Looks like Spelljammer and/or Planescape is back on the menu!

But your pseudopod can carry it for you...

You can’t squeeze through small openings whilst wearing or carrying anything. That means you will have to strip and/or drop your equipment before taking advantage of this ability. At best, maybe you can hold your stuff on the other side of the opening with your pseudopod if you don’t need to go more than 10 feet from it. Maybe useful for squeezing under a door crack to open it from the other side or something. Unless your DM decides to be a stickler about the wording and rule that holding something in your pseudopod is still you carrying that thing, and therefore you can’t squeeze through small openings when doing so.

sure, but a wand will be pretty easy to carry around, even by pseudopod if needed.

The Plasmoid could even carry it inside of itself.

As someone who is not particularly familiar with planescape (I know of Sigil, factions, LoP, & the blood war), what about the setting needs to be updated? It seems to me that everything about planescape is pretty much fluff and could just be use directly from earlier sources.

First rule of Planescape is: Don't mess with the Lady of Pain.

Second rule of Planescape is: DON'T MESS WITH THE LADY OF PAIN!

Brad Pitt is somewhere in there for some reason.

STOP TRYING TO RUIN MY FLUBBER WILD SORCERER!

A plasmoid: Can I tell a joke about Spock?

The astral elf: you can, if I tell after other about Odo?

The scro: Don't say a word about the klingons!

This sounds as a fusion of planescape with Spelljammer, and borrowing some PC races from d20 Future(Star Frontiers+Star*Drive/Alternity).

I hope the return of the fraals (little greyskin aliens) in the future psionic handbook.

They are a lot of PC races for only a module/adventure.

The monsters girls are like a softer version of rule34. You may find something who creates the waifu version. Sometimes I imagine a female half-ogre as a PC, a kawai+Xena warrior princess version of little-ugly-duckling.

Who will buy Spelljammer? Who wanted to play a d20 version of their favorite sci-fi franchise.

About the three-ken with four arms, they can use a shield, one-hand weapons and two-hand weapon.

Not while using amorphous to squeeze through small openings.

This might not be connected to the new product, I say this because if it's being announced this month, why not just call it Spelljammer Unearthed Arcana?

With the Fey UA, they did include both stuff for Witchlight and Strixhaven in one document, which threw people off a bit. Thri-Kreen could be for a different product than the Giff.

Bunny girls, slime girls... DnD is becoming monster hearts

Bring on the Spider-Girls!

AFTER Fox Girls though.

This really the first time I have looked at the new lineage format and I must say I really like it. I like that the traits are what are essential to the race, not its ability scores. I will still apply my standard racial limits, but I like that the bonuses are removed.

I already failed because I gave here stats - I know a lot of faithful think that is a big no-no.
