D&D (2024) Monster manual Fey video up

I don't mind the idea that there is an essential "feyness" that gets diminished when away from the Feywild. I think that has lots of cool story potential.

I think there should be a feat that lets a goblin, elf or gnome PC get some of that feyness back and change types, actually. that would be cool.

Perhaps not a feat but a boon. Something the DM can give and drift the character to recovering their feyness.

 

[Reynard]

Ah ok. So take the origin feat later...

no.

Or fey touched feat.

double no.

Or just make it a special reward (blessing). There are examples in the DMG for such thing and this seems apropropriate. Because as feats it needs a certain level. A blessing can bestowed whenever you want.

That would work, too, but those are harder to balance. A feat has a known value.

Feats are easier to balance, I think.

That bullywug is wearing a wig made of corndogs.

... I think I love bullywugs now.

 

[UngeheuerLich]

no.

Ok

double no.

Ok.

Changing a creature type seems out of the power budget for a feat and antithematic. The higher level, the more of a hindrance being a fey is, as high level spells often specificaly work vs nonhumanoid types. And most humanoid targeting spells have an equivalent that works on monsters (Charm, dominate, hold etc.)

 

[UngeheuerLich]

I think you are are engaging in a little cherry picking. Not everyone commenting is mad about it.

Depends where you are looking... here on enworld it is ok.

 

[UngainlyTitan]

Feats are easier to balance, I think.

Are they? A boon is essentially a wonderous items not attached to an item but directly to the character. Feat slots are rare and valuable and compete with a full A.S.I. it would strike me that boons are an excellent mechanic to enable character abilities that reflect the ongoing thread of the story. I will admit that more examples and better advice would help a lot.

Weak. Thats all there is to say about that.

The also said they are working on a book with non-humanoid player options too.

This is cool and all, but I just dont like the inconsistency. Personally I would love it if Elves were Fey, it makes sense.
