Critical Role Wildemount has new subraces and reprints a ton of others

[LuisCarlos17f]

Maybe the no-core PC races could be in the Monster Manual.

This reminds me.

Eliminate "half-" races and just call all of them humans.

I've made a habit of calling Half-Elves "Elfkin" and Half-Orcs "Orcs" (from a human POV) or "half-bloods" (from the Orc POV). Can't use "Orckin" because then everyone will ask them to exterminate their termites and such.

What is this?

Critical Role uses a slightly modified version of the Dawn War Pantheon as appearing in the 4e Core Rules for the Points of Light/Nentir Vale/Conquest of Nerath meta-setting.

Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting for 5e (from Green Ronin) didn't give the deities any names, only mythic sounding titles like Eberron uses, in order to avoid copyright infringement. They DID include Sarae/Rae, however, who is unique to the setting's pantheon of major divinities.

Explorer's Guide to Wildemount uses the proper Dawn War Pantheon names as appearing in the Dungeon Master's Guide, but has their own suggested Domains since (a) splat marches on and (b) it's a unique setting and the DW Pantheon was only in there to give ideas on how YOU the DM might homebrew your own Pantheon. The book INCLUDES Rae, and is a slight rejiggering of past understood lore about the Exandria-unique divinity.

EDIT: not unique to Exandria, see Chaosmancer's response below. I humbly appologise for my lack of Pathfinder knowledge.

All in the PHB:
- Split the races in 3 definite sections: prime, monstruous and planetouched, with notes that the non-prime are exotic and rare and require the ok from the dm.

We already know from feats and multiclassing what happens when you put "optional" player options in the PHB. Players assume they're available by default and act as if their human rights are being denied if the DM says otherwise.

4e did that reasonably effectively (if unsupported by splat content), and VGtM and MToF follow that concept (additional monster folios that also include new player race options). I'd be cool with that in 6e, since MM is Core.

Minor clarification. Saranrae is a diety from Pathfinder, and they are keeping most of her major theme from that game, where she was betrayed by Asmodeus during the conflict between the gods.

I've used Fey-Touched for half elves and Orc-Blooded for half orcs before.

Ah, see, I never played Pathfinder, and only know a bit about Critical Role, so sorry for my mistakes!

Do they take out Halflings and Half Orcs when they added Tieflings and Dragonborn? No.

Actually, when they added tieflings in 4E, they took out gnomes.

Next edition will probably be all or mostly online, so DMs just microtransaction the ones they want.

and That would be a disaster. Video games are moving away from those models now. An awful, awful idea that would kill the game inside of two years.
