In this case, I wouldn't allow it a because it would be gaining the benefit of commanding it in combat without the action cost of commanding it in combat. It's trying to game the system Something else might work "If you see something attack me, then go to Valeros the fighter" might be more fair...

A couple LONG sentences That come at the cost of other sentences, since there's only so much page space And when my players are waiting and I'm in the middle of the game you bet I don't wanna read a paragraph An entire race? Mandated with no variance? Probably not Call them out as "typically...

It's a separate being with its own knowledge You can command it to TRY anything, but it's not going to be able to do anything physically impossible A cat can't be commanded to fly And it probably won't succeed at doing anything that requires skill. Like picking a lock Other commands like...

People have been asking for products like that for a while With that price, you can see why it wasn't practical before

It tells me that they're evil (selfish and less concerned with others or morality) and also chaotic (disorganized or purposely opposed to societal rules and laws). That they're treacherous and untrustworthy It tells me that they're not lawful evil, which might be honorable or have a code of...

OSR be all about light mechanics and rules with DM fiat that challenges the player not the character Don't see how there needs to be a single opposite. OSR could be at the center of a scale with a rules heavy opposite on the left and a narrative manipulation game on the right Pathfinder on one...

Hard not to read into the Pathfinder dip Cyberpunk is prolly doing well, but that single book doing better than ALL of Pathfinder without a drop? That seems unlikely But Pathfinder 2nd Ed is prolly dependent on new books. I don't see it having the same constant flow of new players They had a...

Agreed Like alignment as an option. It's efficient for describing common morality. A common two-word tag we all know

Simple errors denote a lack of attention to the details If I can't trust the authors to check the capitalization, can I trust them to properly balance a race or subclass?

Could prolly have used an editing pass with someone familiar with the DnD Style Guide Lots of instances ability scores not capitalized and references to "history" instead of "Intelligence (History)" Or an editing pass altogether. Dimernesti can turn into a sea otter several times per day. What...

That's not a bad idea They might have worked well as "prestige classes" That design didn't work in 3rd Ed but they could do it better now. It was rejected several years ago, but that was before the audience shifted There's the faction bonuses in Ravnica, Dark Gifts in Ravenloft, piety and...

Kudos to them It was a neat idea I would like a future edition to have set levels of subclasses for generic subclasses But it was awkward. And didn't always match the character you wanted. And didn't include classes like the artificer Prolly better as feats

Different members of the team TASHA'S CAULDRON was the rules team and Jeremy Crawford. This is the adventure team with Chris Perkins And while Perkins likes his horror he's also a fan of goofball humor and bad jokes. And there's probably an army of freelancers doing encounters and sections of...

But unlike Ravenloft there's no established campaign setting with a dozen other Domains of Delight It's Ravenloft if all we have is Barovia And Barovia was fairly representational. There wasn't many Domains of Dread that were less horrible and many that were worse If there are more Domains of...

From the previews, we're only getting the one Domain of Delight. That's being sold as representational They're not going to do a second Feywild adventure Domains of Delight might as well be the only feature

Now I'm just becoming apathetic But WizCo is saving me a bundle of $$$

Not feeling it Feels like they decided to make the Feywild the opposite of Ravenloft. But domains of dread are not the only feature of the Shadowfell It feels very Disney. Very sanitized fairy tales When I think of fey, I go to Seanan McGuire, Jim Butcher, Sussanna Clarke and Neil Gaiman...

How long until bitter grognards complain about DnD becoming sanitized with an all-ages adventure?

I think you mean there's the right version of Vecna and the one you cut off and replace

If the response to the subclasses wasn't positive and they cut that content, I'd applaud WizCo Too often it feels like all the options get included because they wrote the minimum number rather than making a few extras and only picking the best I'd have liked a few more draconic options for them...
