So for me this is what levels 1 and 2 are for, by level 3 or even by level 9 at the latest you have entered into some pact with your patron. Maybe that book starts sending you messages in its blank page, you have dreams of your patron wanting you to be in service, you have a little voice in the...

I only have 2 horror stories between the DM and his players, one in d&d and one on Warhammer. On Warhammer the DM put us in a tomb with an unkillable enemy from which there was no escape. We were later told that their was a secret chamber which by the time we entered the tomb was sealed and...

So if I want to play a fiend type of sorcerer using the warlock the only thing that do not make thematic sense are pact of the blade, tome and chain. The patron works as my bloodline, the invocations work as demonic powers I gain as I get more powerful.

I feel that most of the disagreement is that it can feel like the player is being penalized for a class choice and not a back story. If you require other people to find people to train them before they can level or bring in the wizards old master who taught them to control their story then it is...

While to a point I agree with you that a character should be invested in their back story a class boils down to just a set of mechanics that can be refluffed to suit your desires. I have seen and have used the Warlock to represent magical experimental gone ary, (grafts, magitech, ) to represent...

Yeah something like that. They could still be individual setting releases but with this following so close on the UA of horror themed classes has started me thinking that they might be in one book and not separate releases.

As much as I am hoping for setting books I feel that they could take this one, the horror ua and maybe a new draconic is and put those into one book to give people options for other settings. Imagine a chapter for Dragonlance, a chapter for Ravenloft, a chapter for Darksun might be an easier...

Honestly I am enjoying all of these options. The sorcerer is a great option for anyone who wants a darker more necromantic option. The gladiator gives you some options like the battle master while feeling unique and the patron works perfectly for any draconic or opposing power as your patron...

I completely agree with you but since Hasbro bought D&D beyond they don't really do "cheeper" and when they do it is usually by giving you what other companies give out for free with purchase (PDF).

So they give incentives to get people to buy the physical books but not to digital. The $75 in savings you get by buying the physical bundle and not everything separate is the extra cost they charge for the PDFs of the two main books and the price of the digital maps and dice. It is not over...

So I have been a huge fan of M&M since it's inception. While I do not enjoy paying for a play test game in this case I didn't mind due to knowing their financial difficulties at the moment. More feats add some extra options for more street level or skill based character who do not want to buy...

So the dhampir and the feats and background that go with it will probably be put into a horror themed book when they do one like a Ravenloft supplement. The other 7 races will probably go into a book eventually but we don't know when that might happen. The other 7 races will get rounded up into...

The three additional supplements will introduce 8 races, 3 backgrounds and 18 feats. All of the backgrounds and frats are in the Astarion book along with the dhampire race. The other 7 races we do not know but will probably be in the 3rd unlisted book. The middle book is an adventure

Regardless of the lore change I know a few people, myself included that while they liked the idea of a dragon rider they felt that the pdk was not the best choice for where to put that. I wanted a dedicated dragon rider with an option of dragons that didn't care about leading and inspiring...

Part of me is expecting to see Tabaxi, Saurians, Genasi, also the three goblinod races, and Gith

They are not free the price is factored into the bundles that is a big difference

Eberron goblinoids are quite different from all other D&D goblinoids (fey focused) so I can understand why they might not put them in the Eberron book.

I am not disagreeing with you on most points just shocked at how exact it follows their assessment of them.

While I know that you respect Trentmonk this looks like it is exactly as I would imagine him, or Cody would fill out their survey almost to the letter.

Thank you for this breakdown, I bought all of the companion books as PDFs because I heard they had extra rules in them but after reading your post I was afraid they snuck even more rules into the adventure books. From what you have listed all of those rules are found in the companions so for...
