D&D (2024) Thoughts on the revised Ardling?

[Incenjucar]

Why? Both are equally magic.

There's a bit of difference in scale.

Is there? Where is that written?

What level is the "create magical species" wizard spell?

What level is the "create magical species" wizard spell?

Wish? It’s 9th level. What about the Cleric equivalent?

A straight up natural multi-species furry species would need a lot more new lore to explain how two duck people can make a cat baby.

Yeah this is just not going to happen in my worlds.

What level is the "create magical species" wizard spell?

Origin of Species: Achaierai (Ritual). 100 day 11 minute cast time, dc27 & 35-36k platinum but those could be reduced by extending the time adding casters engaging in sacrifice & so on. It's been a few years but I believe that is not specifically a divine or arcane spell & could be either.

Same with centaur-thri kreen hybrids in my settings.

Unless the player comes up with a suitable 'a wizard did it' explanation.

Gods getting bored.

I suspect they want to avoid putting true flight at 1st level in the PHB.

So let it grow in power over levels, but that power should not be associated with "flying".

I don't know if I would need such lore, but I would definitely want it. Maybe with illustrations.
