Here's a full breakdown/list of every new and updated playable race coming to one d&d's new players handbook!

I've been told to use keywords in video descriptions, but I don't know what I'm doing. I stole these tags from MonkeyDM who seems on top of this type of thing when we chat.

    Can we just say how ironic it is that Humans got an option to be Small but Dwarves, the iconic short race of every fantasy setting, is still only medium and classified in the same size category as Goliaths and Orcs?
  • @TheArchmike
    I reckon (hope) enough feedback saying "Keep dragnoborn like they are in Fizbans" will sort that silly mess out.
  • Thank you good sir for the one person who helps me stay informed with what is happening in the D&D world 😂
  • I'm in complete agreement. Improving something as time passes, then just falling backwards IS going back, instead of moving on and going forward, especially if players liked the changes that were made and they weren't broken.
  • If this is a "no edition" thing, where they're "not taking anything away" from 5e fans, then this technically means that all the older materials for 5e would still be legal tender. Which makes all of this incredibly confusing, as there's a bazillion things going on at once. Maybe they should've just gone for making it a 5.5e instead.
  • Recently found the book "An elf and an Orc had a baby" so I have to disagree that the racial mixing in One D&D is the best we can do. It's a fantastic 5e supplementary book with rules for creating a balanced mixed-race character.
  • @QuinnTheGM
    My favorite change by FAR is the update to Dwarves' Stonecunning. Being able to get Tremorsense as a bonus action when you're in contact with stone is both incredibly flavorful and really cool mechanically!
  • "Ability score improvements no longer come from races, but instead your background." Thomas had never seen such bullsh%t before I'm probably just gonna stick wiþ 5e and take whatever bits i like from 1d
  • @lastar7824
    8:39 such a cool idea, magic initiate would be a good name for a feat like that
  • @WumboGuy
    So humans can choose medium or small size, But Dwarves are just medium? I feel like if any race is in between enough to choose their size category it should be dwarves.
  • I don’t own Fizban’s, but from what I understand, it gave Dragonborn 1 breath weapon attack per attack action, allowing it to stack with other attacks but not itself. That’s definitely the best version of it.
  • @yinnyari
    Elves have also lost their weapon proficiencies alongside the Dwarves. We must remember that these are playtest rules, and will more than likely change. I did notice that language section was dropped from most races, however, there is a Starting Languages section, where you get three (Common, a background language & a Standard language) which is has the advantage that you could play an orphan race that hasn't had contact with it's own kind.
  • I love all of this, especially if the DM is Sane, and rules that you can still use the older versions of the races if you want to. (Especially the half elf)
  • @m.r.2066
    Luckily, all of this is designed to be “fully compatible “ with 5e, so if you like how the Fizban dragonborn breath weapon works, you can just….use it. Same with Trance, Stout, and weapon proficiency. 🤷‍♂️
  • I'm so sad shifter and aasimar aren't in here because they are my favorite races
  • Man the mixing race feature is gonna lead to so many cat girls.
  • @flandarz1
    Inspiration isn't a reroll anymore. You have to use it before the roll, and it gives you Advantage. They probably did this since Inspiration is so much easier to get.
  • 1DnD seems more like a 5.5E than anything with their reworked rules yet "all previous moduals will work" mentality. I also doubt that this will be "the end of editions" as that is an incredibly restrictive and narrow path to go down.
  • @goger7558
    Heard “races and feats” as “racism feats”, can’t wait to see those in my dnd game. Dwarves ftw 🙌
