Abjuration 7 Divination 8 Illusion 11 I don't actually care anymore, lol. My two favorite ones are in the top three, and the third I like juuust fine. Nor did I necessarily vote according to which I actually want to win. ;)

Harsh DM speaking: What? Did you think being resurrected came with just some sort of physical punishment? Hahahahaha, no. Your soul is eternally bound to the deity who put forth the power to bring you back to life. You will belong to Them when you die. Moreover, you are now effectively geased in...

Umm, yeah. Every single digital book I own is mine, free and clear. The gaming ones are, yes, almost entirely PDFs. Sure. There are programs to convert them. But...I'm not sure why you expect a company to make their products in every digital format. Do you also expect them to print every book...

To be fair, the divination school is royally screwed up in that regard. For wizards, there's only one cantrip, all three of the 1st level spells are rituals (Comprehend Languages, Detect Magic, and Identify), there are three 2nd level spells and they're not super great to have on hand most of...

Yeah, even with an 8% dip from the previous quarter (people didn't like the newest Zendikar block that much at all, for some reason), sales are still really strong. The tournament scene is bigger than ever. Plus, people seem to really like the new Innistrad block quite a bit, meaning a likely...

Yeah, lol. This. People complain about wanting physical books, which is fine. But I would spend SO much more on D&D products if WotC offered fairly priced digital books, like pretty much every other company in the entire freaking world is now doing. Physical products for things can be nice, but...

Hmm. Interesting. I suspect the people saying Leeds is probably just retiring after a long tenure, and finally reaching roughly retirement age with a slew of successful gigs, are exactly right. And hiring Cocks seems to me like a two-for-one. Not only is this likely a response to the digital...

Not to mention, defensive magic as a whole is a pretty standard trope. From Harry Potter's entire classes in Defense Against the Dark Arts in recent times, to classic protective runes and wards in fiction, all the way back to the historic use of charms and tokens to defend against evil spirits...

That's one reason I specifically wish to see artificer. I don't want artificer to cast spells. I would prefer it if they actually had to take levels in some caster class to truly cast spells. Instead, making various items depending on the subclass would be new and novel. Here is a class that...

Pssshhh, clearly the illusion school was working, since you did not see that it was (also) the highest scorer... ;)

Also put a vote in for artificer with subclasses for any variety of someone who makes objects to use. Alchemists, who makes all sorts of spell-potions, and transmutes substances. Traditional artificer that creates magic items, or temporarily enhances items instead of casting spells...
