I'm reasonably sure Arcane Eruption and Sorcerous Burst (the cantrip) will make it into the PHB. Less confident about Sorcerous Vitality, but I liked it. That said ... I did mean that I hope these aren't the only ones.

I'd like animalfolk PC stats and Calamity beast stat blocks, some actual crunch, but you're right, there's a lot of stuff already here.

So, if you want Eldritch Blast, you're gonna have to take a level of Warlock. No one is sniping Divine Smite from the Paladin. Hopefully the Sorcerers will be getting some more unique spells given that their spell list is also now protected. Overall, I do think this is better, in that it's...

First Planeswalker Guide article is up: Planeswalker's Guide to Bloomburrow, Part 1 There's a lot here to like and a lot here that makes me interested in a potential campaign here. The Calamity Beasts are practically Kaiju in stature to the animal folk, there's a lot of interesting areas to put...

The MTG subreddit is already comparing the Jeskai commander with Alan-A-Dale.

My desire for a pet class is more the pokemon trainer or such, so I don't think the Ranger should have an animal companion by default. I like that the Beastmaster exists, and I want other classes to have access to summonable allies, but for me, I do think that a Summoner class is missing from 5e.

Ah ... you seek meaning. Then listen to the music, not the song.

Today I realized I hadn't bothered to set an Avatar. Username: One of my favourite PCs, a Changeling Sorcerer from a 3.5 Eberron Campaign. They masqueraded as a Wizard, with a "spellbook" which was just a encoded diary. In fact, they start the campaign having just left Morgrave University...

Okay, this threaded the needle. I was a little worried that whoever effed up would come across as unreasonable, but ... this felt right ... or it felt like a tragedy of characters doing the best they can with the information they had and still messing up.

Hopefully. Dunno if Arcane Eruption makes it to the PHB, but I liked it from UA.

Or engage with material that transforms or iterates on her work. It's like I'm more interested in post Lovecraft cosmic horror than Lovecraft in general. One I'd recommend is the Simon Snow trilogy by Rainbow Rowell that's a very obvious Harry/Draco fanfic.

Rowling and Orson Scott Card are the two, for me, that deserve special consideration, because they are alive, unrepentant and ... at least in Rowling's case (haven't kept up with Card), actively engaged in continuing their attacks on the trans and queer communities. Peter David is another that...

As written in UA7 where it was introduced, no. I wouldn't allow it as a DM

I tend to think that Wizards cast spells as if they are formulae, Sorcerers like improv (poetry, Jazz, whatever)

I'm glad we got "spell rage", ie Innate Sorcery to stay, I think it does a lot to strengthen the core gameplay of the Sorcerer. I was happy with most of the last UA, so I'm looking forward to seeing my favourite class get a solid glowup.

I'm pleased with the changes, the last UA was pretty good.

Calling him a "product of his era" seems to downplay the ... "harm" feels like an inaccurate word, but I'm going with it ... that was caused by it. Current DnD culture is still grappling with how much racism and sexism is baked into its past. We don't have to excoriate Gygax, but sexism didn't...

I'd be fine with it. It does mean lineages that I like to play for mechanical reasons (Changelings, Dragonborn, Faerie, for example) wouldn't be played, but that's about it.

TBH, I've already noted an increase in monster lethality. I mainly run pre-published adventures, and ran Light of Xaryxis twice, noticing there are some new monsters with the capability for 1-hit KOs and just a lot of the newer monsters were punching way better than their CR equivalents in the...
