That includes Half-Orc and Half-Elf (presumably, without ASI, since that now comes with Background; hinted at in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-4mPDrylfo" target="_blank">this video</a> starting around 3:05)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There's a note about Custom Lineage still being available, presumably with a second Origin feat (and not a general feat), but nothing in the interview as presented.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">most recent version of something supersedes previous ones. (Note: interviewer doesn't ask about playing a Kobold, because he knows the answer is that the MotM version supersedes the Volo's [hence the name of his channel], and he prefers Volo's).</li> </ul>All in all really useful insights.</blockquote>
