D&D (2024) No Dwarf, Halfling, and Orc suborgins, lineages, and legacies

[Remathilis]

They don't, the rules are pretty clear on that, a Warforged isn't going to die if they enter an anti-magic zone.

Man, could you imagine if antimagic stopped dragon breath (and flight), killed undead, elementals and constructs, banished fey, fiends and celestials, and caused many impossible species to obey the laws of physics? That stuff would be OP.

The version of Sea Elf in Mordenkainen says, "you can breathe air and water", but doesnt explain how this happens. Presumably it is a magical feature, but not explicitly a spell feature.

Coming afterward, 2024 has a new more systematic format for the Elf species as a whole.

It is possible to update the Sea Elf along with other elven cultures according to the new Elf format.

In this case, the elven waterbreathing feature might be by means of a spell.


Keep in mind, 5e has three different versions of the Eladrin culture. One in the 2014 DMs Guide. One in Mordenkainens Tome of Foes. One in Mordenkainen Presents Monsters of the Multiverse. There can easily be a fourth version as an update to correspond to the 2024 core rules. A DM can choose to use any of these versions for a player Eladrin Elf.

The Sea Elf and the Astral Elf belong together..
..in the bin.

So do you consider the water breathing of tritons to be a spell? Mermaids? Sahuagin? Fish?

Given by the fact they give actual spells to many species including the elf we can quite easily see that sea elf’s waterbreathing ISNT from a spell, they wouldn’t give them a feature that depends on spellcasting and just not state it’s from spellcasting.

Nah, presumably the creature breath's air and water naturally, because its a biological feature of being a Sea Elf.

Enhh. I don't really see "the laws of physics" as something which could or should be defined readily enough within a fantasy-world context.

I think someone could at least formally tag effects (and maybe some creatures) as magic, and those effects (or creatures) could not exist in an anti-magic field.

Edit: Annnnd...I'd be delighted if elves were one such creature.

Maybe someone at WotC is reading this thread.

The pregens for the Tournament version of Lost Caverns includes two humans, a halfling, a gnome, a tiefling and a dwarf

Clearly fish innately cast Water Breathing, as Fish.

Fish arent Elves.

Elves arent Fish.

 

[Scribe]

Fish arent Elves.

Elves arent Fish.

And Sea Elves have a biological means of breathing water.

Good, we are aligned.
