Chris Metzen, huh? Looking forward to reading a whole chapter of lore on the setting's legendary hero who was tragically ::dramatic music::....corrupted!

Are there just the two subclasses or are those the only ones that have been leaked/announced yet?

A dhampir monk who always has advantage on unarmed strikes or with monk weapon fangs whenever bloodied could be powerful. Slap on a source of temporary HP and go to town.

Dungeons and Dragons 5e: Turbo Championship Edition. Changes to races, more fully integrating the new proficiency bonus approach, revisting some of the original material (e.g. sorcerer subclasses with no bonus spells), clean-up on aisle Monk, etc. Fully comptaible with existing material since...

Yes, it screams Jedi and in fact using a big sword is mechanically superior. Just trying to understand why they did it this way.

I could see role protection being a concern but as I said, the style works with battle master maneuvers so you can pretty easily replicate something like the open-hand monk subclass with the right choices.

Psionic Strike. You can propel your weapons with psionic force. Once on each of your turns, immediately after you hit a target within 30 feet of you with an attack and deal damage to it with a weapon... Unarmed strikes are considered melee weapon attacks but the unarmed strike is not itself a...

Have you read Stephen King's Graveyard Shift? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graveyard_Shift_(short_story)

I've been playing D&D for 30 years. During that time I have played dozens of humans/dwarves/elves/haflings. I have also absorbed countless books and video games about humans/dwarves/elves/halflings. I am recently having fun trying out some dragonpeople, lizardpeople, catpeople, and birdpeople...

I don't really understand this trope because it is generally accompanied by the individualized intelligence (e..g some humanoid speciesor humans) very quickly recognizing and pointing that the alien species is apparently a hive mind, very different from us, etc,. etc. Presumably the hive mind...

Satyr and Yuan-ti pureblood have advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects. Lizardfolk have natural armor and some cool features but previously had suboptimal stat distribution. I also think the aasimar and the genasi are sufficiently flavorful that the additional...

Oh Planecsape is very present in Tasha's. Note for example the Ancient Being Patron suggested at the top of page 87.

Oh different direction...I thought you were suggesting something like the Guild having an entity magically imprisoned in chamber belo and hooked up to an apparatus of sorts, with students drawing (warlock-like) abilities from the power the Guild is draining from it.

Armorer losing shield and the defensive field nerf were quite the bummer. The new infusions and the early access homonculus were nice though.

Well, paladins didn't end up with Spirit Guardians but Tasha's was pretty good for the class overall with some nice items, the Holy Warrior fighting style and even some half-feats worth taking. Who doesn't want misty step and hideous laughter added to their spell list?
