![What are 'Group Backgrounds' in D&D? [Eberron: Rising from the Last War]](/img/1.gif)
( plays as a cat shifter who knocks everything off of tables)
That’s awesome! Great idea
Or just play a Tabaxi
@@lockskelington314 Or if you're willing to use 'unofficial' material you can play as an awakened Cat using Dogs and Dungeons supplement Cats and Catacombs. Though word is that it's soon to be an official supplement with their new world book ala the Critical Role settings as it's going to be available for D&D Beyond.
My DM okayed a Werebear Bear Shifter Bear Totem Bearbearian and I can't wait to spend half a combat encounter powering up like some kind of Dragonball Z character. XD
Action: Shapechange
Bonus Action: Shift
Bonus Action: Rage!
Hoping to play something similar in an upcoming campaign myself, Would love to hear how your's goes!
Druid 2 Circle of the Moon
Shifter Bloodhunter would be interesting
David Sastre i have one in the game I run, its awesome
As does a Moon Druid shifter.
I also just made one , who's story was he goes to join the blood Hunter in order to learn to control and gain access to his full werewolf powers
Just made one recently, realized after my first game with the group that were closer to Murderhobos than heroes sonic had to switch from a paladin.
I went Shifter, Blood-Hunter in the Order of the Mutant.
The one with the sharpest fangs wins, thus killing bites
Thank you for all the amazing Eberron content. Best setting ever!
I am surprised that they left out the Razorclaw Shifter, which is usually a popular choice. In 3.5 it was a Claw unarmed attack that uses Dex instead of Str. Cliffwalk was also a trait also but it was one of the weakest. It only provided full speed Climb. They should have combined Razorclaw and Cliffwalk into one single trait allowing a razorclaw to use those claws to climb at full speed. Give them Athletics as a skill and unarmed Dex claw attack like the tabaxi. In fact, I'm going to add this to as a subclass to D&D Beyond for Shifters.
Brian F. They're including that in longtooth now.
In so many campaigns I’m in we’ve had shifters in other lands be essentially subjugated and domesticated and treated like pets and stuff. It makes for a really interesting dynamic, especially if they go to Ebberon and other stuff and see their people free
I play a wildhunt fox shifter...inquisitive rogue. She is my little ball of chaos.
I'm about to play a snow fox wildhunt genie warlock. Any tips?
And my dream of playing Primal Rage as a tabletop is finally here!
My cousin said he wanted to be a shifter with the traits of an otter one time, but we were having a hard time figuring out what kind of subrace would accept something like an otter, 'cause there isn't any aquatic subraces by the look of it, so he's just putting that idea on the side with his other maybe characters (this guy has A LOT of character ideas) that he can use if his current character dies.
Want to play a Longtooth Barbarian so bad.
We have one in our party. At second level, while raging and shifted he is attacking at +9 during a charge. With a greatsword, he is dealing 2d6+7 (9-19 damage) at 2nd level on a charge. He's a beast. (3.5 version).
I am one 🐺
Beasthide bear totem barbarian. Roughest and toughest character I’ve ever played. Fun race class combo.
Any tips? I'm playing a wildhunt...
My favorite!! Been playing one in 4e Eberron
Gotta say if you take swiftstride, definitely consider being a rogue, think ahead and assassinate one target, which will draw the aggro to you, bonus action shift then when they end their turn boom you’ve got 10 feet of non opp movement
I kind of want a trash panda shifter something about being sneaky and eating out of the trash
Sounds like me in real life ;)
Beasthide lobster. Lol.
imagine a longtooth shifter with a barbarian's rage!
Keith would look good with a beard
Shifter is a fun race to play.
Shifter barbarian sounds cool
Reminds me of the Beastmen in Seiken Densetsu 3.
So I would like to preface this with the fact that dndbeyond is literally one of my favorite websites and I really enjoy these videos. However I believe they can be improved. The cameras are nice enough however you have the fstop too low so he is moving in and out of focus, plus you have a generic background behind him you could have just used a Gaussian blur behind him. His head is too close to the top of the frame, not leaving any headroom. Last thing is you need a lot more b roll than one graphic art. For example when he lists his novella you could show it. These are just a few things that can drastically improve these videos.
Ebberon party:
Kalashtar ranger
Wild hunt nature domain
Gearforged juggernaut fighter
Changeling sorcerer
my new favorite race
Beasthide Samurai = HP for days
William Simpson Well temp hp don't stack sadly :/
Do you think you could have some sort of aquatic shifter for a sea campaign ??
Keep at the top please.
You could create an aquatic shifter if you are able to choose an animal that has traits associated with one of the shifter subraces
An otter shifter.
shifter with claws...wolverine incoming
Adam more Sabertooth
So, do Shifters look human but gain some characteristics of their beast-like bloodline when they shift? Besides that, I would love to play one. Shifter Ranger or Rogue Scout based on tracking and hunting sounds fun. Or a Shifter Wizard who wants to uncover the origins of his kind.
Ah okay, I thought those fur, fangs, and claws where from Shifters who shifted. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
It sounds like they look more "Island of Doctor Moreau" than fully human, but can become MORE beastlike when they transform.
I've understood it as those secondary characteristics in both their psyche and physical appearance. From sharper teeth and fangs, extended/harder nails that are claw like on a humanoid form. As they are supposedly a race that nearly mimics mortal lifestyles especially humans when not in their homeland. While they may have longer (and wilder) hair, as well as their facial features being shaped to match the animal they aligned with such as my own bloodhunter shifter who took wildhunt to skillfully track monsters and vile creatures. The thing is nothing besides growing a snout with teeth to match really changes besides the transformation being hairier, beefier. So I've been described as some sort of more human than werewolf in game (out of game, the party laughs as I'm some sorta Skin Walker to them.) I've seen that if your avaine you get more angler features too. Kinda wanted to be a birdman but DM didnt think I'd work with our Yuanti. Lol Snake man vs. Bird man
Do they retain their ability to speak after they tranform?
Why was Kenreck so small near the end xp
Is Eberon a plane in MTG or D&D? I know they have been doing a lot of crossover and my plane lore is weak.
Eberron is a D&D world form a couple of editions ago. I for one, would like to see them work out a 5E MTG-RPG guide.
I'm wondering which kind would be fitting for an otter
longtooth could work for otters, they are predators and have fangs after all.
Also the wild hunt one. Otters are pretty cunning.
When is the physical release coming?
Josh Korte it’s not announced. Wayfinder’s Guide is in this weird grey area between an official setting book and the Unearthed Arcana playtest material. The origins release actually had the word “playtest” in it, but people lost their minds about having payed for something and it only being playtest. Since then it’s been removed. But hopefully if there’s enough interest and people are able to kinda try out some of the new mechanics and give feedback they might do a book down the road... who knows...
So my character is a werewolf and a shifter how would that work if anyone can understand what I mean and can explain.
I still don't get what era eberron is set in. Is it like medieval age just with more magic, or victorian era, or renaissance? Like there are trains and airships, but there are people with swords and plate armor too. I'm confused.
The trains and air ships run off magic. Think steam punk but replace the steam with magic lol thats the best way to describe it but there are a lot of clock work machines in dnd in a whole. Remember its fantasy world.
Its a very steampunk world. So elements of it are victorian and older. And others are very advanced. Its basically the result of if magic became stable and commonplace enough in dnd to be industrialized on a massive scale and had a few centuries to do so.

I'm making a beast hide gish bladelock with a glaive. Archfey patron and hermit background for druid like background.
Did you like it?
@@seanheath711 Well I did make it but didnt get a chance to use it, yet.
hey videographers ... bump up that depth of field
Wolf totem barbarian that had forgotten to respect nature and started hunting for trophy and sport. An Elandrin king cursed me to become a shifter wildhunt. The more i give into the blood lust of the hunt the more animalistic i become. I am Michel Wolvesbrood
Didn´t they get a second shifter trait on higher levels or that was back in 3.5?
kinda, its a shifter feat that requires already having a few other shifter feats...
Shifter monkey swift stride monk way of the drunken master
Shifters are like lycans, werewolves are more primal and primitive.
Wouldn't shifters be fey-like? Any union between a lycanthrope and a regular human results in lycanthrope offspring. Yet shifters sort of sound like they would be fey.
Druid shifter O.P.?
Druid changeling
Noice
Skinwalkers
Long tooth shifter wolf girl artificer anyone?
the way i took my shifter longtooth .. wolf? tiger? bear? no those are lame i said so i went with freaking T-rex ... she is a badass lizard looking ish barbarian that can get extra savage and bight things head off ... once bit the head off a Griffen and she is a pirate so extra cool points
shifting on a long rest. that's dumb
Yehaw
shifter the lame werewolfs
I feel Shifters should have been more of an attribute than a true race, much like lycanthropes in previous books. Mainly because humans aren't the only ones who would be able to live in harmony with their inner beast. Cursed Dwarves, Elves and even Kobolds should be able to procreate and allow their offspring to learn to control their beast within, right?
They sound more like fey to me. Wouldn't be surprised if further research indicates that they have fey ancestry.
Finally we're getting away from the diarrhea that is the Forgotten Realms.
I think I'm the only one that doesn't really care about this setting. Don't hate it, I just don't see what the big deal is I guess
Ian Trout people like steampunk, warforged, changelings, and CRAVE something that's not forgotten realms
Zevran08 I totally understand that. I guess I'm just not as thrilled as the community as a whole is.
But it really isn't steampunk, though. I guess it's okay that people think it's a magical steampunk, but it really isn't. they go into in detail in the Manifest Zone podcast. (Keith Baker's podcast about Eberron.) It definitely is worth a listen, it might grab your interest for this setting too.
You are free to dislike it if you chose.
Ian Trout It's fine to not love a setting, that's why they have a couple of them.
No offense but your breathing made this impossible to listen to.
