[QUOTE="Kurotowa, post: 8646163, member: 27957"] A giant themed book to match Fizban's dragon themed book would be my guess too. There's just too much stuff here for anything else. As for the feats, I they're they're trying out a "Why not both?" approach. You'll note there's one feat chain in this as well, the Rune Carver Apprentice and Rune Carver Adept pair. It may be that their idea is to keep the "chains" limited in length to keep them from being too onerous. Two feats isn't much of a chain, especially when you're getting free feats from somewhere. As for interesting uses for the material itself, it's cool the Barbarian one is doing double duty as the "big and elementally charged" subclass and the "make thrown weapons viable for Barbarians" subclass. Doesn't hook me personally, but I appreciate it exists. The Primeval Druid is certainly deploying the summoned companion tech they've been refining to its utmost. A lot tankier of a companion than most, but unlike Drakewarden Rangers or Battlesmith Artificers you're not being encouraged to go into melee with it. In fact, the "make spells originate from the companion" feature might open up some interesting spell choices. A good use case for Poison Spray? Maybe try to pick up Shocking Grasp via race or feat? I don't think you'd want Booming Blade or Green-Flame Blade, since the companion would have to make the melee attack and their attack bonus is a bit low. [/QUOTE]
