Wesley Schneider, Ben Petrisor, and Jeremy Crawford, with input from the rest of the D&D design team  \nThis Is Playtest Material  \nThe material in this article is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination. These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not refined by full game design and editing. They aren’t officially part of the game and aren’t permitted in D&D Adventurers League events.  \nThe best way for you to give us feedback is in the survey we’ll release on the D&D website soon. If we decide to make this material official, it will be refined based on your feedback, and then it will appear in a D&D book.  \nThe character options you read here might be more or less powerful than options in the Player’s Handbook. If a design survives playtesting, we adjust its power to the desirable level before official publication. This means an option could be more or less powerful in its final form.  \nThis document features three new race options to playtest for player characters in D&D:  \n• Dhampir  \n• Hexblood  \n• Reborn  \nThese options are special; you can choose one at character creation or at an appropriate time later in a campaign, transforming your character.  \nCreating Your Character   \nAt 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of one of the game’s fantastical races. Alternatively, you can choose one of the following lineages. If you choose a lineage, you might have once been a member of another race, but you aren’t any longer. You now possess only your lineage’s racial traits.  \nWhen you create a character using a lineage option here, follow these additional rules during character creation.  \nAbility Score Increases  \nWhen you determine your ability scores, increase one of those scores by 2, and increase a different one by 1. These increases can’t raise ascore above 20. You follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. If you are replacing your race with a lineage, replace any Ability Score Increases you previously had with these.  \nLanguages  \nYour character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of widespread languages to choose from. The DM is free to add or remove languages from that list for a particular campaign. If you are replacing your race with a lineage, you retain any languages you had and gain no new languages.  \nCreature Type  \nEvery creature in D&D, including every player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race option presented here tells you what your character’s creature type is.  \nList of Types. Here’s a list of the game’s creature types in alphabetical order: Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, Undead. These types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the text of the cure wounds spell specifies that the spell doesn’t work on a creature that has the Construct or Undead type.  \nHaving More Than One Type. Some creatures are of more than one creature type. If an effect works on at least one of a creature’s types, that effect can work on that creature. For example, if you are both a Humanoid and an Undead, cure wounds works on you, since the spell works on a Humanoid.  \nDesign Note: Changes to Racial Traits In 2020, the book Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything introduced the option to customize several of your character’s racial traits, specifically the Ability Score Increase trait, the Language trait, and traits that giveskill, armor, weapon, or tool proficiencies.  \nFollowing in that book’s footsteps, the race options in this article and in future D&D books lack ","cbCaihkAgwCvHuAh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihkAgwCvHuAh","pdf",310440,"English","# Playtest Overview\n## Feedback and Publication Status\n## Relationship to Player’s Handbook Power Levels\n# New Lineage Race Options\n## Dhampir\n## Hexblood\n## Reborn\n# Character Creation Rules\n## Ability Score Increases\n## Languages\n## Creature Type Tags\n## Multiple Creature Types\n## Design Note on Racial Traits","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this Unearthed Arcana document?\",\"answer\":\"It provides draft playtest material to be used in campaigns while collecting feedback.
