This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

No big shockers.  I suppose some people might be turned off by tieflings and dragonborn, but no warforged, so that's good?


the biggest thing for me is that hopefully all those 4e fans that bitched about the price of the PHB will be quiet now, because you needed to buy what?  3 4e PHBs to get the same content?
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

War Forged and Kendar (at least) are in the DMG. While playing monstrous races will be in the MM.

Oh and I believe the Elf entry in the PG will include Drow for all your Drizzt needs.


So all-in-all, nothing likely to upset anyone there.....

Not a fan of Dragon Born but easily remedied.

While it has zero impact on whether I buy it or not, I would have loved to see warforged included.

  2--and you'd get three more races to boot, plus five classes that appear to have been removed from the PH or subsumed into others (Warlord, Avenger, Invoker, Shaman, Warden). But for me, at least--and I'm the one who started the whole kerfuffle on ENWorld and TBP--the price concern has been largely resolved by the release of Basic.

You have to be logged into EnWorld to see it.

OH, I didn't know that.  Well then:

All the basic ones: human, elf, dwarf, halfling, gnome, half elf, half orc

also: dragonborn, tielfling,

I'm curious about the Dragon born. When I was a teenager, I freakin' loved the Draconians (and any other reptilian race). Pretty cool.

Their backstory was one of the few good things in 4e.

The bad thing was when WotC tried to shoehorn the Dragonborn into FR instead of letting them be part of the generic world they created for 4e.
