Everyone gets a free feat and a more mechanically impactful background in D&D's 2024 Player's Handbook

While the 2024 Player's Handbook isn't due out until September 17, early copies will be available at Gen Con in August, so expect the rules to be out in the wild soon. Wizards of the Coast has been continuing to detail the book's contents in the meantime, recently showing the 10 playable species it will include, and now explaining how the new backgrounds and origin feats will work.

"The 2024 Player's Handbook has changed the order you move through while crafting your characters", it explains.
