D&D 5E Wild Beyond the Witchlight Previews

Various websites have small previews for the upcoming Wild Beyond the Witchlight D&D adventure.

• D&D Beyond has the jabberwock.
• SYFY has a look at Hither, a fairy-tale swamp.
• Polygon reveals the fairies and rabbitfolk.

I'll update this list if more emerge! The book comes out September 21st.

Hither by Olly Lawson​

 

[Charlaquin]

If there's a Hither, will there also be a Thither? Or a Yon?

Yes. From the map that’s been shown, those appear to be the three counties of Prismeer.

A 5E faerie is 2 1/2 feet to 3 feet tall. Sure it is not Tinkerbell pixie small but it is not 1e elf size. Gnomes, goblins, and halflings should be more fey-like in my opinion, so having expressly small size faeries is a win for me. Plus, once you hit 5th level you can cast Reduce 1/long rest and live out your Pixie dreams.

Yeah I agree about gnomes and gobs being more Fey and can accept 2ft tall sprites, and reduce does help

the domains divided due to the three villains and their timely-whimsy machinations, looks like a fun set up

Can someone explain the Harengon hop ability? 1d12 feet seems… complicated if used in battle.

I think they changed it. It's now using a bonus action to jump 5 times your proficiency bonus.

I like that it can also enlarge which reminds me of Tinker Bell using her magic to back herself human size for a short time in Hook (best Pan movie ever, Robin Williams loss is still keenly felt).

I think I like that change. Could I have a source, though?

Watch the Harengon video linked to in this thread, it previews stuff from Witchlight.

That’s a much less granular approach. Thank you.

There are a TON of new sneak peeks in this thread and also spoilers! You’ve been warned.

One interesting thing is a QR code for a survey about the book.
