I would like to hear what Van Richten's has that this does not, because it certainly seems like it's meant to be a replacement.

Well we don't have the full book yet, but I wager there won't be full reprints over everything.

Looks like my hopes of the psion being included with Bluetspur have been dashed. Maybe Arcana Unleashed

 

[Espadadelaaurora]

Any idea on the page count?

You’ll be waiting till Dark Sun. If Psion was in either of these books, they would have advertised that.

So far, it seems that the 5.5 design ethos focuses more on crunch and short adventure content. For instance, the amount of Subclasses, Feats, and other things in the new Faerun and Eberron books were much higher than their predecessors. It seems this book will be the same way--more stat blocks, short adventure content, player options, and bastion stuff.

They are kind of making books that are half-splat, half-setting.

I think the argument was more “they won’t reprint 5e books with 5.5 edits.” While I get that this is similar, it isn’t the same as them printing a 5.5e VGTR redux.

Honestly, there is no indication that they will reprint a bunch of stuff that was in Van Richten's here, similar to Rising from the Last War and Forge of the Artificer. Supplement rather than replacement.

Yeah there was a bunch of DM toll information in Van Richten's not being reprinted here based on what they are putting down, and even if it has a bunch of the same Domains that isn't necessarily a reprint if it is a different approach to them.

Well, I will need to compare and kitbash him with statblock from that one Cthulhu Mythos book from few years ago.

 

[TravDoc42]

It appears the Gremishkas are being reprinted, at least?

Love those lil guys!

Glad Cthulhu's here but he seems kind of weak for CR25. I feel like there should be a save against Confusion to even look at him.
