I hope so. There were a lot of things that I didn't like about post Summer of Chaos, but the War of Souls was the worst.

So, like they were in 1st and 2nd edition...no different. Just like Humans, Elves, Dwarves, and Halflings.

Not really. I think maybe there were a couple of short stories, but nothing really descriptive other than the Second Generation book.

Oh, it gets better (if you can call it that). Big, gigantic alien dragons from another world take over Ansalon, magic goes bye bye, so then Palin Majere starts learning how to use the ambient magic of the world, multiclassing into a Sorcerer. Goldmoon finds a new magic called the Magic of the...

Ye Gods!! I remember that! I also remember thinking "...whut?" at the time when I was reading the module and prepping it.

The Ogres, after the Summer of Chaos, began looking for a way to return to their former beauty and glory. An ogre sorcerer discovered a ritual that allowed them to do that, creating the Ogre Titans. I am particularly fond of Fireshadows...very scary undead creatures. Can anyone say Death...

No clue. Looking for new angles on things? The Feywild hasn't been explored that much, so I think they just wanted to do something different. Unfortunately, it completely threw out the origin and lore of the Kender species. I could see setting it after the Summer of Chaos and allowing that...

Very true, but I think this was changed after the Summer of Chaos.

I always found it to be subtle part of the lore that it was Takhisis who was influencing the Kingpriest. During the time of Huma, one of the conditions for removing the Dragonlance from her chest was that she was to leave the world "for as long as the world was whole." I think she manipulated...

Dragonlance was always centered on the concept of the balance between good and evil, law and chaos. They were the world where bad guys always wore black, etc. That didn't bother me much because it was kind of meant to be a pulp fantasy world. The stories were focused on what happens if there was...

You know what I don't get is people saying that this version of the Kender is a "huge change" from how they are presented in previous editions. It's not. They are mechanically almost identical to their previous edition incarnation. The only thing that WotC did was remove problematic language...

Wonder if they are going to add the Moons and their influence on magic. I am not talking about the Moon Sorcerer, I'm talking about the increase/decrease in spell power from the moon phases.

Which shows that these feats are very strong...arguably almost too strong. I will wait to see how they revise/finalize it. But I don't think these are balanced well...my opinion, of course. Edit: Case in point. The Martial Adept feat...are these feats stronger than Martial Adept?

If you are playing a Dragonlance campaign and running a Battlemaster, of course. Non KoS battlemasters are losing out on a major benefit.

If it's for Boo, then I must consider it.

My point was that I take pause when there are feats that seem too good. These feats make it almost imperative to play a KoS if you're a Battlemaster.

I was really hoping this wouldn't turn into an edition war...sigh

I don't think they did in the previous version either. The KoS did, though. I liked the Moon Sorcerer OK, though I think their spell list could have used a little revision. Otherwise, it was fine.

The same could be applied to the Summer of Chaos era and the Knights of Takhisis. A dark paladin with battlemaster maneuvers would be frightening.

Doesn't bother me at all. Generic? Yes, but playable.
