The following are quotes from the Witchlight adventure.Īll the characters races presented in the Players Handbook are well suited for this adventure, as are fairies and harengons (both presented below). Instead, these other traits appear to be cultural or unique. In sum, the Custom Lineage appears to be the new format for all races, except now the format allows more variety of possibilities.Ī race is now: type, size, speed, feat, and a trait (worth about half a feat).Ībility score improvements, alignment, languages, and notably physical appearance, are no longer aspects of race. Judging by the stats for the fairy race, where Flight by itself is a powerful feat, the equivalent to the darkvision trait appears to be more mechanically satisfying, worth about half of a feat: here equivalent to a cantrip at level 1, a slot 1 spell at level 3 and slot 2 spell at level 5. Thus inferably a Small size is assumed to be like a small human child? If a race has innate magic as a race trait, it will allow the player to choose any mental ability for its spellcasting, whether Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma. The "typical" size of any race is human-like. Players will choose whatever height and weight they want for their character concept "regardless of race", and enjoy broad control over their physical appearance. Inferably as well, there could be old school settings like Dragonlance that wont have some of the more recent race traditions like Drow or Tiefling in the 5e Players Handbook. Inferably, some settings wont include certain Players Handbook races − such as Dark Sun not including gnome, but this setting-dependence or campaign-dependence now seems the general principle rather than Dark Sun being an exception to the rule. Each setting and even each campaign will determine independently which races are present − and which planes. But the Players Handbook races as-is will still remain backwards-compatible. Every race will come enjoy a choice of ability scores improvements: either +2 and +1, or three +1s instead. The format mostly adheres to the Custom Lineage format in Tashas, except: A race no longer needs to be the "humanoid" creature type, where the fairy race is "fey" instead, and any other creature type is possible. But Witchlight confirms some things that raise eyebrows. Most of the format is what we expect from the earlier WotC announcements. While presenting two new races, the fairy and the harengon, the format frames them within descriptions that appear to now be true for all races.
Witchlight uses the new official format for player character races.
