In the past few years any new race has had its Ability Score modification removed. The Ability Score modification being here is something that I really appreciate. The first Playtest content contains information on the majority of the base races, new information about backgrounds, information on how magic classes are being redefined, and a big overhaul to feats.Īll backgrounds having parity in what they can offer the players definitely makes for a more equal playing field for players to be conflicted over picking one from another. The content from One D&D is a pivot from 5th Edition but the two systems are designed to work together. With our hands on this test material, we wanted to dive in and take a look at what makes One D&D so different from 5th Edition.īefore we dive into the content for One D&D too much it's also important to note that changes to 5th Edition including the rebalancing of player races and monsters in Mordenkainen Present Monsters of the Multiverse were all to set up 5th Edition to be both forward and backward compatible with One D&D.
#Dnd backgrounds series
This playtest material, correctly codenamed One D&D, is the first of what will be a series of playtest material for players to get a chance to toy around with the new mechanics and deliver feedback to Wizards of the Coast so that whatever One D&D becomes will be something fit for the players.


Today at Wizards Presents it was announced that the next version of Dungeons & Dragons not only is coming soon, but that playtest material for the new system is available for players to look at today at DnDBeyond.
