It might be worth mentioning the for a time The Explorers Guide to Wildemount was the best-written 5e setting book available on DDB.

Saurials, pterafolk, yuan-ti, dragonflesh grafters, draconians, kobolds, half dragons, etc etc, etc. The Realms is full of reptilian humanoids, and the chances are an average person wouldn't be able to identify any of them.

I had fun with these, but then I like maths! I did stat a speeder bike with 9G acceleration. I think this was the first issue of White Dwarf I bought myself, rather than reading someone else's back issues.

"Hunters Mark Class" at least has a meaning. Everyone knows Ranger should be a background not a class (Aragon was a paladin).

I'm not sure how the writing would indicate that. It doesn't say that the people talk loudly, don't queue or apologise when they bump into someone! If I'm running an NPC from Waterdeep, they are going to behave like a British person. Although for some reason I gave Luskans faux-Russian accents...

Cavalier - this is one that could actually be a pet class - take the dragon stuf from PDK and refluff it as a horse (or generic mount of the player's choice). The Cavalier in Pathfinder works like that. Then make a separate specialist defensive fighter subclass.

If WotC is determined to redo Drunken Master*, then they could think about what it was originally - someone who pretends to be drunk for comedy. Thus, they could ditch the alchemical stuff, and call the subclass Clown. Mime or Way of the Slapstick are other options. *I've never seen one...

People do some really irrational stuff. It’s no more irrational than people killing themselves because they believe god told them to do it.

I think it would make more sense for the abilities to be classed by storm type rather than terrain. So Sandstorm, thunderstorm and blizzard. And they should all impede vision.

Probably both. They are not going to add a new core class then force people to buy a setting they may have no interest in in order to get it.

I mean, or you could just play a paladin…

You personally hating it doesn’t make it bad.

EK with Cleric Initiate.

There was a drug fuelled monk in Pillars of Eternity, but it was called something setting-specific like Naspaca. Stoner Monk?

The fix everything that remains part or the 2025 rules on the technicality of not having an updated version book*. *May not be the actual title.

I’m just agreeing with most of the other posters - it has zero unique selling points. It just does generic well. It’s a little more modern than Greyhawk and FR, but that’s more vibe than anything tangible, and it’s not more modern than Eberron, Golarion or Netir Vale. I’m pretty sure someone...

Personally, I think they should have just said 4e FR never happened, because all that FR stuff was absolutely terrible*. Attempting to integrate it just makes everyone unhappy. *and I mean objectively. I’ve never been one for setting purity, my game, my setting, even if I use something...

BG3 also had a bunch of doppelgängers, not all of whom were killed.

D&D does though. Conan has Atlantis and lost civilisations capable of building megastructures. The Forgotten Realms is quite unusual in that it’s main lost civilisation was magic based rather than tech based. The technology level of Numanor isn’t spelled out, but the navy it sends to attack...

Point: those tropes (at least with regards to things like how people dressed) were not specifically US. The tropes were the same in the UK and elsewhere. The existence of extensive farmland around Baldur’s Gate and the like has long been assumed. And not all European cities were built like that...
