Old tired take: dwarven women should have beards. hot wired take: you from solamnia? Get ready for MUSTACHE CITY MY DUDES

Now that I think about it, Jean Rabe added in a kobold to their series when previously they had never been mentioned in a novel before

that’s the beauty of using a setting book since the first one came out: you’ve always had the choice to have feywild drow and orcs pop in!

Yeah I mean they already have. The 3e book and the novels coming out after war of souls and such already ensured that.

I hope so. I hate running them. I’m going through war of the lance with a group and when I started to explain what they were, my skin started to crawl.

I don’t take it as a background meaning that you passed the test of high sorcery (the reason to visit the tower), just that you trained using their methods. Actually re reading the background it even implies you haven’t taken the tests yet, just trained. In Soulforge, Raistlin is tower method...

I thought about this and then I realized with the way the tower of high sorcery is basically the only legal way to play a mage in the setting, you would end up basically saying “only these three subclasses are accepted in the setting and if you are anything else, you are a renegade”. Having them...

In 3e it was a use of the deception skill that Kender got a significant bonus to. I like it and I’ve kept it in my games as a houserule

Creating something that can be only used/only makes sense in one place is exclusivity, not creativity. This is PURELY my opinion. I find race and class options are akin to creating pigments one can use in the rich canvas that is their game. What you do with the pigment in yours is the creative...

I heard them described as the cockroaches of the setting. Intended to be a comedic race of pathetic dwarves, it’s an extremely problematic portrayal.

True! That two moon cleric is bonkers.

Gulley dwarves.

I like it, sets them a part from other wizards in the setting. Also helps reinforce the setting idea that wizards of high sorcery ARE clerics of the moons

You’ll also note the adept feats ask for the High Sorcery Initiate feat, which isn’t the name :D

Roman legion on the sea, basically.

I don’t disagree thought I rather liked the Graygem story. But yeah, Dragonlance gnomes and Kender are sort of just recipes for making people hate playing with you 🤣

I was trying to think through this myself. Sage = Keen Mind? Well wait feats that add bonuses to ability scores seem not great. Hm.

That weirded me out too. I am wondering if the book will include moon rules in general (this was the case in the 3.5 book) and then the moon sorcerer is special in that they basically can just choose whatever phase they want

Look I know what you meant. I do. but now I am unreasonably excited about fear chains. You did this to me.

Like rules for adding cannons and guns due to those solamnia books they wrote?
