[QUOTE="Levistus's_Leviathan, post: 7990258, member: 7023887"] Okay, a few points here that I want to point out: [LIST=1] [*]It's been awhile since we got races/subraces playtested. They don't need to playtest them, they're fairly easy to make and balance. I'm not surprised we didn't get the Leonin or Satyr in a UA, because if WotC doesn't know how to balance races yet, that's evidence that they don't know how to do their jobs. Also, I know a main part of UA is to introduce the idea to the community, but they probably didn't want to spoil the identity of the book beforehand, and already knew how people would react. [*]Next, the Theros subclasses only needed small revisions. That's how WotC does UA. Anything that needs a small change doesn't go into another UA article, but the ones that need serious changes, like the Noble Genie Warlock, goes into a UA later with the changes. [*]Psionics in its current state is not at a stage WotC is happy with. I am 99% sure this UA will not get the 70% approval rating, and even surer that WotC will keep working on developing UA until it's at a stage the community is overall happy with. [/LIST] I don't think they'd fast-track something as controversial or complicated as Psionics. WotC has to understand that if they don't get this right, people will get angry. [/QUOTE]
