Hmm... Still no video link...that I can find, at least. Maybe they forgot to set up the premier.

Just as a general heads-up, I have an appointment that will delay any breakdown for tomorrow's dragon video, and given the fact that it will presumably be much more art design focused and less mechanical, I'm not sure me doing one would be of much use. I'll still post a video link as soon as I...

Logos - the Words of Creation.

With the usual caveat of it being a potentially out of date source, here's the Lore Bard's Magical Discoveries feature from UA6:

No idea whether it's changed for the final version, but here's the bard's Spellcasting feature from UA6: The verbiage used is "prepare" (which I think is being standardized across all spellcasters), but they function very much like traditional "spells known" casters.

Sensible way to go about it. I talk about ancient baatorians because I'm a planar lore junkie, but in-universe, they've been gone so long that only the most ancient planar entities have ever even heard of them, and the few places they're implied to still exist are basically treated like...

A cursory search of Beyond shows that Vicious Mockery and Power Word Heal are bard exclusive, at least as of the 2014 ruleset. Hardly a comprehensive list, but a couple of examples from opposite ends of the spell level spectrum, so that would imply bards will probably have some spells unique to...

That was from when they were experimenting with unified spell lists and the bard chose one (Arcane, Divine, or Primal) to start with. They've since reverted that, so Bard has a distinct class spell list again now, which would presumably include anything they want kept "bard exclusive"...

Like I said, a bit unclear in the video, but going by UA6, it was "AND".

Admittedly a bit unclear in the video, but going by the version of Magical Secrets in UA6, it seems to imply that once you hit level 10, your bard spell list expands to include everything from the cleric, druid, and wizard spell lists.

3.5e Elder Evils, combined with more general knowledge of what ancient baatorians are/were from 2e Planescape-era stuff. Don't have Infinite Staircase yet, so can't personally attest to what's in it, but I think I've heard that Zargon's status as an ancient baatorian was retained.

Zargon is an ancient baatorian, and implied to have been their greatest leader. His "people" may have been (seemingly) driven to extinction eons ago, but he's effectively the "rightful" ruler of Baator that the baatezu overthrew back in planar pre-history. So even if the threat of him making a...

And one of the things I've suggested is to no longer give deities alignment in the vast majority of cases, which would solve that issue handily and create room for more nuanced divine characterizations beyond "Well, it says they're LG, so I guess they'd do X." But again, I've got zero pull over...

Unless they're being positioned as the big bad for an adventure module, no god has been given stats in 5e, and even then they're always deliberately weakened from their full power and "killing" them only delays their eventual return. There's no reason Osiris, Zeus, Thor, etc. need stats any...

I mean, going down that road is opening a pretty monumental can of worms (Gestures vaguely at most of the archdevils, more than a few demon lords, and large swathes of the Great Wheel cosmology, to say nothing of the Monster Manual), but hey, it's not like I can convince them to do otherwise...
