168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dungeons & Dragons is giving us our first taste of its next edition, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:One D&D, in the first of a series of “Playtest Packet” Un𓆉earthed Arcana.

Much like the Unearthed Arcana f🌊or Fifth Edition, these Playtest Packets will introduce aspec⛄ts of One D&D’s rules changes ahead of its full roll-out in 2024. For this first taste of One D&D, we’ll be able to play with the reworked Tiefling and Human player races, as well as the brand-new Ardlings, which opens up all kinds of beast folk options for your character.

Revealed at Wizards Presents by lead ru⭕le꧟s designer Jeremy Crawford, “Character Origins” is freely available through D&D Beyond, and gives us a better look at the changes to player races, and will be further built upon throughout playtesting over the next year.

The first big change in Character Origins is for the Tieflings, who are being massively expanded with three ‘legacies. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Infernal Tieflings are the same Tief🐭lings we’ve been playing in Fifth Edition, wh🍬ile Abyssal and Cthonic Tieflings have ties to different ‘lower planes’ and may appear as anything from more demonic and animalistic to more zombified, depending on their legacy. Each legacy has its own innate damage resistances and magics.

One of the bigger (or smaller) changes is several races from the Player’s Handbook, like Tieflings and Humans, being given similar size options to those introduced in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Monsters of the Multiverse. For instance, Tieflings and Humans can both come in Medium or Small sizes now, rather than the standard M🌞edium they were in older editions.

While Tieflings are humanoids with ties to the lower planes, Character Origins is introducing a new playable race that takes its ancestry from the upper planes and the Aasimar instead, known as Ardlings. Ardlings’ primary function is to use their connection to th✨e Beastlands to enable players to make any kind of beast person they like, instead of relying on the limited selection D&D already has, such as the Hippofolk Giff or the avian Aarakocra.

Of course, being connected to the upper planes, the Aardlings are also more celestial than many other races, allowing you to play them as more angelic or holy characters if anthropomorphic animals aren’t quite your thing. Regardless of what your character looꦺks like, all Aardlings share the Angelic Flight bonus action, which will allow your character to grow wings and fly for a short time.

The Character Origins Unearthed Arcana will also highlight how backgrounds are presented. Backgr🌃ounds have been completely rebuilt for One D&D, and the goal is to encourage players to build their own backgrounds, complete with ability score modifiers, skill proficiencies, and even choose a free feat. While there will still be backgrounds available, such as the Acolyte, which gives +2 Wisdom and +1 Intelligence, these are being treated more as examples of things you can build inste🎀ad of mandatory character options.

Wizards has been eager to remind us that the content we see in the Playtest Packet Unearthed Arcana is not exactly how it will be when One D&D arrives in 2024. They a💎re explicitly considered as “for your consideration”, with player feedback guiding which features are expanded upon and which ones are scrapped.
