10 so far because I've counted: Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling, Gnome, Orc, Tiefling, Dragonborn, Goliath, Aasimar. I would push for Goblin to be the 11th because Goblins have been reprinted 4 times already as a PC option. If they're going for a 12 species and 12 classes parity, then there's room...

I noticed lately in D&D art most Elves who tend to look like Humans of African background are usually Wood Elves, I don't think it's intentional for the artists and maybe there's been an example of a High Elf that looks like one. But mostly they've been Wood Elves over any other type of Elf.

None of the CG celestials in D&D's history has ever been overtly furry in the way Guardinals or certain Archons have been. Eladrin were the main CG celestials and they were almost all Elemental-themed Fey. The bit of furriness for Lillendi (snakes & birds), Asuras (birds) and Valkyries (goats &...

Well there are parts of Spain that often want to be independent of Spain, not only a former colonial power, but also a nation with a Fascist regime that outlasted the one in Germany. I was once able to read and understand something written in Catalonian based on a limited understanding of...

Anyways I feel that some Shifters could be linked to Aasimar if they have Guardinal ancestry, but that might be something better served now in whatever they have more hybrids now (which still might be what was written about the subject in that UA). The Vedalken from Guildmaster's Guide to...

For the Lawful and Chaotic Planetouched they were covered in 3e MM2, MM3 and an issue Dragon back when they were Paizo was publishing the magazines for WotC. I certainly have my own ideas for what they should be like under some unified theory and streamlining of the types. I'd feel that...

2e in Dragon #235 is the first instance I know of where they've suggested Rilmani can be a bloodline of Aasimar. And probably more of a thing now since Rilmani are creature type Celestial. And it makes for easier classification of Planetouched, only 2 additional types of outer planar...

When thinking of alternative Bastion types, I suddenly thought of "Nomad Clan" as being a type. One that can encompass a tribal group, mercenary company, traveller families, a troupe of performers and more. It's a mobile Bastion, but would only work as a Bastion when the clan settles in an area.

Thinking more on what an Endgame Beast might be, looking back at the Epic Level Handbook from 3e, it might be a Legendary Beast, or Devastation Vermin (and don't forget 3e had Colossal-sized Spiders too) or the Ruin Swarm an actual apocalyptic swarm of locusts.

Rilmani are classified as Celestials in 5e, and they're very different from the "sort of like Klingons but metallic" designs they had in 2e in that they are now more like constructs made of living metal (possibly liquid) and energy, with some very geometric shapes in some cases. Rilmani have...

I remember I expressed I didn't like that you rolled something 2d8+2d6+1d4 to get Bastion Points because who weren't going for some optimal facility layout.

Genasi should have been one species (the standard Fire, Earth, Air, Water with room for more obscure ones like Necrotic, Radiant, Lightning, Ooze, Ice and so on) but I don't think Monsters of the Multiverse really had that format down. Yes there could have been an entry for just "Gith" with...

I remember in the survey writing a bunch of long responses about how I thought they should have handled bastions. I did state that I liked that there was a thing like bastions, but it needed things like: Having facilities that level up and improve, instead of replacing old ones with newer...

Census classifications are often outdated or less relevant (such as in the case of the USA) or inconsistent such as my country which doesn't have East Asian on the census, but instead has separate categories for Chinese, Korean and Japanese, happens to have Filipino as a category independent of...

Definitely like the standard cover better.
