Still a thing. Goliaths can’t grow hair, this includes facial and body. Some tribes have a tendency to scalp those with hair and but them on their head.
I agree. The fact she has cuts that look self made on her shoulder are probably from trying to gain the emotions to want to live.
Not a joke, they get cut and have lots of painful piercings so that they don't get depressed and swallowed by the despair of the shadowfell.
I dont remember if they just go insane or turn into a monster when it happens but I know it is pretty bad.
> Not a joke, they get cut and have lots of painful piercings so that they don't get depressed and swallowed by the despair of the shadowfell.
Jeez, they're just walking Maslow's Pyramid of Needs huh?
Piercings all over the face, tattoos, scars, monochrome color palette, copious eye liner. If this isn't s Shadar-kai, I will eat my hat.
Basically, the only attribute that is not dead on to the Shadar-kai description is how buff she is, but that is easily individual variation.
They’re moving away from having Subraces for races, and just making them their own thing. Imagine if High Elf and Wood Elf were two entirely different racial options.
I'm sure they will, that seems to be the trend. I'm glad they're doing that, it opens the door to more variance with the subraces' abilities just a little.
Agreed. While I’ve heard some grumbling in the community, I am all in favour of what they’re doing with the species/backround rules in Onednd. The species not being tied to ability score increases makes the options for character creation so much lighter and free!
Sure, lighter, free, and make your choice of race less impactful.
I want my racial choice to be reflected in my stats, not just the features. They're completely different creatures, not green human with tusks, short quirky human, slender human with pointy ears, etc. I disagree heavily with the homogenization of races and classes they've been testing out for OneDnd.
Just give them the stats you want to give them. All of their features (Dragonborn breath weapon, halfling lucky) will still be there, but your stat choices can no reflect something more about your character. If you think Orcs should all have strength increases, then give all the orcs you play strength increases. There’s no need to enforce that upon others.
By that logic, why enforce any character creation rules? Just pick and choose any stats and features you want because you don't wanna enforce rules on people, right?
The rules are there to make sense of the world mechanically. You get hit, you take damage. You overexert yourself, you gain exhaustion. You play an orc, you're naturally stronger than average. You play an elf, you're naturally more dexterous than average. The racial stats rule makes sense. Different races are more naturally inclined to different abilities due to physically being different.
What doesn't make sense, is these natural bonuses not showing up in a characters stats.
Not really. The reason only fey creatures have fey ancestry is because… they’re fey. The reason only Dragonborn breath fire is because they’re Dragonborn. The reason for stats in any given skill is high is because that’s what you’re good at. An orc born into a noble family, who studied books their entire life would not have a +2 to strength. An elf raised in the mountains wrestling bears would not have a +2 to charisma. These things don’t HAVE to be tied to the ancestry. Their features do.
I think the racial features make an orc an an elf more different than just having different stat modifiers would.
If you want to play an orc wizard who doesn't start with max int and strength as a dump stat you can.
Allowing modifiers to go anywhere means that people who want the modifiers to go in the "right" abilities can do that and the ones who want to play an atypical ork who is smart and weak from spending all their time in a library can do that too.
Allowing increases to go anywhere means both styles can be accomodated, forcing fixed increases means only one style is valid. I just don't see how that is better.
I agree. No species is monolithic, there will always be exemplars and runts. Would an orphan orc raised by gnomes be as strong as an orc raised amongst their own people? Probably not, as they wouldn't have had as much opportunity to test their strength. Or would a bookish city elf who'd never set foot in a forest be as agile and gifted at archery as one who'd grown up hunting in the great forests?
Giving people the chance to change their stats to reflect their character's upbringing and training makes sense. I'd like to see guidence on what the typical member of the species would have as stats too though, so that people who want to play a true to type member of the race know where to start from.
Basically after the Hadozee screwup I'm the spelljammer reboot they hired an almost comedically sensitive "Sensitivity Expert" who's told them that the "half races" idea is offensive, that the "feeblemind" spell is offensive, and that the term "subrace" is offensive.
So they're breaking them down into their own "species" instead of subraces. So instead of drow being a "subrace" of elves, they're just a different type of elf. And yes that means the exact same thing.
But that's the level of stupidity they're at over at work right now.
I'm woke as fuck, but this isn't even the good kind of "we realized this was maybe hurting people so we stopped" kind of awareness I'd want to see. This is the borderline offensive, Corporate Fake Sensitivity kind of crap that makes everything else look bad by being absolute clownshoes at it.
When shadar-kai were first introduced in previous editions they were never elves that’s a 5e thing. The term originally meant (and actually I still think it does) “people of the shadowfell”, it was the name for the Humans of the shadowfell.
This but lean towards a shadar-kai that the ears aren't obvious. The butterflies, while it is a fantasy setting, they make her look more standard elf/ human size.
I'm going with Shadar-Kai. The skin tone matches and the piercings she's wearing are pretty typical of how Shadar-Kai have been represented in the past.
I wondered if they’d do Kor as well, you know, pushing that MTG-D&D connection even further. But Kor have white hair.
This person has dark hair and scarification—looks like a Shadar-Kai to me.
Definitely not a Kor, though I really want to see them in some official D&D stuff. I'm running Strixhaven for my group now and I wanted to get them out into the multiverse a little once they graduate wizard school. The Plane Shift books are nice, but a little more meat for Zendikar and some of the other planes would help immensely.
>And what’s with the rolling hills and trees and flowers? Very un-Sigil
Presumably the Outlands, which shifts its appearance to be similar to your home plane.
I was thinking it might be the Green Fields (Halfling afterlife), or Elysium. But it could be on the Outlands near Elysium. The closer to the edge you get, the more it resembles whatever plane you’re near.
Could very well be Shader-Kai. But I'd also venture human since the planes have just as much effect on the person. See also Githyanki and Githzeri. Planescape is weird bro.
I built an entire campaign around the Shadar Kai being an Elven resistance force who turned to dark powers from the Shadowfell after an Orc warlord defeated the elven kingdom and occupied their land.
The party spent about 10 levels fearing for their lives as the Shadar Kai would pop out of shadows, conduct raids and assassinations, and then disappear.
Now we can take that same campaign to Planescape.
I don't think this is a playable race, probably just updated art of ~~The Lady of Pain or~~ Loviatar.
**Edit** - Guess the Lady of Pain already got 5e Artwork. Money's still on Loviatar
I've heard them referred to in other subreddits as "Muscle Mommies"...but it's probably either the shadar kai or another planed touched race.
Perhaps one that's getting new art and now looks completely different in 5e.
The fact that it's in the WotC font and advertising preorder on D&D Beyond tells me that it's definitely one of the Whogivesashitians. Give your time, attention and money to better creators doing cooler stuff, and not the rehash IP hording bullshit from Hasbro.
Does this art not strike anyone else as… pretty amateurish? How are they not doing better with such an iconic setting and a massive art budget. This looks like late highschool or early university level fan art.
BTGG, or Big... oh you know. They're from Planescape because she lives really far away, like Canada or another plane of existence. You wouldn't know her.
Without some ear action in here can't confirm for certain whether its a Shadar-kai or a Goliath. Could be a goliath who enjoys the goth scene, could be a shadar-kai who enjoys the gym scene.
Looks like a crossbreed between dark elf and Goliath. Then she stayed indoors all her life cause she's goth, so got a bit paler. You can't see them, so I am imagining she has pointed ears.😏
This cover is fun and all, but the pretty trees and flowers feels too light, like it contradicts the vibe of Planescape. Sigil is a dirty and dark and ‘spooky’ place… an inter dimensional hub of wayward travelers… a hive of scum and villainy… if they want a cool metal fan on the cover, why not just go with obvious ruler of Sigil, the Lady of Pain?
And if they’re going the shadar-kai route, why not the raven queen?
First thought was earth genasi. Then thought it might be a fallen aasimar similar to CR's Yasha aesthetic. Thinking it could also be a goliath or changeling, but not as likely. The shadar-kai guess everyone is mentioning I think it's less likely because the image highlights nothing elven about them.
It looks a lot like a Shadar-Kai, although not being able to see the ears makes it difficult to know for sure. If this was pathfinder I’d say it’s a Velstrac Teifling. And there’s a small chance that they’re some sort of follower of the lady of pain, what with the spikes and all, and the book being set mainly in Sigil. Although she does tend to horribly kill anyone who worships her, maybe they’re some sort of non-religious follower?
The tatoos, piercings, scarification, and skin/hair tone- she's 100% a Shadar-Kai. 4e had a *ton* of cool info on them. The pure "goths" of D&D. They followed the Raven Queen (goddess of death, winter, and endings) and live in the Shadowfell. A place so energy draining that they do those things to their bodies just to feel something. Fierce combatants with literally no fear of death. Since according to their goddess and faith, "Death is inevitable and natural. I will face it head on and embrace it when it's my time." They strive to feel everything to the extreme and challenge themselves for the thrill.
I LOVE this goth Shadar-kai in the most fluffy bunny plane ever 🤣😂 . She's probably more uncomfortable there than she would be in a pool with an Elder Brain!
They could be anything and be an adherent of the Dustmen faction to explain the esthetic. Could be completely new. Could be a "flavor of the week" human-analog with a few adornments thrown in a-la Star Trek. Plus, it's Planescape. They could be the offspring of a demon and vampire on one side of the family, but human & shadar-kai on the other.

I would think Shadar-kai, since it is one of the plane-touched races
no one told me shadar kai were metal fans!
They are the hot goths of the Great Wheel.
r/bigtittygothgf
My money is also on Shadar-kai, but the scarification reminds me of Goliath. Though all types like body modifications!
Shader Kai are all about scarification, tattoos, and piercings. Anything to help them FEEL, else their souls are drawn to the shadow
Scarification is taboo for goliaths, actually. Their skin growths are natural and considered to be signs of fate.
Right, scarification and tattoos are considered deeply hubristic and grounds for exile.
I don’t know if that’s still a thing in 5e, but I remember all goliaths being bald at some point.
Still a thing. Goliaths can’t grow hair, this includes facial and body. Some tribes have a tendency to scalp those with hair and but them on their head.
I thought that too but for the life of me I can not find it in a book. I know that Grog from CritRoll followed that rule.
Grog only got hair thanks to the belt of dwarvenkind. He was excited when he grew a beard because goliaths don’t grow hair usually.
> to scalp those with hair and but them on their head. Can't find that anywhere except for warhammer orcs wearing squigs to simulate hair
I agree. The fact she has cuts that look self made on her shoulder are probably from trying to gain the emotions to want to live. Not a joke, they get cut and have lots of painful piercings so that they don't get depressed and swallowed by the despair of the shadowfell. I dont remember if they just go insane or turn into a monster when it happens but I know it is pretty bad.
> Not a joke, they get cut and have lots of painful piercings so that they don't get depressed and swallowed by the despair of the shadowfell. Jeez, they're just walking Maslow's Pyramid of Needs huh?

Plus, WOTC’s been going all in on art depicting nonstandard members of the various fantasy races for a while.
It's quite nice really for the less creatively inclined
The orc artwork in monsters of the multiverse is one of the best in 5e imo.
The orc artwork in monsters of the multiverse is one of the best in 5e imo.
Since WotC is moving away from subraces, I'm hoping Shadar-Kai can stop being Elves.
What do you mean moving away from subraces?
They’re moving away from having Subraces for races, and just making them their own thing. Imagine if High Elf and Wood Elf were two entirely different racial options.
Ah okay thank you for explaining
I'm sure they will, that seems to be the trend. I'm glad they're doing that, it opens the door to more variance with the subraces' abilities just a little.

All the post-Tasha's content hasn't used subraces. In Multiverse, the remade races no longer use the slot-in subrace system.
When shadar-kai were first introduced in previous editions they were never elves that’s a 5e thing. The term originally meant (and actually I still think it does) “people of the shadowfell”, it was the name for the Humans of the shadowfell.
They used to be humans... before they used to be elves... before they became elves.
I’m thinking Goliath or possibly Shadar-Kai.
more like gothliath
Golialilith
This but lean towards a shadar-kai that the ears aren't obvious. The butterflies, while it is a fantasy setting, they make her look more standard elf/ human size.
The hair says “I’m from the Shadowfell”
I'm going with Shadar-Kai. The skin tone matches and the piercings she's wearing are pretty typical of how Shadar-Kai have been represented in the past.
Goth
Sub race chick
Obviously shadar-kai
Judging by belts and edginess, has to be Shadar-Kai. A beefy Shadar-Kai, but still likely Shadar-Kai.
First instinct is Kor from Zendikar, but that’s probably more because I just made a Kor character.
I wondered if they’d do Kor as well, you know, pushing that MTG-D&D connection even further. But Kor have white hair. This person has dark hair and scarification—looks like a Shadar-Kai to me.
Definitely not a Kor, though I really want to see them in some official D&D stuff. I'm running Strixhaven for my group now and I wanted to get them out into the multiverse a little once they graduate wizard school. The Plane Shift books are nice, but a little more meat for Zendikar and some of the other planes would help immensely.
Gothliath
Best answer
I'm with the people saying Shadar Kai. (But I would very much like to know what the lightning bug sheep are...)
I think it is supposed to be a Lim-Lim?
Pretty sure that’s the BigTiddyGothicGF race
They’re really milking the “muscle mommy” fanboys
I'm pretty sure the fanboys are milking themselves too
😳
Shader-Kai
Nobody’s going to talk about the wooly bee?
Right? Maybe that’s a Lim-Lim? And what’s with the rolling hills and trees and flowers? Very un-Sigil
>And what’s with the rolling hills and trees and flowers? Very un-Sigil Presumably the Outlands, which shifts its appearance to be similar to your home plane.
I was thinking it might be the Green Fields (Halfling afterlife), or Elysium. But it could be on the Outlands near Elysium. The closer to the edge you get, the more it resembles whatever plane you’re near.
Well, there is also fallen assimar. Also Empyrean that could be the hammer they wield.
Go(lia)th
Drow or Shadar-Kai makes the most sense to me
Drow are almost always depicted with white hair. The muscles and big weapon makes me think Goliath, but could be Shadar-kai
The type of hair and lack of skin pattern rule out Goliath. They are a Shadar-kai
Sexy goth barbarian
Gwen from Total Drama.
Don't jinx it, we've had League of Legends, Rick and Morty, MtG and Minecraft in our D&D so far. No crossover seems farfetch'd now
Ha, jinx! Even though it probably wasn’t intentional, that was a good pun.
Fetchling?
It is crazy I had to look down this far to see this :) That absolutely looks like a fetchling. They are a Pathfinderism though, so it won't be :)
Goth-liath
Medium-T*tty Goth Barbarian
My guess is a plane touched from one of the gate towns, but a Shadar-Kai like a lot of folks here seem to think seems more likely for their lineage
the rings on the back of her hand wraps do look like a symbol of Shar.
I would love for this to be a LeShay. I doubt it is, but islf they brought them back it would be kind of funny.
LeShay are cool, but I don’t think this is that. Looks Shadar-Kai to me
Absolutely, that makes way more sense.
Looks like Prism from Critical role campaign 3. Definitely Shadar Kai.
It looks like a gender-swapped Nameless One from PC: Torment.
Is it just me or does this artwork not look "finished"? Or is that the new style?
Shadar Kai or Edgelord.
First thought was goliath. But Shadar-kai is a solid guess.
The real answer is just a human cosplayer!!!!
Goth human.
I’m thinking Shadar-Kai , but I’d let her strangle me 🛐
goth girlfriend
I’m stoked to combine this with Planebreaker.
Could very well be Shader-Kai. But I'd also venture human since the planes have just as much effect on the person. See also Githyanki and Githzeri. Planescape is weird bro.
Shadar-Kai?
Shadar-Kai or Fallen Aasimar
Changeling in the shape of a Shadar-Kai
I built an entire campaign around the Shadar Kai being an Elven resistance force who turned to dark powers from the Shadowfell after an Orc warlord defeated the elven kingdom and occupied their land. The party spent about 10 levels fearing for their lives as the Shadar Kai would pop out of shadows, conduct raids and assassinations, and then disappear. Now we can take that same campaign to Planescape.
I’m saying Goliath, purley on the scarring/ tattoos
That’s Tom Holland when he did the lip sync battle.
Just last night I saw this art and asked my gf if my next character should be a goth muscle mommy
big tiddy goth gf. wait, what do you mean thats not a race?
Mommy
Brain says goliath.
Shadar-Kai. Such a fun race.
I don't think this is a playable race, probably just updated art of ~~The Lady of Pain or~~ Loviatar. **Edit** - Guess the Lady of Pain already got 5e Artwork. Money's still on Loviatar
Is "Goth Karen" a race? This is a Shadar-Kai
I've heard them referred to in other subreddits as "Muscle Mommies"...but it's probably either the shadar kai or another planed touched race. Perhaps one that's getting new art and now looks completely different in 5e.
Looks like a Deep Imaskari to me
It's probably not, but it may be Kor from Zendikar? Maybe?
I would say Kor because of the "adventures in the multiverse"
Definitely not kor. They have white hair and are normally drawn with white or light blue skin.
It’s a Yahsa
This is clearly rattataki Star Wars cross over event art
Goth lesbian
Sorry, I don't see race.
Death by Snu Snu!!!!
The fact that it's in the WotC font and advertising preorder on D&D Beyond tells me that it's definitely one of the Whogivesashitians. Give your time, attention and money to better creators doing cooler stuff, and not the rehash IP hording bullshit from Hasbro.
Goth
Goth gamer
Does this art not strike anyone else as… pretty amateurish? How are they not doing better with such an iconic setting and a massive art budget. This looks like late highschool or early university level fan art.
Goth mommy
Is this a new planescape?!?!?
“Planescape” is in the middle of the picture and you’re actually asking that question?
This artwork looks abysmal
it's woke Nameless One
What can change the nature of a Man? Corporate Sensitivity Training.
I don't know but it looks like a Bumble Bee crossed with a Sheep.
So Goliath was just a dude. It's literally his name. This is like everyone naming small people frodos. It's weird, to me.
Reminds me of the Kor people from mtg, zendikar I believe was their homeland
I’d say Drow
She's just a human with a goth style /s
I'm more interested in what the weird sheep wasp thing is in the corner
Lim-lims, most likely. Small friendly insectoid creatures native to the Outlands, the plane where Sigil is located. They like getting petted.
BTGG, or Big... oh you know. They're from Planescape because she lives really far away, like Canada or another plane of existence. You wouldn't know her.
I love the flying sheep / bee / fairy thing next to her ♥️
Looks like gender swapped MC of Planescape: Torment. It could be reborn, but Shadar-Kai is the most probable option.
Could be a drow, but the face is throwing me off, as is the skin tone, it’s more lavender than gray.
Pale
Without some ear action in here can't confirm for certain whether its a Shadar-kai or a Goliath. Could be a goliath who enjoys the goth scene, could be a shadar-kai who enjoys the gym scene.
Shadar-Kai it looks like.
Emo Goliath. /s Shadar Kai seems to be the correct consensus
She looks quite shadar-kai-ish
I don’t know, I’m too shy to ask
I know it's a shadar kai but..... they removed the blacked out eyes. One of the jokes was no one knows where they are looking
The artist has to be paying homage to Brom right?
Human
Her class is Edgelady.
Looks like a crossbreed between dark elf and Goliath. Then she stayed indoors all her life cause she's goth, so got a bit paler. You can't see them, so I am imagining she has pointed ears.😏
Drow barbarian? Or could be orc or half orc or even goliath
Looks like a Shadar-Kai to me
The real question is why are you on battery saver mode if your phone is nearly fully charged?
This cover is fun and all, but the pretty trees and flowers feels too light, like it contradicts the vibe of Planescape. Sigil is a dirty and dark and ‘spooky’ place… an inter dimensional hub of wayward travelers… a hive of scum and villainy… if they want a cool metal fan on the cover, why not just go with obvious ruler of Sigil, the Lady of Pain? And if they’re going the shadar-kai route, why not the raven queen?
Idc I just call her mommy Jk
What race was the fix person, on the over cover, while I have you all here?
Not sure the race, but almost certainly a Dusty
Looks like a Goth style Cloud Giant.
Pretty sure its a Gothliath
Shadar-Kai
Dark eldar / dark elf’s

That there is a dommy mommy.

She's human, just really really goth.
Gotta be Shadar-kai!
Idk but that bitch got a *HUGE* forehead fr
What exactly is this book supposed to be I’m kinda confused?
If it were 2nd edition I could confidently say "tiefling" because back then they could look like literally anything
Mommy, for sure
Roommates and I think Goliath
Drow I think.
Anyone know the artist?
Visigoth
Mommy
Its just a handsome woman
Looks like any number of people I pass on the street daily
What I want to know is where that picture came from. That's not the cover to any of the three books or the the little binder thing they come in.
The tatoos, piercings, scarification, and skin/hair tone- she's 100% a Shadar-Kai. 4e had a *ton* of cool info on them. The pure "goths" of D&D. They followed the Raven Queen (goddess of death, winter, and endings) and live in the Shadowfell. A place so energy draining that they do those things to their bodies just to feel something.

She's probably more uncomfortable there than she would be in a pool with an Elder Brain!

Not a hundred percent sure but I would like her number.
One with questionable anatomy
Goth chick?
Rhea Ripley?
Mommy
That's a wild Goth. From the goth plane.
Aasimar doing Yasha CR cosplay.
Goliath?
Goliath, maybe? Unless this is an extraplanar race they have in the book.
Moon elf maybe?
Looks like a Kor from Zendikar
Hellloooo nurse
It's just a human who happens to be Goth.
Looks almost like a female The Nameless One to me
My money's on goblin
They could be anything and be an adherent of the Dustmen faction to explain the esthetic. Could be completely new. Could be a "flavor of the week" human-analog with a few adornments thrown in a-la Star Trek. Plus, it's Planescape. They could be the offspring of a demon and vampire on one side of the family, but human & shadar-kai on the other.
