Multiversal handwaving so they can have different Tiamats (Takhisis, GH Tiamat, and FR Tiamat) and different Tashas. Don't they say that is how it is in Fizban's?

Do we really just want a "Deities & Demigods & Daemons" / "Elminster Presents: Epic Entities of Eternity" book that give us all those stats for Epic threats?

Lady Vol is the big undead lich baddy of Eberron. Maybe she gets some screen time?

The video shows a picture in the Rod of Seven Parts of 7 spheres... with an ascending numbers of stars in them. There are also 7 dragon balls... spheres with an ascending numbers of stars in each of them. Koinkidink?

I will be using 2024 as the Core Rules, but I will keep the 2014 books as well, using them as any other sourcebook resources. For instance: I may still use the Personality Traits, Ideals, Bonds, and Flaws if a player wants that kind of RP guidance. I may allow a player to use an older version...

Embracing tradition and avoiding change sounds Lawful and resistant to outside influences. All allies within 60 feet of you (including yourself) and worship your god, are immune to charm and fear effects, have "Immutable Form" (they are immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form)...

I will say that as a DM, if I really don't like the old druid's ablative hit points from Wildshape, or the multi-smite of multi-class paladins, I may choose to ban them from my tables if there is an option that I feel is better balanced for my table. Yeah, some design is busted in some folks'...

It's not just one version that universally falls by the wayside. DMs can stick with 2014 only and not pick up the 2024 books, or choose to drop the 2014 books and allow only the 2024 books, or allow them both. They are both valid sourcebooks. They both have character creation, and can be used or...

Paladins in my campaigns have always been dipped into by caster classes so they get way more smite slots. Because they are non-actions, they can use all these slots to deal smite damage on every attack and opportunity attack, and they can still use bonus action spells or abilities if they want...

I like that they are a suite of spells that are always prepared, and that it is fine that the spells require a bonus action (as opposed to a reaction or something). They just need to make sure they are worth the bonus action. I'm fine with having to choose between a bonus action combat buff and...

I disagree about that. Subclass should not something that is easily multiclass-dippable. They've shown that levels 1 and 2 can provide decent, level-appropriate abilities, like the Cleric and Druid being able to choose their Divine Order or Primal Order at level 1. Not even Sorcerer needs a...

So... every book since 4E. Erase 16 years of lore, all of the 5E storyline events... No more BG3? Nah. I'm good. :) People can use the old lore all they want. Those books already exist. People who didn't adopt the timeline jump have already written their own stories over 16 years. A rewind...

Sooo... those people want another wipe and start over?

I don't think optional/alternative rules have a place in the PH. The PH should be designed as a Player reference that can be trusted and relied upon as a resource, for the most part. I have never been able to run a 5E game without feats because feats are in the PH and every player wants those...

I literally just watched that episode of Voyager only 1 hour ago at lunchtime. The Year of Hell: Part One. Looking forward to Part Two tonight. But I don't think there will be timey-wimey results if the Heroes win (and the canon going forward will assume that they will). But if the Heroes lose...

Recreating the universe in his own image destroys the old universe. They are not mutually exclusive results.

There are lots of abilities that cannot be "taught." Not only can a Wizard not learn every spell in existence (there are arcane spells that are bard or warlock-specific, for example), but also not every magical ability is a spell. There are people who want every ability to be a quantifiable...

And some people would complain that doing so makes it a new edition. ;)

I 100% think that they won't be focusing on the older SRDs until after the revised books are released. It's a business decision that I think makes sense. They need to focus on the flagship release. They can still fudge it up if they call it in and half-ass it by spreading their staffing...

Every class. At least 1 subclass per class (but I hope for all subclasses) If they only include the Fiend Patron warlock, it doesn't make sense to add the Invocations intended for other Patrons. Every species. Every background. Every 1st level feat that is granted by a background. A smattering...
