That’s part of the fundamental backward-compatible promise of the whole revision I don’t know, but I strongly suspect that clarity in backward compatibility is why the word “race” isn’t changing. The main “context” here is Monsters of the Multiverse and its new races (link goes to the third article int the series, which includes links to parts one and two, thus encompassing all of the races in MotM). The byline on this lists Jeremy Crawford, with Christopher Perkins and Ray Winninger.
It’s a 21-page document (also this paragraph comes an hour and a half later), so… get a drink, settle in. You don’t get to “break” the edition numbering system, because D&D’s numbering system is essential to discourse around it. Since I have a little spare time before the document drops (it’s 18 August 2022, 2:21 EDT) as I write this… let me also say that I both hope and assume they won’t try to pass off One D&D as the real name of the post-playtest release. I’ve listened to the video conversation between Todd Kenreck and Jeremy Crawford for as much context as possible right now. You can argue that my assumptions are incorrect, but unless you’re breaking an NDA, we’re both guessing. Keep in mind that I am going to be making assumptions about what’s in future packets, but that’s all there is to go on. I’m going to go as deep into this document as I possibly can.
They’re beginning at, you know, the beginning of the Player’s Handbook (not counting the Introduction or Chapter 1: Step by Step), with Character Origins. We’re going to get one of these packets roughly once a month from now until Judgment Day sometime in 2024. It’s finally here, y’all: the public playtest of One D&D, the much-anticipated revision of 5e.
