Yeah, it really seems that the trend the past few years has been to bring Magic and D&D closer together in terms of style and production value. That probsy started with Rabnica, when the D&D team saw how Magic card art looked in a D&D book (whichnis to say, pretty awesome). And D&D book art like this piece...it will look good if they take it and reuse it for a Magic card someday.

Scryfall is so much better than Gatherer it's not funny. The search engine is powerful.

Great series. I’m can’t wait for the fourth book.

 

[Vaalingrade]

ugh. Yes. So much. I am really tired of criticism of recent D&D editions as anything like superheroic.

Imagine how awesome D&D would be if it were actual superheroic and dealt with personal dichotomies or personality vs ability, assuming authority and responsibility over one's community, the psychology and ethics of having markedly greater capability than the average person, and the actual effects such things have on the wider world.

People forget: powerless Bruce Wayne and Frank Castle are superheroes; Merlin and the Terminator are not.

I like the art, it’s cool art, but it doesn’t feel wizard to me, skipping right over the fact that white and gold together are much more associated as divine colours, between the glowing eyes, all the floating (herself, her staff AND the surrounding books) and the pose, this all feels way too wild and unrestrained to feel like it embodies DnDs presented concept of wizard who mastered this magic through extensive study and learning and who has it under their complete control, this feel more like a sorcerer channeling sheer raw power for their purposes.

Glasses of True Seeing? Tass had them. Which has been a magic item since before DL, I believe.

She could be an Aasimar, even though they aren't covering Aasimar in the PHB. After all, not all Aasimar have blonde hair and blue eyes.
