D&D (2024) The Dragons Video for the 2025 Monster Manual

Why is this in the dragon discussion?

I thought it was funny that they basically said “Chromatic Dragon Wyrmlings were too cute and players didn’t want to kill them.” Which is accurate in my experience.

No. Because their CR is too high for the Appendix in the PHB.

Do we need to address the CR 4 elephant in the room appendix?

...Meanwhile I'm over here thinking the new wyrmlings are some of the cutest D&D creatures I've ever seen.

Because if not there, then in the Dungeon thread.

Because there are too many different threads all talking about the new reveals, and it's hard to keep track of them all!

On the topic of the dragon video specifically, I like that Jeremy pronounced "geas" properly as "gesh".

I noticed that, and I'm glad to see it!!

But Dragonborn aren't.

This BTW creates a weird dynamic were Dragonborn are humanoids, but Kobolds are dragons, Gobiniods are Fey, but Elves aren't (with the exception of SOME monsterous Eladrin), and Gnolls are fiends, but Tieflings aren't (which also causes a massive lore issues in settings like Nentir Vale, Forgotten Realms, Eberron).

The PC rules aren't always going to be the same as the NPC/Monster rules. In the very same book that had Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears PCs as Humanoids with the Fey Ancestry trait, they had Hobgoblins as monsters/NPCs who were actually Fey.

I'm loving the new wyrmling art, but I wouldn't call them all cute (though the red is pretty cute)!
