I wish Beyond still had the à la carte options. I can't see me dropping that much cash for material I'll mostly not use.

I don't really consider those the same theme, but I draw a thicker line between gods and celestials than a lot of people here seem to.

It's kind of interesting that they settled on the thing that 5e Eberron did to give Dwarves a hook in the setting, "we fight aberrations".

I'm pretty sure those are the ones Ed Greenwood used in his home game. Grumbar et al, are the copyright safe versions, like Ilmater and Nobanion.

I use a modified version of of the 5e Blue Rose Rhydan species. I call them Bremyn, after the Bremen Town Musicians.

My favorite of the Greco-Egyptian syncretics is Hermanubis.

Interesting find! Depending on what issue that was, it was written by either Joe Gill (co-creator of Peacemaker) or Denny O'Neil (legendary Batman writer).

My thought has been that you get at-will powers, that can be boosted by expending a slot. Each at-will has a list of the effects that you can use by expending a certain level slot. No worrying about what spells are on your list.

Despite its issues, I still have a soft spot for Maztica. It was at least trying to do something different in the fantasy space, and it sparked memories of The Mysterious Cities of Gold for me. I still think Eagle and Jaguar warriors, and Pluma and Hishna artisans are very evocative class ideas.

Plus, the fact that you can't play a high level moon druid with just the PHB makes it failure theater.

I'm actually fine with spell slots, they're just discreet quanta of power points. It's the individual spells that I find to be unthematic dross.

Maybe I'm just surly that they didn't even attempt a second pass at template wild shape, but they keep rolling this turd out. 😅

Yeah, looks like they;re committed to doing a Psi-mage. I'll still down vote the spell related stuff at survey time, because I'm not going to lie and say 💩 doesn't stink.

Throw in a handful of feats and spells, and I'd be Strixhaven minus the adventure.
