D&D 5E Planescape 5e - everything we know & some speculation

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

Of those Astral Dragons and Chaos Dragons have MtG cards.

Is that important? Honest question, I have no idea how that relates to what we get in D&D products

Astral dragons (M:tG and D&D)

Chaos Dragon (M:tG and D&D).

Do you imagine the "reality glitchs" used as excuse for intercompany crossovers? For example they PCs are exploring an infernal plane, and suddenly they listen a lot of shots and explosions, and when they try to investigate they discover.... the doom slayer! (Yes, the one from the famous videogame saga). Or some monster from Blizzard's videogame Diablo.

* Could spikers from 3.5 Planar Handbook to become a tielfling variant?

The mephlings should return.

The retouch for the nathri is their "beards" can work as "poisonous jaws".

The quom from 4 Ed should be recovered for 5E.

Magic the Gathering now has crossover sets – e.g. they just did one for Middle Earth. There was a crossover set called Adventures in the Forgotten Realms that includes D&D creatures, characters, and places. The Chaos Dragon is from that set. So is the Astral Dragon (which was published for 5e in the Spelljammer book).

Could Mephlings be a Genasi variant? curious Mephits, like Genies, are elementals. I could also see these beings, Veela – d20PFSRD , siring a Genasi bloodline if they were in 5e.

I miss the paraelementals (ice, clay, magma, smoke..)

I got you.*

*Though it's Ooze and not Clay, at least in English.

There ethergaunts were too interesting to fall into the oblivion...

The kaorti also have got an wasted potential as grimm antagonists...

And the nerras from the plane of the mirror. These are perfect if you wanted to write a D&D creepypasta story. Something like the horror movie "Mirrors" with Kiefer Sutherland.

And some more.

Note that each type is under the first letter of that type (e.g. "Red Ethergaunt" is under R).

Spikers have always just been a lesser variation on the bladeling, which has more of an established history in Planescape.

If they were going to do anything, they'd probably just make a race/species statblock for bladeling and call it a day.

Actually the Chaos Dragon was from the Commander Decks linked to AFR, but they are not apart of AFR, they have their own expansion AFC, because AFC cards unlike AFR were not legal in Standard or Alchemy or Historic or Modern or Pioneer, unlike AFR cards and the Astral Dragon was from the Commander Legends: Battle For Baldur's Gate (whose existance I guess before anyone else) Commander Decks, athough they are concider apart of CLB because they are all targeted towards commander and legal in the same formats as the rest of CLB.

Astral Dragon & Chaos Dragon were cards made specifically for D&D Commander Decks, with gorgeous art that they could reuse and should reuse in the Planescape book, both were beautiful pieces of art, and would save them time and money on art.

If there is any mention of the Mazes in the 5e Planescape setting, maybe there will be more backstory on the Minotaur - DND 5th Edition They were supposedly created by the Lady of Pain to watch over the Mazes.
