Well, I might as well finally throw my hat in just for the hell of it, quick question, it mentions in the Race thread under the Character Creation tab
QuoteHobgoblins, along with many of the monstrous races aren’t that common in the region, but neither are they unknown or as unexpected as something like tabaxi or kenku.
But under "What Rulebooks Should I Use?" in the same tab, it only lists
QuoteYou can use non-optional rules found in the Player’s Handbook, the Basic Rules, and all the books listed below. If a rule has been reprinted in a newer resource, you must always use the latest printing.
• Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons (FTD)
• Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse (MPMM)
• Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything (TCE)
• Xanathar’s Guide to Everything (XGE)
You may also use the rules found in the following digital publications:
• Elemental Evil Player’s Companion (EEPC)
• Locathah Rising (LR)
I just want to double check and confirm Volo's monstrous options are NOT available for this campaign since it caused me a bit of confusion.
EDIT: Apologies', for whatever reason I saw 'Mordenkainen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse' and I just did not connect the dots in my head between the book and the name. I rescind my question and apologize for takin up space.
