Yup forgot about that one being retrofitted into a Domain of Delight. Still, considering how main Domains of Dread there are, the feywid could use a lot more love.

I run them akin to Hiltons: clean, reliable, and with a certain corporate charm. Then again, I tend to run a lot of the Houseworks as that: reliable, dependable, and a bit boring. Orien rails get you where you need to go, but the scenery never changes. Jorasco hospitals will patch you up and...

I'm still not 100% we're getting a "... of everything" book and not a two more focused supplements (a horror/Ravenloft/undead book and a magic/arcane book). That said, we absolutely could use more love for primal classes.

It practically is in all but name, except for the pesky issue of who the Dark Lord would be... (That said, the last sets had diminishing returns. They've done three different blocks there at this point (roughly seven sets) and I think they are a little tapped out [heh] on ideas for it).

I like the twilight cleric. I'd like a version that isn't overpowered. They can rework-nerf that one if they like.

How many feywild domains can you name in D&D? Off the top of my head, there is the Summer Court, The frost one from 4e, and Prismeer from WBtW. What they did was take an already developed concept (Lorwyn/Shadowmoor) and add it to the Feywild as a new domain. It has nominal ties to Forgotten...

That's great when you are in your local neighborhood, but if you were traveling and had to stop for food, do you trust some random diner or McDonald's? McDonald's might not be top tier, but the menu and pricing is fairly consistent across the country and you know what they are going to offer...

In it's defense, the new Lamordia is intentionally steampunk with body horror.

It's funny we consider 100 years ago "modernistic" when it comes to Eberron's tone but less so when Ravenloft used heavy Victorian tones and that's also about 100 years ago..I guess that the gothic style and horror masks the fact many domains are very anachronistic. (It probably also explains...

I'm actually interested in seeing how they play that up in the art. The one thing I can say about older Eberron art was it didn't have a strong theme.. Well rather it did but that theme was WAR and his dungeon punk aesthetic. It's funny though; 1920s art nouveau is 100 years old. For context...

I think they said the dlcs are like $15 each ala carte

Wasn't expecting that, but it's exciting. Sigh... I'm more excited for the dlcs than the main book...

I tend to agree, as long as they are sufficient enough role coverage. There should be a fighter that is diverse enough to be a gladiator, knight or soldier, but it shouldn't try to encompass everything that makes attack rolls for a living.

Noir in Eberron is basically defined as mystery and intrigue. Spy thrillers, detective mysteries, espionage, etc. Stuff that digs into Sharn underworld or political machinations of the new Cold War after the Day of Mourning. It also is part of the whole "alignment isn't strictly defined"...

Then you will create a meta where the best spells are the no brainer choices and, unless you want to play a suboptimal lulz character, most magic will be ignored. No one will pick flame strike over fireball, flame bolt over eldritch blast, shillelagh over true strike. You'd be insane to not take...

The line really depends on what you consider to warrant a full class or a subclass. Psionics is a good example. The PHB has four "psionic" subclasses (a warrior, an expert and two different types of spellcaster) and for some, that's enough psionics for the game. Obviously, not everyone agrees...

Indiana Jones himself is a hero in the Allan Quatermain school of pulp that has fallen deeply out of fashion. Eberron tried to capture the elements of Deepest Darkest Africa adventures that were the rage in the early 20th century no clearer example of that than Xen'drik. Of course, those old...

You're not going to find a lot of consensus here. Half the community wants bland flavorless piles of mechanics they can describe however they want and the other wants a separate unique class for swashbucklers, knights, samurai, gladiators, gishes, etc. Part of the design issue is that the...

Movies lead me to the books. But I couldn't say I am enough of a mystery buff to dive deeper.

I don't consider this a bad thing though. Fighter itself means nothing and your subclass should really be defining the type of fighter you are (knight, arcane archer, gladiator, etc). Casters on the other hand have huge amounts of baked in flavor just by their spell selection alone. You can't...
