None of the anthology books have Tier 3 adventures. Candlekeep’s Level 16 one is the ceiling. Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage touts itself as going up to level 20. It actually covers levels 5-17, and then there’s one more dungeon level after that wherein the book kinda throws up its hands...

I think the Winter Walker ranger might have an issue with its ability to overcome Resistance to Cold, but not Immunity to Cold. The set of creatures that have Resistance but not Immunity to Cold is kinda limited, and this ranger might be out of luck trying to use that ability against a lot of...

I was a player in both Tomb of Annihilation and Baldur's Gate: Descent into Avernus and it was pretty clutch in both campaigns due to its ability to ameliorate hostile environmental conditions in both settings, allowing for safe long rests without deleterious effects (mosquito-born disease in...

Having read the Circle Casting section in full, I definitely have concerns about out-of-combat applications the designers may not have considered. Example: Aura of Vitality. With one secondary caster it can last one hour - which gives 1200d6 of healing out over that 160 minutes, or even 200d6...

There's a minor exploit they may have overlooked with the Spellfire Sorcerer being able to recharge Sorcery Points by Counterspelling low-level spells cast by friendlies willing to voluntarily fail saves.

Oh sorry. The Beyond part looks to be a ~2 page section with: About 1/2 a page on Chult with spotlights on Port Nyanzaru & Mezro 1/3 page on Evermeet 1/3 page on Lake of Steam with Akhapur spotlighted 1/3 page on Shaar with Lhesper and Shaarmid spotlighted 1/4 page on Sossal

Have to head out for a bit; will answer more later if others haven't already.

I legit don't know what this means.

Infernal tieflings are most common, but tieflings in general are rare. Talks about Asmodeus/Spellplague business but notes Asmodeus' gambit failed. In cities, tend to form communities & help each other Aglarond is a tiefling haven More common in Old Empires due to lots of divine activities...

Aurora's Whole Realms catalogue offers pricing on 12 magic items (11 of which are new, I believe). 10 are fun, minor magical items for 50gp or less, often items of clothing from particular regions that offer minor magical benefits. I like these. Priced at 4k gp is the windskiff, a necklace that...

At least in the Heroes book, I'm not seeing any references to firearms.

I'm looking through the Heroes book first but will get to Adventures when I can Spellfire spells are 50/50 Evocation and Abjuration

Goliaths enclaves found in Chult, Anauroch, and The North some live near and/or with communities of giants. Likely to be the same type of goliath as the giants are (cloud, fire, frost, etc). Influenced by giants' beliefs & serve as intermediaries/ambassadors for giants & smaller folk Peaceful...

I'm now able to access them on DNDBeyond. Reading through Heroes book now; AMA.

I don’t 100% buy this as a budget issue. Games with lower budgets than Solasta 2 (Shadowrun: Dragonfall, Shadowrun: Hong Kong, Skald: Against the Black Priory, etc.) have much stronger writing even though they’re very linear. I’m not expecting romances or sandbox play. Just dialogue that reads...
