[QUOTE="O-Castitatis-Lilium, post: 9394728, member: 7044618"] I'm not sure why they focused on Player's Handbook so much, to be perfectly fair. I'm not saying you can't draw a conclusion, what' I'm saying is that to only read part one of a three part book series and assuming you know how it all ends in the final chapter of the third book just doesn't feel genuine to me. Could it be as this thread puts it, sure maybe, but can we say for certain, not really. We still have two other books to go through. The Player's Handbook from what I watched and read about on the internet, is the vast majority of it is just Xanathar's and Tasha's all shoved into one book now, with some tweaking here and there; on top of some new features that seem rather out of place all things considered. Look, I made the same conclusion at first, I said it in my last post; that they were focused more on how powerful they wanted to make players, and not how much work the DM is going to need to put in to balance encounters and the like for those players. Taking a moment though to understand that of course they are only going to talk about the Players Handbook stuff in these videos, because the videos are about the Player's Handbook; as well as remembering that they have two other books coming out, I have set my assumptions aside to see how this goes, for now anyways.
