A creature can cast the action’s spells a certain number of times per day.
The Spellcasting action doesn’t use spell slots. That action now appears in the “Actions” section of a stat block, and it has a few important qualities: Starting in 2021, we have merged those two traits into an action called Spellcasting. Since 2014, spellcasting creatures have tended to have the Spellcasting trait, the Innate Spellcasting Trait, or both. Creatures, such as most Beasts and Oozes, that are incapable of moral discernment continue to lack an alignment and therefore bear the term “Unaligned.”. Members of certain organizations-charitable knighthoods or diabolical cults, for example-also sometimes get the “Typically” treatment. The holy can fall, and the fiendish can rise. That one word-“typically”-reminds the DM that the alignment is a narrative suggestion it isn’t an existential absolute. Magical creatures that have a strong moral inclination (angels, demons, devils, undead, and the like) have an alignment preceded by the word “Typically.” For example, a demon’s stat block says “Typically Chaotic Evil,” since it is typical for a D&D demon to be chaotic evil. Generic Humanoids bear the words “Any Alignment,” reminding the DM that such people have vast moral range.

Only named individuals, such as Mister Witch and Mister Light, have a definite alignment. To eliminate that seed of doubt while preserving alignment’s function as a roleplaying tool, we’ve made the following changes: The Player’s Handbook suggests alignments for various folk in the D&D multiverse, and the stat blocks in the Monster Manual include alignments without reminding the DM that those alignments are merely suggestions. Alignment is essentially a roleplaying aid.īoth books are clear about the player and the DM having the final say on alignment, but both books also plant a seed of doubt. No matter what alignment is chosen, a creature’s alignment describes that creature’s moral outlook alignment doesn’t determine the creature’s behavior. In the rules of the Player’s Handbook, you choose your character’s alignment, and in the rules of the Monster Manual, the DM determines a monster’s alignment. So why did alignment get a time out? For a while, there’d been some confusion in the community about alignment’s role in D&D. Now that we’ve done that work, alignment returns in The Wild Beyond the Witchlight and appears in all our other upcoming books as well. We omitted alignment in those books as a temporary measure, giving us time to determine how to handle alignment going forward. Alignment had a time out in the stat blocks of Candlekeep Mysteries and Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft.
