If you are playing an elf, dwarf, halfling or gnome, there is some really grat backstory information in terms of their deities and gods, how their societies exist and how to play into those, and from those, we also get some playable races, including 3 elven variations and a dwarven and a gnome variation.

Most intresting is the addition of the Gith; their story of seeking to escape oppression from the mindflayers that ruled them and how their traits come out of that struggle are very intresting to me and I love that you can play either a Githyanki, who have been focusing on battle and strength or a githzerai who have been focused on developing their minds.

As I dug deeper into the book, I was less worried about the reprints and started thinking how awesome this collection of monsters from across the multiverse was, especially with so many monsters having higher challenge ratings CR.
