Any time WotC posts a new version of a specific instance, like a race or spell, the legacy version is no longer legal. So the utterly broken VGM Yuan-Ti Pureblood is out, the unreasonably powerful MPMM Yuan-Ti is unfortunately legal. Is poison damage common? I've been playing for about a decade now and I can't think of poison damage being dealt to the party outside of fighting Yuan-Ti, a Lich, or a Green Dragon. Your Circle of the Land comment is also outdated, the feature reads; "You are immune to the Poisoned condition, and you have Resistance to a damage type associated with your current land choice..." there is nothing protecting you from disease. Forget the Multiclass, just take Fighting Initiate: Blind Fighting.
Great points overall. I am discussing the VGM Yuan-ti Pureblood which, to me, is the prime example of why the unbalanced races are out. I do believe the MPMM version is at least an improvement, but compared with their peers it’s still a massively frontloaded race. As it stands, my table are still playing the legacy races, so I believe they are worth discussing for those who wish to try them out. Poison damage is common in the sense that it appears a lot not just from bosses, but also from traps and vials, so having immunity is definitely a huge deal. Land Druid’s feature in 5e states that “you are immune to poison and disease”, so for those who are still playing 5e, this is still definitely the case. Not sure how the feature changes in the newest edition, will have to check it out as you suggested. Blind fighting feat is a great idea! I think this comes down to your level and play style. For instance, your spell slots stagnant at certain levels, so in a oneshor getting a fighter dip gives you a lot with basically no downsides (armor, fighting style, con save). On the other hand, a long campaign penalizes multiclassing in level progression, so you may want to take a feat. Overall, great insight, and thanks for the comment!
