To think that someone else than me had thought about dDeluminator (Dumbledore confirmed rock gnome)

I don't like this, I like the whole subraces and proficiencies and such, I don't think I'll be using the new book

Just remember that this is still only playtest material, nothing is set in stone just yet.

You forgot that dragonborn now have dark vision

I would like to see a 4th spell list/magic type category for PSIONICS.

I think it's because if Dwarfs were small they wouldn't have access to Mauls or Great axes or other Iconic Dwarf Weapons with the heavy property.

But that's fine, they still get access to Squat Nimbleness despite being Medium, and that's all that really matters.

I think it's just because dwarves are stocky, so they take up as much space as most medium creatures. Goliaths and orc are probably just under the cusp of being classes as large creatures, they are pretty tall and bulky races

I think Humans getting Small is largely in order to include dwarfism as an option for humans, for greater representation in the system proper, whereas before it had to be homebrewed. Theoretically, a human with dwarfism would be shorter than a Dwarf, who, despite being the iconic short race, are not, in fact, that short compared to other short species like Hobbits/Halflings and Gnomes.

@@gabrielbastos18 Despite the fact that, mechanically, being small has been completely washed away of everything but RP value. You're just at a disadvantage for only a benefit of moving through Large creatures really.

Also if they don't the versions in Fizbans will still be an option with the backwards compatibility. I also think this is at least partially intentional as you see that Gem Dragonborn are not covered by the new PHB Dragonborn version. I figure they want people to buy Fizbans still to get all that great Dragon DLC.

There's no reason, mechanically and from minmax povs, to play nonFizban's dragonborn.

Yeah it feels really weird that they just reworked dragonborn to be better and then backpedaled. And even improved dragonborn weren't overpowered or even top tier.

@@hoid9407 yep. Fizban's have cool abilities you can use and access to some cool stuff you might want for a few character ideas, while the original book PHB dragonborn was stuck into being a Paladin to be playable.

Well tbf, this dragonborn would he more beneficial to spellcasters than the Fizban's one. I still prefer Fizban's personally for the extra little additions they made to each race, but it does make sense that they may be trying to make it so the breath weapon is viable for all classes, rather than just martials.

People are going to call it a new edition regardless of what the marketing people want, same thing happened with "D&D Next" which they tried to hang on to for a while until they realized everybody in the playtest was just calling it 5th edition.

1e DMG. Gary Gygax - "You are the final arbiter of the rules" ('You' referring to the DM)

Based on the UA, its 6th edition. Doesn't matter what they call it. They called 5th "DND next" before they called it 5th

@@cooperton4949 based on the UA its 5.5 not 6 but again I am fine just calling it DnD

5.5 since they are building off what they already have for right now. Play test material too and "D&D One" is the codename for this anyway.

I'd say the race mixing presented in the PHB UA is great for simplicity. Slapping the whole system similiar to the one from An Elf And An Orc Had A Baby would be an overkill for the basic book

Look like the ancestry system from Pathfinder second edition

@@LivenPL for sure, but they should make that book an official one, too.

Or Pathfinder 2e's Half-X ancestries, where you can pick up pieces of both ancesteries via the Ancestry Feat system. Or even PF2e's Adopted by X feat, which let's you grab ancestry feats from another group so long as they are cultural, not biological

the playtest gives options for using races form the existing books and supplements you just have to pic where the ability score increase forms form either the race or background. so this 5e supplement is still valid to be used in the play test

I see feats like fey touched and shadow touched using them as well!

You realize it's a playtest beta right? Instead of crying like a baby, give constructive feedback or leave others alone

@@thestylemage2092 because i feel that the d&d races would have different averages. The average orc is stronger than the average human thats just how orcs bodies develop, it's like saying an average chimpanzee and an average human would have the same strengþ, when a chimpanzee is genetically prone to be stronger. And to use lizard-folk as an example like you do, in the lore, lizard folk deliberately choose to not breed wiþ smarter members because they see being smart as bad (it's only shamans that are allowed to be smart) so the average lizard folk wouldn't be as smart as others just because those genes would've been bread out. I don't mean to say that this is what i believe in real life, it's not, but in the world of d&d it makes sence a goliaþ is going to be stronger than a kobold because a goliath's biceps is as big as the kobold's whole body.

You could always do that. That is like, the simplest homebrew ever.

Just as well it's backwards compatible. So just take 5e elf

I mean, that makes sense. Not every single elf is going to know how to use a bow, and not every dwarf is going to know how to use an axe. I always thought this was an odd feature, because it’s not like most classes that don’t have weapon proficiency are going to use weapons anyway because they really aren’t good

Also more varieties of Dragonborn, with Breath weapons that get confusing depending on the type (Mostly gem/crystal dragons)

But there are people with dwarfism and they are small, so it can't be an option to avoid "stereotyping".

@@killcat1971 im pretty sure it's a feature meant to add to the notion that humans are versatile and customizable, not an attempt to avoid ableist themes.

I imagine Dwarfs are Medium only because if they made them small or gave them the option to be small they wouldn't be able to wield battle axes, mauls, and other iconic dwarf heavy weapons.

@@WumboGuy You mean like how they didn't change Orc's to avoid racism, or Drow to avoid the messy fact that they were a slave taking matriarchy, like they didn't have a specifically woke take to the release video?

@@killcat1971 well they did change the orcs for racism, because their classical presentation is super racist. And the woke shit is great, more woke shit makes sure the whiny racist neckbeards know they aren't welcome. But in this case It doesn't really make sense as an ableism thing. Apparently ever race in the book is genetically similar enough to mate with little to no issues. Which means that a Dwarf would be equally as capable of being born with dwarfism as a Human. So by that logic every race should have an extremely wide size range, but that isn't the case. It's just Humans and Ardlings, the two races that are clearly designed to be highly customizable. So your weird anti-woke whining doesn't even follow from a logical perspective. You just seized this as an opportunity to complain as I'm sure you often do.

Let’s just hope they don’t lock it behind the “Legacy” tag like they did with some of the stuff we liked from Volo’s.

i for one welcome our new catgirl overlords

People were already using Tabaxi for that purpose, so nothing new

@@ShugoAWay I think if its someone you already know and trust not to just be cringe with it, it's fine for that sort of character to be easier to make within the base rules. But if it's just some rando you've never played with before then yeah, best to be cautious or just put your foot down and say "sorry, but catgirls do not fit in this setting" and encourage them to make a different character. I've never actually played dnd before since I don't know anyone who plays and don't want to join randoms (I have a hard time interacting with people I barely know), but I would personally never make those sorts of characters without getting a feel for the group first so as to avoid unintentionally becoming a problem player. Some aspects of such a character might be played up for laughs, but that wouldn't be an excuse to make that the entire character. They've gotta be interesting beyond the race/class combo and associated stereotypes. I would think the best way to go about it is make a generally likable character for your first time with any group, and then from there once you've got a good idea of the group's dynamic you could start playing more characters that could potentially be considered problematic for a newcomer since at that point they should be able to trust you to play that character without actually being problematic.

@@frking100 Myself included, though I usually went for Heavy Armor Master. My position, simply put, is that NO character should be an Expert or Master of anything at Lv 1. And I think that's where they were going with the level 1 feats as well.

Thought it was super weird to include Dragonborn at all since Fizban's wasn't that long ago & they definitely improved on them in that book. The Dragonborn are less unique in the UA...

Since all the content is backwards compatible with 5e, I think they just want people to still have a reason to buy Fizban and all the other books

Well there's also the fact that this dragonborn is actually an improvement for spellcasters. It's dealing slightly more damage on average & since the casters didn't have EA they didn't really benefit from that change in Fizabn's anyways. If they gave us the other additional features from Fizban's, and obviously gem dragonborn ancestry, I think it'd work just fine.

@@5-Volt They probably didn't want to throw options from a book less than a year old into a free document, the same with the updated trace, also keep in mind that this is a playtest so you can always use the coming survey to give WotC your input.

@@malmasterson3890 how is this an improvement for casters? The 15 ft range is dangerous for low level casters, and by the time they doing dips for armor proficiency, they have better things to do with their actions.

I feel like the free feat that humans get, is balanced against all the spells and abilities the other races are getting

At this point darkness is just irrelevant in dnd. It seems almost pointless to even bother with day night cycles unless there’s a shadow monk in your party or something like that

But that is why you make color coded puzzles and things that you can't see with Darkvision. Our DM tried to pull that with us once. He asked a question about who had darkvision as the night was starting out, a little accidental foreshowing for those paying attention. We ended up in this dark room that was completely black, and our exit closed behind us. We had to look for a switch and a code. Nobody could see anything but the stone. But I pulled out my flame tongue and was able to create some normal light and saw the switch and instructions. DM thought he had us trapped for a while. I think more stuff like this will be a great tool in the DM tool box.

The improvement here is that humans can't just grab high value feats right at level 1. I feel feats having level requirements is a solid fix to why many tables didn't allow variant human (or custom lineage).

@@mkhanson1440 Except why would this puzzle in an ancient underground ruin be color coded? Or even still HAVE any colors that aren't just crystals or precious gems? Besides all of that, unless the whole party has darkvision then someone's going to be holding a torch and thus make that whole idea pointless. Then there's the fact there's other ways to get around that like using stone mason tools to give your character a reason to be able to tell if there's wear on the puzzle's pieces from when it's moved or using like prestidigitation to see hand prints on the pieces to learn how to solve it. That DM is one of the VERY few that even bother trying to make darkvision a detriment, and it's honestly just a dick move to basically targeting players who pick one of the MANY races that just happen to have darkvision. You even said the DM thought he had you guys trapped for a while. But the thing is for the code and switch to be invisible the color of both has to be of a nearly identical shade of grey as the wall they're on, meaning even in the light it would be hard to spot them anyways. Anyone who thought for half a second would be able to call him out on that, and it would just look bad for him. All the ways I pointed out, the first being basically the exact thing you did, are probably also reasons why he didn't try that again. It's a little too easy getting around the whole 'only see colors in shades of grey' downside of darkvision that most DMs just don't bother trying to make it a hindrance.

Half Elfs are a big cut of my characters so I was really dissapointed

Half-Elves still exist. There are rules for half races.

@@AZDfox Yeah, but now they are just Elves with beards, or Humans with pointy ears.

@@thestylemage2092 massive problems, like literally decades of lore destroyed , not joking, entire settings are based on this idea

@@jtowensbyiii6018 Can you be more specific? What is it about the fact that half-breed races still exist, but don't have distinct mechanical effects for the game of Dungeons and Dragons attached to them, that is destroying decades of lore and settings?

From Basic through 3.5e races always had minuses. Then the kid gloves came on and you can't have negatives on anyone, or even make some race/class combos suboptimal. So, it's getting even more generic.

Let's be real, having a +1 bonus on some dice rolls doesn't make for a good flavor nor provides a sense of mechanical variety anyway. Features are a much better tool for that.

@@bouboulroz No. However, certain rules and bonuses favor certain builds. Multiclassing, class levels, ability scores, etc. were highly limited by your race. You didn't find halfling wizards or and half-orc clerics were limited to 4th-level. 3e lifted most of those, but you still have favored class which limited multiclassing and ability scores which favored certain classes. A half-orc paladin really paid a penalty, making it rare. 5e, only has remnants of this in a half-orc paladin isn't optimal, but otherwise fine. Variant rules basically remove even this minor limitation. This does mean things are more generic. Races no longer have any preference on classes, all builds are equally valid, etc. This is a big departure from 1e dwarves which literally couldn't be magic users. Sandwich is correct, this makes everything generic. It isn't like 1e or even 3.5e games where certain things were unusual, races has preferences, etc.

@@BW022 the argument of build rarity was always an odd one to me in the first place. PCs are meant to have a greater destiny than NPCs by nature. We are already playing individuals that are either above or beside the norm of other people of the same race. They is no point flavorwise to limit a PC build with the mechanical rules that expressed the stereotypes of a race in the first place. And even if you wanted some race/class combinations that are more common, some synergies between features will obviously make some combinations considered to be better optimization, and therefore more common. You will still have some combinations that are rarer, they will just not be the same as before. There is always a meta in the end.

It's all woke bullshit. Can't have evil Yuan-Ti anymore or suggest that a seven feet tall goliath is maybe on average stronger than a 3-foot gnome without someone calling you out for 'bioessentialism'.

Yeah, a new video game console can be backwards compatible and still be a new generation. Same thing can apply to DnD

I don't see that name holding for long. 5e was supposed to be called D&D Next, but never got past playtest because people constantly called it 5th edition. Marketing needs to acknowledge that whatever they want their product to be called won't change how players perceive it.

its jsut a codename. 5e was called D&D Next during the playtest

There will be name frustration and the next Ed will be called Series D&D.

@@soaringraven0 That would be blindsight.

was looking for someone who noticed this, especially since immediately afterwards he included Darkvision in the ability list of Dwarfs. it took a literal homebrew injection via Matt Mercer's approved books to give Dragonborn their much deserved Darkvision in 5e in any capacity, and yet people keep skipping over that one new word...

That was the first thing I thought of. If my patron is an archfey, do I get primordial spells?

I'm speculating that there may be other secondary lists, like an Eldritch list for the Warlock and a Martial list that’s shared by paladins, rangers, Eldritch Knights (who should probably be renamed Arcane Knights), Bladesingers, War Clerics, Hexblades etc., with spells like the smites or Hunter’s Mark. Each would still have a distinct flavour: paladin is Martial + Divine, while ranger is Martial + Primal, and Bladesinger (say) is Martial + Arcane. Different subclasses of warlock could be flavoured differently by combining different spell lists: Hexblade = Arcane + Eldritch + Martial, Celestial = Arcane + Eldritch + Divine, Archfey = Arcane + Eldritch + Primal. Classes and subclasses become Venn diagrams of spell access. Some of the current subclasses more than hint at this already, like the Divine Soul Sorcerer (Arcane + Divine). I like the fact that when you take Magic Initiate, your casting ability is not tied to the spell list you choose. However, tying Magic Initiate to the three basic lists instead of to a class does mean that you can’t use it to get Eldritch Blast without a dip into Warlock.

@@MikeReevesMcMillan They might make eldritch blast a feature of the warlock class like Previous editions and not a spell so that no one could get it unless they take a dip into warlock

@@MikeReevesMcMillan Also does that mean that counterspell is going to stop working on divine casters and primordial casters because it’s not an arcane spell?

I mean, currently, all warlocks pull from the same warlock spell list and get a few bonus spells depending on their patron. I suspect that if classes don't get unique spell lists, this is likely what they'll do with warlocks; they all pull from the arcane spell list (Their patron is whispering *arcane* secrets to them), but different patrons also grant different spells that count as arcane spells for you.

@@gregorynelson5397 Agreed that it's certainly much clearer than the old wording. I just doubt they'll get to keep having advantage on all three of the save types.

In terms of averages it's about the same for the breath weapon, just slightly more consistent. I personally think it's good for the casters, since Fizban's Dragonborn really only catered to martials, but they definitely should increase the damage more to make it worth for everyone. Also bring back their individual features for each family & the Gem dragonborn.

Mathematically the average damage of 2d10 is 11, and 1d10+5 is 10.5. The damage ranges are far more important than the max damage though, going strictly by the math... doing 6-15 damage with all outcomes being equally likely will be more reliable than doing 2-20 damage with the average being significantly more common than the extremes. There's a 15% chance that 2d10 is higher than 15, and a 10% chance to be lower than 6. However, with 2d10 there's a 55% chance to be 11 or higher, while 1d10+5 has a 60% chance to be 11 or higher. Actually... the odds of doing x damage or higher are in 1d10+5's favor all the way up to right before max damage.

@@567secret Ardling is meant to encompass all the animal races, like Tabaxi, Harengon, Kenku, etc. By doing this, it removes the uniqueness and cool abilities of those races.

The movie is based off of 3.5, not 5e.

Personally, I would definitely allow a moon druid to do it instead of an elemental for their lvl 10 ability

The main reason a druid can't wild shape into an owlbear is that owlbears are classified as monstrosities in 5e and not beasts. _"Scholars have long debated the origins of the owlbear. The most common theory is that a demented wizard created the first specimen by crossing a giant owl with a bear. However, venerable elves claim to have known these creatures for thousands of years, and some fey insist that owlbears have always existed in the Feywild."_ So, conflicting accounts, but the RAW would seem to heavily imply that owlbears are not naturally occurring, which would explain why druids can't take that form. That said, Owlbears don't seem particularly special for a CR 3 creature, so it wouldn't be a game balance problem. And they can rewrite the lore for the new rules if they wish. I don't think anyone would have a problem with it. And they were beasts in 3rd edition anyway, so who cares. When I look at an owlbear, I just think "Yep, that certainly looks like a fantastical D&D animal." It's, like, one of the LEAST weird things in the game, to be honest.

it doesn't remove lighting wholly as a feature, it only makes dark light dim and dim light bright, so unless players want disadvantage on seeing things, they'd have to carry light with them

Also, many DM will not bother with the 60 ft dark vision range. After than, they are blind

@@bleddynwolf8463 What truly matters is advantage/disadvantage on attacks in combat. You can't hide while lightly obscured by dim light, so that removes the danger of ambushes and fear of the dark. Best thing dim light can do is make a trap harder to detect.

If you don't want your players to trivialize light make them fight gloomstalker enemies. The gloomstalker perk makes them invisible to creatures relying on dark vision to see

@@tylerdavis4584 How many of those are there, though? Gloomstalker mechanic in itself is a crutch that appeared exactly because of this problem - almost everyone having darkvision.
