And what does this mean? Well, it means that <strong>it will have a total of 12 classes, with 4 subclasses each (48 in total), plus backgrounds<\/strong>, new spells, weapon rules, and of course, new art that, after the last setback, will not be made with <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/meta-and-ray-bans-smart-glasses-will-be-able-to-translate-conversations-thanks-to-their-ai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It doesn&#8217;t quite reach the level of 6E of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/dungeons-dragons-expands-with-its-own-deck-to-read-the-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">D&amp;D<\/a>, but it can be considered 5.5E because it even changes the way we play: now, your background affects the initial ability scores of the characters and also offers a special ability at level one. The idea is that the player <strong>feels, even at higher levels, that their past has an impact on their character<\/strong>. Narrative used through mechanics. At the very least, interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"PAX Unplugged Panel: 50 Years of D&amp;D Adventures\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4ln78tTLGdU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, as you can imagine, 48 subclasses are not few, and this Player&#8217;s Handbook will also be the largest to date in size. However, <strong>it does not come to revolutionize your character that you created in 2014<\/strong>: you can continue playing it but with a couple of additions. According to the creators, the idea is for you to continue with your games, but with some novelties to make D&amp;D even more attractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Monster Manual will also have a new edition with over 500 enemies and the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/dungeons-dragons-introduces-its-first-autistic-character-into-the-canon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Dungeon Master<\/a>&#8216;s will be expanded with a complete campaign and different adventures.
