    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    I sure hope they do -- can't buy the digital bundle anymore, and my order doesn't say digital bundle anymore, it just says each of those books separately (even though I bought them as the digital bundle).

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Hmm. I ordered the DIGITAL bundle, and the two books now are accessible as of today in my account, but not the 3 expansions. Maybe they're coming next week as the Ultimate Bundle still has a 6 days and change countdown, but I don't see anywhere to even preorder these 3 expansions. I always get...

    Dhampir and Other Species To Be Included in Astarion's Book of Hungers

    Hmm. I ordered the DIGITAL bundle, and the two books now are accessible as of today in my account, but not the 3 expansions.

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    The issue is that they don't want that in their backstory, but they want the features otherwise. I don't think that's unreasonable, but I also don't think the features are so dwarfing of the competition that it's not worth taking Acolyte or whatnot instead. The nice thing with tying 1st...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Nah, you just overflow the calculator and become an Oath of Redemption pacifist Paladin. ;)

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    It's still hardback in part because a lot of us (and all the FLGSs etc) had already pre-ordered the hardcover copies when the print run was recalled. They weren't going to recall it and then republish it instead in paperback. It's a much bigger headache to have to refund all the stores and to...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Or they'll do slim paperback books like they used to for that sort of smaller release.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Eh, it's going to happen soon – they just need to get the Psion right and maybe do one more pass on the other subclasses for the setting. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a Q4 2026 release, but I expect something else from FR (like an Adventure Path/Module) before they do DS.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    You'd need a major cultural shift toward Chaotic Good Rangers yearning to throw off the yokes of their Evil Kin. Everyone would be obligated to Dual-Wield Scimitars. In all seriousness, they told us this would be the case when they took them out of the Monster Manual. The idea is that Drow in...

    D&D General Extra Life Charity D&D Accessories - With possible hints for the Forgotten Realms books?

    They're name-checked//discussed in the sections about Anauroch in the new Forgotten Realms books, and are included in AoF's Bestiary, so it's nice to see them included here too.

    D&D General Extra Life Charity D&D Accessories - With possible hints for the Forgotten Realms books?

    Notably, this is the exact same boundaries for Faerûn as depicted on the map included with Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerûn.

    Renegade to Reprint Lords of Waterdeep

    Huh. There's still a copy or two from the first printing at my FLGS, I considered grabbing it (never got it back in 2012) but might wait for the new printing if it means the price will go down.

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Page Count, Contents Revealed

    I wouldn't be surprised if it's 26 Dragonmark Feats (a lesser and a greater Mark respectively), and 2 other feats.

    D&D General Orcs are misplaced

    Sure, but Ogrillions are also Half-Ogres in 2014-5E lore. Half-Ogres are also half-[Orc, Human, Hobgoblin, Bugbear] suggesting that Goblinoids and Semi-Giant are not that far apart. And that makes sense, because Orcs come originally from Tolkien, and Tolkien's Orcs and Tolkien's Goblins were...

    D&D General Circle Magic Concerns In "Heroes Of Faerun"

    I think at my game I'd make a similar sort of ruling, but I'm glad that's not in here as a default. This feels like something that should be left up to individual DMs/Tables to agree on how magic power sources work. Some settings and games magic source separation of powers is a key part of...

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    Oakies, I disagree but this made me chuckle, thank you.

    Daggerheart Releases Bloodhunter Class for Playtesting

    Does this have anything to do with why we can't use the Blood Hunter in the D&D Beyond App? For at least a year now it's been available on D&D Beyond in-browser but not in-app.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    This. Both books are fantastic, and actually make me enjoy the 'Realms. Guess they're no longer Forgotten (well, except for the Forgotten Lands, and also everything "Beyond" -- it's D&D!!! D&D BEYOND!!!).

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    They also have Custom Background in the 2024 DMG.

    Unearthed Arcana WOTC still can't get the backgrounds right in the new FR book.

    Different CharOps guides will rate differently. I was using an example, not saying it's what the fandom agrees on. But I'm suspicious of the the idea of these two backgrounds for Monks being colored Red - both increase Wisdom, and that's half of your main class toolset palette. But in either...
