Where did you guys get the idea for the name “Tabaxi”? I think it’s a great name! I’m trying to create a wolf humanoid race and want some inspiration for a cool name. Thank you for your amazing work! Alas, it’s a name we inherited from Fiend Folio, a D&D book published back in 1981. Not familiar with where the name came from.

Is the Boggle tiny (DNDBeyond) or small (Volo’s)? Also what would you say if a player wanted a Boggle warlock familiar?small – i'd allow it, but as a DM i'd have to focus on making it a real pain the ass

If a Grung Paladin used Lay on Hands on a non-Grung… Would they be poisoned?
So I just thought of something… @Onnatryx @RutyWoot …. If a Grung Paladin used Lay on Hands on a non-Grung… Would they be poisoned?Since grung aren't an official player race, I'd say up to the DM. In my game, the answer would be no, the paladin can choose to take care

I was reading the Tabaxi and realized there was no race based on dogs, why?
@mikemearls I was reading the Tabaxi race in Volo's and realized there was no race based on dogs. Any particular reason why?
— Shayne Gunsher (@skinnier_jeans) July 30, 2017
We thought about doing one, and still might – wanted to do something with a bit more than just dog person, like tabaxi's Mesoamerican feel https://t.co/20pqA6sgm8

For a PC, would specify that it needs to be a swap with willing ally, could be a pain if conjurer can nearly at-will teleport
