I'm glad of the fix. I'm also glad I can download the images onto my computer. This might be a rare case where I might buy a second copy of the book just to show support for the art change in physical (but only after the second printing starts). I want to put my money where my mouth is and show...

And now Eldraine as of yesterday, as a tie-in to this month's launch of the second Feywild-esque Eldraine set, Wilds of Eldraine. Note that each of the Planeshift articles and coffeetable books and D&D MtG books were tie-ins to Magic sets that were released the same year or fiscal year. So the...

Was there a Minecraft tie-in book? I assume all their comments in the document about how to repurpose these Eldraine creatures for a Feywild or Giants campaign are their tie-ins. For the planeshift comments -- it should be noted that each Magic setting that got a big coffee-table book and a...

Sorry, I was tired and saw that you responded to my response to them. I apologize!

Not according to RAI. An Improvised weapon is not a Melee nor a Ranged weapon. It can be used to make melee or ranged weapon attacks, but as with unarmed strikes it doesn't gain proficiency bonus and isn't a weapon itself. You might play DM-May-I to ask the DM to treat the chair leg AS a club...

What Fighting Style would you give the Brawler, regardless of the fix you're proposing? Is there ANY way to make either of these two halves compatible with more than just Defense? The two halves stitch together definitely seem to me to arise directly from the fact that they were stitched...

The culture of an artisan (pick trade) within the guild system free cities? But I also much prefer the generic backgrounds to the specific. Candlekeep Librarian might have something weird that mechanically ties into Candlekeep when all I really want is a Librarian background I can apply to my...

Not sure where else to post this, but your sketch last week about Jabba the Hutt brought up a thought for me — is Kermit the only frog in his species? Is Bozo the only clown?

I've become okay with Species. I liked heritage, but species has grown on me, as I think they were betting. I do want a full separation of "genetic" and "learned" traits, though. The Playtests haven't thrown all the learned traits into the more robust Background system, and they should. If...

Would putting Superior Technique in the PHB suffice?

I don’t like the Brawler subclass. I thought I did, but then realised it only works with one default Fighting Style (Defense); is redundant with one Tasha’s Style (Unarmed Fighting — as it is a fighting style feat turned into a whole subclass tree); and only works with two other Tasha’s Styles...

They've listed EGtW as Partnered Content too, FYI.

Yeah, the return of class-based spell lists makes me very worried for what I thought was the coolest thing about the playtest entirely. As a Bard-lover, this opened up worlds of new stories to tell. I also liked the choice of casting ability for warlocks, though I didn't like it being attached...

To be fair, I still can't say the species name Aasimar without snickering. In my game, I've renamed them Azuras (an allusion to Asuras / Ahura of Vedic/Persian veneration), but also to the Azure sky.

They are? That's good to hear. The D&D Beyond version feels extremely barren of artwork. Which is weird because this is one of the most flavourfully brilliant works of 5e. And they found a way to bring back 4e's Titans (as Elemental Cradles of the Scions who are Titans) and Eldritch Giants...

I like the 4e idea that Tieflings were a group of human nobles from a dying empire that turned to pacts with devils to defeat the Dragonborn empire that had them on the brink of extinction. Now both empires are dead, and Tieflings are the descendants of these Warlock nobles that were...

Didn't even think of that as linking them but hell yes! Even more so, I feel strongly about this. Glitchling/Ardling/Plasmoid Neutrals ftw!

I don't want the alignments to be baked in, but something like the Aasimar and Tiefling but for the Lawful Outer Planes and the Chaotic Outer Planes and the Outlands, yes. In fact, my opinion is to do this: Glitchling/Modron for Lawful Plasmoid for Chaotic Ardling for Neutral I know Ardling...

The problem with Half-elves and Half-orcs, is that the half- is built into the name itself. For Half-orc, I think replacing with Orc works just fine. "Orc" refers to anyone with Orcish features, including Half-orc/half-humans and Half-orc/half-hobgoblins, etc. For Half-elf, I think it may be...

Goliath absolutely includes Half-Giants. The two have been equated ever since 2010's Dark Sun Campaign Setting. Of course, 5e also makes clear that Goliaths can be descendants of other peoples with giant-blood in their ancestries, or their own people that have descent in part from giants but...
