What heritage is the character on the cover? Planetouched/Tiefling?

Unfortunately that's not the case. It's just an oversight in A5E editing. From SRD 5.1

I can't help but feel that's kind of annoying and unhelpful? Not as much as the 'Pathfinder has that' crowd but still. Not everyone is playing a game where A5E content is allowed. And I say this as someone who likes A5E and has an article in the July GPG.

Why does it matter? 5E is a lot bigger and less Grognardly than the community that got so weird about the Warlord in 4E.

If you insist on keeping the Weave, you could always just say that Dark Sun being cut off from the rest of the multiverse means the Weave doesn't reach it and that's why Preserving and Defiling are a thing.

There was also not actually a downside to being a preserver relative to 'regular' D&D. You progressed as normal, defilers just progressed faster.

...More obscure than one of the most famous English authors of the past century whose books have been adapted into blockbuster films and dozens of video games? I'd imagine so!

There are already Dark Sun actual plays.

I'm curious why you think that given they just relaunched the core books last year.

Right, but he did? Vax didn't die immediately but his life was given to the Raven Queen.

I had planned to start running a Descent into Avernus campaign this summer so probably that one, but there are so many I'd like to. Also lots of non D&D games. Too much to play, too little time.

There are also things that aren't in the errata list that are still different on the A5E.tools website. For example, the Guarded Warrior feat on the site does not explicitly grant you the Warning Strike maneuver but rather states that you can do the thing Warning Strike allows you to do. It also...

I'd say it is broadly seen as a problem but nobody agrees on the best solution.

Rangers in A5E aren't half casters.

...didn't Gen Z make Columbo super popular again? I really don't think young people are as much of a monolith as you believe.

They would care about cheesing off their customers again after the OGL debacle, which a harder break from backwards compatibility would have done.

I mean better is subjective, but I think it's neat. Because the capstones are a type of feature instead of a singular unique feature, they can add additional ones and give each class more options.
