Critical Role Dunamancy from Wildemount

[jmucchiello]

He's not the only person working on this book. (I would not expect a full class either, but not because of who the lead author is).

Yes, but dunamancy is Mercer's baby and there is no precedent in the critrole game for a separate class existing. Liam's character, Caleb, is a wizard. Essik (the character who taught dunamantic spells to Caleb) is also probably a wizard. So I doubt Mercer would see the need for a separate class.

And WotC doesn't really do full new classes much. They seem to be avoiding it, even.

That's not really a "but". It's exactly why I said I wouldn't expect a full class.

The most obvious reason to think it isn't a full class, is because WotC would be screaming
A BRAND NEW CLASS FOR D&D. The BLAHBLAH is the 14th class available.

That too.

Aaaaaaaaaand once again, my inventions will be said to be plagiarism*....
*I was the first to use Cthulhu in my world's creation story and dawn type war...I swear!

Considering Cthulhu was in the first Deities and Demigods, I think the first ones to do so were probably all in a chunk. Cthulhu was a featured player in the cretion mythos of my first setting (his intrusion turned Devils into the first Demons) back when Disco was cool the first time.

What about Blood Hunter, which was inspired by Wildemount as I understand it?

Again, they would probably be publicizing a new class in the book if that was the case.

None of the promo blurbs have said that the Blood Hunter will be in the Wildemount book, so I have no reason to believe it will be made official.

Mercer has confirmed on Twitter that is not in this book...but that he is still working on it.

Heck, it wouldn't be crazy to me if a polished Blood Hunter is included in a future general D&D book, since Exandria is now an official D_D world, and the whole schtick is tied to Wizards IP (the Raven Queen).

You seem to be arguing against your own strawman - I can't see anyone who has suggested they are expecting new classes in the Wildemont book.
