TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Introduction he Multiverse is packed full with races of all kinds! The Dream Dwarves of Faerun, The Psi-forged of Eberron, the Calibans of Barovia, the Thrull of Ravnica, even the Nyxborn of Theros... Presented here is just a sample of the races I have encountered on my travels Tthrough the multiverse, races you yourself just might run into in your exploration. Hopefully the information presented here will help you diplomatically deal with the races in question, when you run into them. You will find races native to deserts, seas, and tundras of the planes of Faerun and Eberron. They may yet still be found in other planes, only our continued travels through the multiverse will say for certain. What is Auron's Guide? Auron's Guide to the Multiverse is a series of supplements intended to provide both converted and homebrew player options for your Dungeons & Dragons 5e campaign. Everything contained herein is aimed primarily to the player character, but can most definately be used by dungeon masters for NPC creation. How to use this book In this book you'll find thirty races and subraces convered from a few 3.5 books. Those books are Frostburn, Sandstorm, Stormwrack, and Races of the Dragon, and Dragon Magic. Each of the races are updated from their original 3.5 version to be more compatible with the 5e system as presented in the Players Handbook and Dungeon Master's Guide.
