i’ll give the blog post to read tonight, but the other blog post from Keith from 2005, also mentions that they had the support of the keeper of the flame.

This post on WotC site by Mr. Baker himself seems to indicate that it was the main church that pushed the Purge, partly as a power play for the church itself, and while it lists "hundreds" of shifters dying, I had thought it was more widespread than that (the shifter deaths I mean).

Did you play with Mind Flayers, etc? Just curious as those are genuinely Lovecraftian and Psionic, but also kind of "core" D&D.

I guess if by offshoot you mean the entire Church?

Huh? Oh, you mean like how the Church of the Silver Flame in Eberron went on a genocidal rampage against Shifters and Lycanthropes throughout the continent of Khorvaire? That kind of religious terrorism?

You say this and then you crap on FR for intruding on Eberron. You obviously are not that well versed in FR lore or you'd know that there is a multiplicity of religious worldviews in the world of Faerun, not just the polytheism present. Even with that, I'd say you misrepresent the worship in...

Ok, I'm not going to play into your Norse digressions, sorry I brought them up. What about the Greek gods? They are much gods as the forgotten realm gods or greyhawk gods.

I'm going to raise your like for a love ;) Great data @Ashrym

And there we go! So the Creator of the setting tells you, "it's been this way the whole time", and your response is "5e designers ruined it!" still. So the Greek gods aren't gods? They are not omniscient or omnipresent. Neither are the Norse gods.

Good point. I agree mechanically that could be interesting.

I didn't say they would lose their position as the market leader. I said if they had a miss on their sales goals that they would have to answer for why. shrug When you have a formula that is working exceptionally well, why risk it on a gamble? I do think they'll put a full Psion out...

These ^ Also The Morrigan or really any of the Tuatha Dé Danann!

Monk makes sense from a disciplined/thematic standpoint. But man, you'd really have to ramp the "ki"/PSP to make it workable as a "magic" using class.

That book doesn't sell well and they have to answer to their bosses and their bosses have to answer to their bosses and so on up the Hasbro chain about why they didn't stick to the plan and fully vet something through the crowdsourced approval processes that UA represents. I know sales have...

I feel like the "spontaneity" and "inborn" nature of the sorcerer, between spells known and metamagic and upcasting fits my head canon for what a psion should look like more than the warlock. At the same time, Invocations are a good model for Psionic Sciences/Disciplines. I'm torn.

Yeah, the new lore on Mror holds is a big upgrade to the dwarves in Eberron!

I could see a Sha'ir on the Warlock Chassis with access rather to the wizard spell list.

Agreed'ish. It was panned. Artifiers as super distinct from wizards... eh. To me, they've always been and will always be just wizards who access magic in a different way. they've always cast spells and created magic items, just like wizards. They've just been better at the magic item part than...

That's a lot harsh.

They are related though, which is interesting that you can't see. Slow pace of releases means fewer releases in which to put things. Fewer things to include published design means fewer published designed. Which means they are going to focus on the design philosophy that have currently which...
