    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: Raven Queen

    I have sometimes a feeling that when they were making deities for 4e they pretty much picked Wee Jas, focused her portfolio more around death and painted her hair black. Because a lot of it fits. Mostly LN (well 4e didnt have LN, but her description makes think of that) the few backstory...

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: Raven Queen

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYou87fg1f0 Crawford going a bit more into depth in regards of both The Raven Queen and Shadar-Kai.

    Future Books like VGTM and MTOF?

    I'm agreeing that we will be getting a "dragon book" sooner or later. But what else, no idea really.

    D&D 5E D&D Beyond: Raven Queen

    Raven Queen is a popular entity/deity and its no wonder that the devs are looking for a way to bring it into the damn mess that is the general D&D cosmology/Great Wheel stuff and settings in general. The problem is that most of the settings have already their own gods of death and a bunch of...

    Unearthed Arcana Four New Elf Subraces in Unearthed Arcana

    Same here. I think when they were "porting" gods to 4e, they decided that Wee Jas is a better death deity than Nerull (for many obvious reasons :P) and decided that when they are focusing her solely on the death part of her portfolio, they felt that maybe renaming and re-imagining might be...

    Unearthed Arcana Four New Elf Subraces in Unearthed Arcana

    I'm not sure what DEFCON1 is thinking, but for me the Raven Queen warlock pact seemed connected a bit to Mearls' comments about turning another 4e deity Torog into a powerful fiend, extraplanar entity or warlock patron. Considering that they probably don't intend to do bring Nentir Vale back as...

    Unearthed Arcana Four New Elf Subraces in Unearthed Arcana

    Because the idea of human subraces is racist for some people... :P Anyway about "überemo BDSM humans" being turned into elves... isnt it actually an attempt to combine the 3.x and 4e versions, because if i remember correctly, the original shadar-kai were fey native to the shadow plane in one of...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Guide to Everything: Spells

    Even better news was that some of them got enhanced or revised. So hopefully a lot of them are a lot more usable than before. Only really affects Al games and games with DM's that have a "One extra book only rule." Most home games will be fine.

    D&D 5E Xanatar's Guide to Everything: Divine Soul Sorcerer

    Yeah... got a lot more feeling of the J word there, if anything else. I seriously hope that the alignment part is more on the side of heritage/choosing entity, not the sorcerer. I hoped that i don't need to house rule anything from XGtE, but well domain version of divine soul coming up...

    D&D 5E Xanatar's Guide to Everything: Divine Soul Sorcerer

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhWa-U0a6-g So thy mentioned it on Friday and now its here. Not a fan of the stronger connection to the gods, but can rectify it in my own games. A lot less fan that there is going to be at least one alignment related ability, disliking it, if they already went...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Wiki of Everything: what's in the new book?

    Part of its is the designer's comments in articles, tweets, subclass announcements and so on. Other is how the player base reacted to various subclasses when their UA-s were released or what general expectations or hopes have been. So yeah, not most certain source in that speculation, mostly me...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Guide to Everything: Arcane Archer Subclass

    Well we know that one of the rogue subclasses is the inquisitive and well there haven't been any other rogue subclasses in the UA other than scout and swashbuckler and the second is already both in SCAG and XGtE, so Scout is probably in as a rogue subclass, unless they have created something for...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Wiki of Everything: what's in the new book?

    While there is some thematic overlap between celestial and seeker, there are also a number of considerable differences. The Celestial is the rework of the Undying Light patron, focused on radiant damage and healing and getting their stuff from a celestial patron. The Seeker patron can be a...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Wiki of Everything: what's in the new book?

    Fighter is now confirmed to get 3, so there is probably only one other or maybe two, if the number is over 25 instead of just 25. There is a number of classes that could use some subclass love, namely bard, druid and ranger. An argument can also be made for barbarian and sorcerer. When it comes...

    D&D 5E Xanathar's Guide to Everything: What subclasses made the cut?

    Arcane archer is in (like there was any doubt:P) similarity at the end of the video, the favored soul, now renamed divine soul is also confirmed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClmO0QKDOxA
