Cthulhu is the dark lord. He just operates differently than traditional dark lords (in that he’s imprisoned there and always slumbering).

I just think the Mist Walker Dark Gift is too powerful to be an “origin” feat. But we will see sooner than later now.

I guess it is possible. We know one of the two origin feats based on the preview pages (Sharp Eye, found on the Investigator).

Think it’s confirmed all 4 subclasses have either an origin feat (one of the two new ones or one from the PHB, idk which) OR you can sub in a dark gift in place of your origin feat. I doubt any of the 4 have a mandated dark gift va just “pick one.”

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

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.

This is addressed in the book. He is not a Darklord in the traditional sense. Instead, Ravenloft is like a prison. He slumbers there, and the domain is shaped by his dreams, but the Dark Powers know they cannot actually contain him so they keep him asleep.

Also, the digital version of Horrors Within unlocks the Artificer in the character builder for Beyond, but the full class is not reprinted in the book. So we can put that argument to bed also.

But because they are online exclusive they can easily be “fixed” in print by some editing. Wouldn’t be the first time they released something online, then changed it for the print version (see Wayfarers Guide to Eberron)

Whatever the “villain UA” book is might reprint Astarion material, but I didn’t expect much of it here. I do expect that if the feat chain paths for Death Knight and Lich make it, taking the Vampire feats from Astarion’s and making them into a chain for Vampire makes a lot of sense.

Always felt like this was the obvious outcome.

The Exandria books were also co-produced, but WotC has them labeled as 3rd-party (or partnered) products on D&D Beyond. Again, this is not a dig at the product. Plenty of great 3rd-party or partnered content out there, and if WotC had no plans for an internal Greyhawk product then there is no...

So based on this, sounds like the project is a 3rd party project with WotCs blessing more than a direct WotC product? More akin to Ed Greenwoods Dalelands books he’s making than the Ravenloft and Arcana books WotC is making. Not saying that to put any of the projects down. Just clarifying what...

Also of note, there’s enough feats in the Astarion product to make a “Vampire” feat path already. Maybe whatever book this is for will reprint those with slight updates to match that formatting. Now I need a Werewolf path.

So… the secret Season of Champions book is a Good vs Evil player options book, right? Champions of Justice vs Champions of Tyranny type thing? Just spitballing.
