat blocks, not MM goblins.

That is perfectly fine. This is basically the case with elves as well.

Weak. Thats all there is to say about that.

Wow. If Keith Baker says there are Gnolls that lost their fiendness, it is a brilliant idea.
If WotC says that for elves and goblins and giths, the idea is weak.

I'd rather have an origin feat for that. Specific (or special... what is the adjective to species...) origin feat.

I'd rather it not be, just because I feel it should have a higher "power budget".

I think it is more interesting if it happens later.

I dont believe I commented on Baker's take on Gnolls for his own game.
