And they got stats in 4e in Dragon magazine. My point was in 5e, not other editions or game systems or 3rd party variant systems.

Gnolls never got PC stats because they really leaned into "Gnolls aren't humanoids, they're fiends" thing. Guess they wanted a common D&D monster species that isn't undergoing the transformation into PC Species like Goblins, Orcs, Kobolds, etc.

I do think they should lean more into the cantrips and metamagic side of things, and switch to spell points, when they get to the next major revision. But I think the Sorcerer currently has an interesting mechanical space as flexible in the moment while the Warlock is flexible at Character...

There's a bunch of disease examples and options in the DMG. But I vaguely recall this too. Makes me sad; I like it as a potential threat!

Bards can get them, but only ~2 per level starting at 10, and they still only prepare like half as many of them as Wizards do, and they can't swap them out during a LR like Wizards can do with the spells they've added to their spellbook. Bards have the most versatility in access to spells, but...

I thought you didn't use the Elder Elemental Eye's name, Snarf!

Cactusfolk from Thunder Junction, if only because they're abso-effing-lutely amazing. And we need more plant people. Wilden/Killoren were dope. I really want a crossover book with Outlaws of Thunder Junction. It's a crossroads of planes due to the Omenpaths connecting them with places like...

It's the Mutant / Enhanced superhero class (but not Warrior-type; that's the Barbarian, Monk, or Artificer depending on their superpower source). This is X-MEN like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Magneto, Storm, or Jubilee. You can do a very small number of things REALLY well and you can change the way you...

Yeah, that's what I got from the Playtest, but the article was nebulous on that. Was wondering if anyone can confirm that they just didn't mention a bunch of abilities despite saying that if they didn't mention it it was unchanged…

Cleansing Touch didn't actually do anything with poison – it ended spell effects on a target Cha Mod/Long Rest. It seems to be replaced with Restoring Touch (Use Lay on Hands HP Pool to end certain conditions on a target), but they didn't mention anything regarding it in the table. I noticed...

Any idea if the relatively mystical ki-based features are gone? Tongue of Sun and Moon, Timeless Body, Empty Body, Diamond Soul, Stillness of Mind, Purity of Body, etc? They were removed in the playtest but aren't mentioned in the article.

Any ideas if Divine Health and Cleansing Touch are still gone or if they're unchanged because unmentioned? Both were removed as of the most recent playtests, and are not mentioned here.

Thanks. Just checking, because the Paladin one doesn't mention a few of features that were removed in even the most recent UA Playtest, despite also saying that if it doesn't mention it it's not change (Divine Health, Cleaning Touch are the ones I'm thinking of).

Yes. Unrelated: No mention of Arcane Recovery means it's still in, right? They would have mentioned it's axed in the article, per the notes about "if it's not mentioned, it's unchanged or virtually unchanged"?

I'd second this @dave2008

How do people feel about homebrewing this new Sorcerer to cast with Mana Points, and conflate that with Sorcery Points for one larger pool used for both spellcasting and metamagic and other features? Would that break this version of the class' balance?

Has anyone figured out if Clerics are getting a bonus use per Rest of CD at 2nd level? The verbiage of the article says "2 uses of Channel Divinity just like in 2014", but in 2014 they only had 1 use at 2nd level in 2014. I'm ASSUMING what they actually mean is "2 ways to use Channel Divinity...

Hey at least it means you now get to know 3 9th level spells. I guess theoretically you could learn 7 different 9th level spells by choosing to learn 3 of them and retrain 4 of them, but with only one slot to use them on, it made very little sense to choose more than 1 9th-level spell. This...

I'm assuming they're sticking with the new Bard progression of "whenever you gain a new spell slot, you also gain a new spell prepared selection to put in said slot" – that was the UA6 progression. This would mean 14 spells by 9th level, and the remaining 8 spells prepared can be of any of the...

A classic series! XD
