Hi. If this has been posted and answered elsewhere, I apologize. I am new to D&D and am trying to build a Hobgoblin fighter that will subclass as a samurai. In the physical copy of MMotM, hobgoin has the trait "saving face", but in Beyond's app, it is listed as "Fortune from the many". Other than flavor text, the only difference that I can tell is saving face can only be used once (resets after short or long rest) and Fortune can be used the same amount as your Dex bonus. Which one is the correct/current trait?
Edit: saving face can give you max of +5 whereas Fortune only gives you max of +3
I believe that the one with Fortune From The Many is the current version, but I think you're free to use either version (like how here on beyond races have Legacy and current versions) so I don't think one is "correct" per se.
Thanks for the response! I really appreciate it! I did some more "lurking" and I found that saving face was from Volo's guide to monsters (pre MMotM). Sadly, Volo's is not available in d&d beyond app.
Yeah, from what I can tell hobgoblins were written in a more militaristic and prideful way before the current version, where they're more fey-leaning and rely on the Power of Friendship.

Are you sure it isn't the other way around? MotM version should have fortune of the many in both physical and digital versions. Saving face was the VGtM version.

You're right. I got the sources mixed up. I appreciate the response though! 😀
