Dragonlance Dragonlance: Solamnic Knights & Mages of High Sorcery Preview

WotC has shared another preview of the upcoming Dragonlance setting/adventure with a look at backgrounds and feats for Solamnic Knights and Mages of High Sorcery.

Feats include Squire of Solamnia and Initiate of High Sorcery. Interestingly, one prerequisite is "Dragonlance Campaign", which implies that the feats can't be used outside that setting.

Interesting bit is that the “Dragonlance Campaign” is a feat prerequisite.

If there was only some alternative way for the DM to handle that....

That mage feat remains definitively weaker than Magic Initiate.

Very interesting indeed. They seem fairly flavorfully Dragonlance.

Also, I noted that the Squire of Solamnia Feat doesn't necessarily indicate that it's about riding a horse. I really hope we get to see the PCs fight on dragonback in the adventure.

Interesting that they have decided to make the Mages open to all arcane casters.

Really?

This feat gets you two first level spells that you can use any slot for. And be cast once per day with out a slot.

The MI feat gives you one first level spell that you can only cast at its lowest level.

Am I reading them wrong?
Or am I missing sarcasm?

The gods forbid anything be setting specific.

The complete lack of mustache on those Knights is killing me.

Like, why even change that? Why was that needed to change?

Modern gamers don't like moustaches?

Its like joining the military though and having to ad hear to their dress codes.. You are RPing a Knight that has an established dress code.

Just such a little detail that adds uniqueness to the Knights and to Krynn... but it has to go!
