[QUOTE="Morrus, post: 7932463, member: 1"] The latest edition of WotC's online magazine contains [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/full-announcement-of-mythical-odesseys-of-theros-in-dragon-issue-30.670682/#post-7932068']some juicy tidbits[/URL] about [I]Mythic Odysseys of Theros![/I] [prbreak][/prbreak] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="100%" alt="theros2jpg.jpg"]119048[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [LIST=1] [*]It features Volothamp Geddarm. [*]It was headed up by James Wyatt, who used to work on D&D, and now works on [I]Magic: The Gathering[/I]. He worked on the 3E [I]Deities & Demigods[/I]. [*]It's based on a novella, which Wyatt spent considerable time researching. [*]He also read about the government of Athens, and the Greek calendar. [*]Subclasses include the College of Eloquence bard ("the philosopher ideal'), the Oath of Heroism paladin, and the Forge and Grave cleric domains. [*]The DMG piety system has been "blown up into a huge thing"... "That includes all sorts of rewards and restrictions for characters who choose to devote themselves to a god and track their piety.” [*]New magic items of the gods - artifacts and weapons. [*]“Everyone gets this extra leg up that is a gift of the gods, which is separate from the usual character background. It may be a magical thing about your nature, such as you have the mind of a sphinx and your thoughts can’t be read. Or you might be an oracle, which is an opportunity for your Dungeon Master to give you plenty of adventure hooks. It’s a straight power-up but not a huge power-up” [*]A table of omens with 100 entries. [*]Minotaurs, centaurs, merfolk (tritons from Volo), satyrs, leonine. [*]“The leonin is a different, stronger cat person, not just a tabaxi!” [*]"Satyrs are pretty much as you would expect. They’re party animals with good Dexterity and Charisma, they have a headbutt attack, they’re fast, they’re fey, they resist magic and they have musical instrument proficiency and persuasion." [*]Different lore for D&D creatures to match the Greek setting. [*]Mythic threats are boss fights. More than legendary. Aresta of the Endless Web is a spider. Has baby spiders which fight you. [*]Dyson Logos did the maps. [*]"There’s a temple of Athreos in two parts, split by the river that flows between the mortal world and the underworld."
