I like the archivist, although its going to be a little to sci-fi for some campaigns. Its got a lot of flavor and has a unique take on the pet. I can't shake the feeling that the class is overfull. It has spellcasting, two different types of item infusion, and the pet with associated...

That would make sense. And Hex isn't quite as important to the class as say, Hunter's Mark for rangers.

I'm a little surprised that hellish rebuke beats out hex for warlocks considering hex is a core class spell.

I figured it would have the occupations and faction mechanics, but the new race, monsters and adventure are all a nice surprise. Its certainly not light on content.

I don't think this really qualifies as a fix to the Beastmaster since you are, power wise, playing 2 PC's. One of the main challenges with the Beast Master is you have one PC's worth of power spread across two bodies so they each feel a little weak. Getting to play a full Ranger with a Warrior...

I really like this. Its useful for creating cut down but functional characters that can scale. Having a tool which lets you build PC level creatures without having to make a bunch of choices is nice. I wish I had it when we played Curse of Straud so I could have let Ismark be useful the whole...

The Sweet Daughter of Halaster is pure nightmare fuel.

4 out of 5 rating for Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage Dungeon of the Mad Mage is an adventure for 5th - 20th level characters and features 23 thematically unique levels (and Skullport). The adventure is this dense sprawling affair and is structured in such a way that in order to finish the...

4 out of 5 rating for Waterdeep: Dragon Heist The D&D team has said that they want their new products to fill an "empty" slot on a GM's bookshelf, and to provide something unique. The only issue with this approach is that as the bookshelf gets fuller the empty slots get more niche. Waterdeep...

3 out of 5 rating for Guildmasters Guide to Ravnica This book is a great resource for the DM who wants to break away from standard D&D and the Forgotten Realms in particular. The book uses the MtG setting of Ravnica as a springboard to introduce a bunch of alternative takes on existing...

These seem all over the place power wise. One gives you the ability to get any wizard cantrip and free +1 (temporary) magic items and another gives you some ability bonuses and the friends and prestidigitation cantrips. The greater dragon marks are similar, some of them give you 7th level...

This was explicitly mentioned in the design (https://youtu.be/t4hzZSrbzOI?t=43m3s) Any good inquisitor needs spys.

This UA comes directly from The Mike Mearls Happy Fun Hour (tm). My thoughts glancing at the comments for those videos is that everyone wants to see their favorite class or character from a previous edition semi-officially appear in 5th.

I really like the Spore Druid, its doing neat stuff and has flavor. I also like the Brute but admit that its got a lot of overlap with other subclasses. Personally I'm a little cold to the Inventor. My thought would be that the class might be able to modularly combine different effects to...

No Lolth? Although I suppose Lolth worshippers already have their own section of the MM. Color me excited about whatever planar thingie they seem to be hinting at.

I really like the Eladrin shifting personality thing. I'm not sure why but for some reason I'm a bit down on the Gith. They get a +2 to an ability, +1 to an ability, a toughness boost, and free access to 3 different spells. It all seems like it might overshadow the other races, especially...

Thanks for clearing this up. I was having trouble figuring out what the issue was with Two-Weapon Fighting. This interaction does seem kind of like a "gotcha". I certainly didn't spot it.
