I feel an Artillerist Artificer can do quite a lot of damage in one round, especially a 15th level one. It might not be 20th level Battlemaster Fighter using Action Surge. But I feel it could be quite a lot with a 5th level spell and 2 cannon attacks at 3d8 each.

Back when the Artificer first came out, I was all about how the Artificer should dump some healing powder into a Blunderbuss and then shoot someone with it to heal them.

Anyways I'd see some Artificers flavouring their Homunculus as a "Minidrone", it looks like a Monodrone Modron except it's Tiny sized.

I hope they try to implement an actual Psion class, keep it simple for DMs and other players: such as using new and existing spells with a twist. Though after the Artificer and Psion I only see there being room for 2 or 3 more classes tops.

It's mostly good, my feedback: -I think their weapon proficiency should be Simple Weapons plus firearms such as Muskets and Pistols (it was optional before because those weapons were optional) -What's the point of being able to create a bedroll from magical tinkering if it only lasts 1 hour...

I think for player characters, having Fey Ancestry is usually better mechanically than being Fey. Being Fey protects you against Charm Person and maybe a couple of other spells that specifically affect Humanoids, and a lot of monsters are using less spells in the PHB now and more custom...

I'm disappointed about the Couch Commander subclass of the Warlord they haven't fixed it yet.

Monsters of the Multiverse definitely showed that Goblinoids are Fey now, PC Goblins, Hobgoblins and Bugbears all got Fey Ancestry as a trait, and the creature types for a bunch of their subtypes in that book is Fey. There's no surprise there.

Solasta was in some ways about the Reptilian plot to take over the world, the Soraks are shape-shifting lizard people after all.

Looking into the Paragons of the Neutral alignment the Rilmani, they are framed as being interested in balancing the different forces across the multiverse. They might be motivated by how their home plane The Outlands might be affected if the cosmic forces weren't balanced. Seeing as they have a...

I don't think it's that different for species, the first game only used the most basic subclasses of each class in the game and they came up with their own subclasses from everything else. They also invented a bunch of their own spells, I remember there being some really effective 5th level...

4e had the Dray as Dragonborn, they'd probably try to continue that in a 5e version. Half-giants as Goliaths has been done before, but Dark Sun has Humanoid-headed Giants and Beast-headed Giants, so maybe they'd tweak Goliaths to reflect the Beast-heads and Humanoid-heads as Giant Ancestry...

I'm looking forward to this one, though I know it can't top BG3 I think it'll still be enjoyable. I liked that in first game the PCs talked amongst themselves and had their own banter despite all being custom characters. It did put some importance on background, which is more significant now...

Mass Effect is influential enough that even Star Trek has taken some influences from Mass Effect, despite Star Trek influencing Mass Effect in the first place. But I'd think that Exodus would probably have stronger Mass Effect influences, since it's made by people who worked on Mass Effect.

I think Dark Sun was very much influenced by Mad Max when it first came out. I really liked the recent movies of that franchise (Fury Road and Furiosa), even if they weren't exactly blockbusters. I guess we need a big fight on a moving caravan pulled Inixes, against a bunch of raiders...

The White Wolf games generally had personalities types as central to it's characters, but some of the World of Darkness games sort of had 3 or 4 forces a lot like D&D, it was generally something Order/Stasis/The Weaver and the opposed Chaos/The Wyld with a corrupted Entropy/The Wyrm trying to...

Star Trek: Picard had a Vulcan named Krinn who was played by Kirk Acevedo, who rationalized and came to the very logical conclusion about why he should be a gangster.

Yes it could be that, but I've also seen an expansion of that same image where Elves and Dwarves are added into the mix. And the Female Dwarf is identical to the Male Dwarf, while the Male Elf is depicted as looking identical to the Female Elf.

I haven't seen too many examples in D&D art, but I've certainly seen examples of sexy female Orcs in art. Definitely something that became more prevalent once World of Warcraft came around. And most examples of an Orc woman she's dressed almost the same way they depicted other women in fantasy...

I don't like how they have so far kept the Devil-centric design for most Tieflings in 5e, with the exception of 2 examples of legacy 2e Planescape characters (Factol Rhys and Sly Nye).
