Graz'zt is incapable of giving High Fives. But a High Six hasn't gone too well given that most don't have six fingers like Graz'zt does.

So one of the promotional art pieces show 5 characters, I'm guessing this is supposed to be the Artificer subclasses (though not necessarily the pictures for the featured subclass art, as it lacks D&D species diversity given that 4 out of 5 of them look Human). I think it's quite clear which...

Interestingly enough Strixhaven doesn't have campaign prereqs for it's Strixhaven Initiate feats either, but I'd assume one would need to be a student to get one, which would most likely be in those school backgrounds. As Strixhaven was perhaps the second instance of the 2024 type backgrounds...

Not completely, the PHB says "12+" inside the cover, and it's roughly the age range of D&D for the last few decades as well. Though there's been non-core books directed for younger audiences.

Animal Lords in the new Monster Manual says they have "subtle animal-like feature" when they appear Humanoid. But the artist definitely didn't get that memo, and made them appear as full-on furries. An example of an Animal Lord in 5e with more subtle animal-like features, is the Cat Lord that...

DiTerlizzi drew them as very masculine, but every edition after they're more androgynous in appearance.

The weird thing about Banshees is that somehow I associate them with some guy named Sean Cassidy...

They stuck with a mostly masculine representation of the Deva, even though they look more androgynous than before, a creature that was once explicitly described as appearing like a Human male in previous editions. The Planetar you could say is more non-binary in appearance as they do look like...

Thinking about other part snake beings that have been mostly depicted as female, I looked up the 2e entry for the Lillendi a Celestial that hasn't appeared with a creature statblock in 5e yet, despite appearing in some 5e art. It actually said that there are Lillendi male humanoid torsos, except...

I'd like to see an Artificer create a Repeating Musket on a desert island that's better than that bamboo tube that Captain Kirk used to fight that Gorn.

One thing I'm curious about with Goblins in Eberron is are they going to attempt to explain the Fey part of the Goblins in core 2024 D&D assumptions? Was the Dhakaani Empire formed by ancient refugees from Thelanis?

So maybe one use of Circle Casting would be to raise the Spell Slot level of a spell being used, based on the number of participants.

I've always felt that it was the Goblins who use guns. It might be a more recent invention that Goblins started to use or guns were something that the ancient Dhakaani used and it's something that was only recently uncovered. But that was what I felt about their place in Eberron.

-No more bedrolls that disappear while you're sleeping on one, that's a big improvement! -The Cartographer is not a first idea of what I would have for an Artificer, but seeing as it's the 5th subclass it seems like a good one at first glance. -I guess they'll probably want to use Expeditious...

There's 2 paragraphs from Fiends: Faces of Evil written in 1997, about the Tanar'ri which probably applies to Obyriths and other types of Demons. Basically it says they take genders as they will, some days male, some days female or neither or both. But tend to stick with a choice as later on...

I don't care about the Purple Dragon Knight, as I don't really care about FR lore even though it's quite fluid to begin with, it was a horrible subclass to begin with it needed some sort of change. I do care more about the Marilith, as that's something along the lines of Scarab Lamias that I'm...

Faces of Evil says that Demons (well specifically the Tanar'ri but probably the same applies to Obyriths and other types of Demons) can change their sex according to their will. Mostly left out in the details in later editions, except for bringing it up with Succubi (and now Incubi) even though...

I don't how someone thinks of Cruxshadows with the Marilith, I wouldn't associate with their song Marilyn My Bitterness. If there's any song I'd associate more with the Marilith, it would probably be something like "Maha Kali" or "Dark Mother Divine" off of the Reinkaos album from Dissection.

I think it's really annoying the 2014 version when you as a PC lose a spell slot. Some players might feel they're being punished by the DM who wants to neutralize all of the PC's spells. Especially seeing as how the 2024 Lich can cast Counterspell at will.

I think it's a problem that in the really old editions of D&D they used some of Moorcock's influence, but never completely got what Moorcock was trying to say the Law and Chaos, until the 3 alignments became the 9 alignments.
