Yeah, thst is how I would want to tun this, too...however, that could be a very nasty surprise, even a TPK depending on how much it catches the players off.

I appreciate the mix of standard "go into the Dungeon amd kill the Dragon" models with weird creative choices here: the latter are kind of necessary to get the adventurers at cross purposes with the Metallic Dragons.

As a Fincher movie, yes, it is lacking. As an Aliens franchise piece...it is miserable. But as a sci-fi horrro movie? Pretty drcent, with some very interesting elements. One of the best things I ever saw in theatres. It made sense of my own lived experience as an early adaptor of Facebook, and...

The alt cover is really a beautiful addition to the shelf.

So, picked up the alt cover last night at my FLGS, have a cursory look through. Love the art. Appreciate the little history sections. I love the setup of the Black Dragon Adventure

I like that Dragon Delves shows the evolution and history of the visual design for all ten archetypes: really highlights that there has always been some variety in the depictions, even with common theeads.

Yeah, Monk or Ranger Subclasses would need a lot of rethinking.

Yup, exactly, that's the fun.

I tell you what, this theory does seem more and more plausible. I wonder if we might see a boatload of new Level 1 Feats and Backgrounds, too...

Any pre-written Adventure is going to have some failure points thst cabn go sideways: failing forwards through thst is a bug part of the magic thst makes TTRPGs different from computer fames for me.

Thinking about if they add all of these (except maybe the War Wizard), riffing on what was posted earlier by @GarrettKP it would take the following to bring each Class to 4 in a theoretical Everything book: Artificer: 3 Barbarian: 2 Bard: 1 Cleric: 1 Druid: 4 Fighter: 1 Monk: 1 Paladin: 2...

Well, interesting place to start is to look at what is in Xanathar's that has not been updated yet: Barbarian: Path of the Ancestral Guardian, Path of the Storm Herald, Path of the Zealot Bard: College of Glamour, College of Swords, College of Whispers Cleric: Forge Domain Druid: Circle of...

No, not really: as somebody who started with 3.x as a teenager, I have zero nostalgia for WotC approach back then.

The Horror may still be for something specific...we'll probavly start hearing about the October book soon, if it is still on.
