D&D 5E (2024) Solasta 2 and the 1/2 elf

[Valetudo]

I would take the 1/2 races over all the new races too be honest.

And they could still have done that story, even if they had gotten 3 Human or 3 Elf mechanics, rather than 3 'Half-Elf' ones.

and they could've even done the half-elf story with 3 dwarf mechanics or no mechanics at all, doesn't mean they should've.

 

[Valetudo]

I like how some of you use the tiefling which is not a race but humans mixed with fiends asa reason we shouldn't have half elves.Im going to make a prediction right here. Half elves will be in 6th editions phb.

2024 has gone back to Tieflings are Fiend mixed with something else. While not explicitly stated, the Iconic Bard in the art is a Tiefling of Elven ancestry who's possibly related to the Iconic Elven Sorcerer, while the Celestial Warlock art depicts an Aasimar of Dwarven ancestry.

 

[Kobold Avenger]

Also reconfirmed it again looking in the 2024 PHB, nowhere in the Tiefling entry is the word "Human" ever used. And Aasimar has the words "any mortal community"

 

[Valetudo]

Its still just a mixed race. But devil's are ok, humans are not now.

 

[Valetudo]

They have mixed tie flings with other races since they came out.

 

[Kobold Avenger]

Tieflings are once again also not Devil only. As the entry goes on about Demons, Yugoloths, Night Hags, Succubi and more.

 

[Valetudo]

Dude your missing the point.

Nope because there’s a part that just works. Their world like ours isn’t an ideal world. Tanis in Dragonlance doesn’t work as an elf. Tons of examples like that
