Absolutely agree. But Im not sold it would be as good a class as it looks on paper. There are three primary modes of class design: martial, caster, and gish. In general terms, most classes pick one mode and that is their loop. A caster or martial can become a gish (valor bard, ek) and a gish...

When that sorcerer came out, I was not a big fan of it's design AS THE SORCERER. I felt it was too narrow. You have to start out a caster and become a melee monster as you expend resources. That means every sorcerer starts a mage and ends a fighter. If you wanted to turn into a dragon* earlier...

It absolutely is. The three core books are the biggest books the make and they are still $50.00. All the supplement books from last year (Phandelver, Vecna, etc) were 60 for less pages. Forge of the Artificer is $30 ($20 digital) and only 192 pages. They intentionally underpriced the holy...

The difference is that $30 is going straight to WotC's pocket. (It's also a leader loss). That $15 is being split with MHP. They are getting $10 (the same as selling the PDF) and WotC is only getting $5. If they sold it any cheaper, WotC would get nothing OR Mage Hand would be selling at a loss.

Lamordia, Mordent, Kartakass and Har'Akir would be perfect deep dive material. Classic monster settings (Frankenstein, ghosts, werewolves, mummy). Darkon could get a whole book to itself it's so big!

If you want a little more tie in, [/ISPOILER]

From your lips to Strahd's ears.

The PDF on their site is $10 ($9 on sale right now). You're paying $10 to Mage Hand and an additional $5 for D&D Beyond integration. If you are already invested in DD&B, that's a decent enough upcharge for it being in the builder.

Does it work just fine with Renaissance only weapons? I have a player interested in playing a gunslinger in Eberron (see the thread here) and I don't intend to make firearms a big part of the setting.

Which was basically my point.

Well the timing on this is ubiquitous...

Yes. Crunchier like Pathfinder is crunchier. I wasn't disputing that it's still 5e, but it's 5e for people who want 5e to feel more Pathfinder-y.

My Uninformed opinion is that pick the one you feel will best support what you want to run. 2014 is a known quantity and if you plan on running modules, it's more than adequate. Level Up is good if you want a crunchy Pathfinder-y feel to 5e and don't mind doing a lot of prep work to convert and...

Tale as old as time unfortunately. I mean, WotC, Paizo, and KP have the largest potential pool of playtesters possible and sometimes they get it wrong, I can't imagine how smaller publishers with lofty goals do it!

Yeah. Sorry. Thanks for the offer.

I can ask if he's interested. Wouldn't be starting the game until August though.

Thank you. I'm glad to know my suspicions seem correct. I'll probably try to talk him out of it for no other reason than he's gonna probably get frustrated without the IK firearms to balance them out. If he's adamant about it though, at least it won't be breaking anything to let it.

That is a possibility. I just wanted to make sure before I did something silly that I wasn't missing anything.

Its funny that Sandy Pearlman (the longtime producer of BOC, and Black Sabbath for a while) wanted BOC to have this weird "Supervillains" theme. The band had alternative names (of which, only Buck Dharma survived) and were supposed to be in character. It was when neo Nazi's started showing up at...

So a friend of mine approached me about playing the Gunfighter Class from Iron Kingdoms: Requiem in an upcoming Eberron game. (Yes, I am fully aware about gun rarity in Eberron, but they're still in the PHB and thus allowed). I am using the 2024 rules for reference. My initial read of this...
