[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 9469083, member: 23484"] The 2024 rules are kinder to Illusion magic than any edition we have had in 50 years. Between the Illusionist subclass, the Trickster Cleric, the Glamour Bard, and the Arcane Trickster, there are now four subclasses partial to Illusion magic, and some guidance (not enough, sadly) to help ensure that illusions work mostly the same table-to-table. I am keen to play them all. (There's also an illusion-focused character that I have still to play from the 2014 rules that are no longer possible in 2024; one of the two "legacy-only" builds that I'll crack out if I'm at a table that hasn't updated.) Compare this to the situation in AD&D, where there was a class, but it had such a high Int and dex requirement to play, that (frankly) I never rolled stats good enough to qualify. It was entirely inaccessible, and cool as it was, it wasn't something actually to be played, in my experience. It wasn't unpopular because it wasn't fun; but it just couldn't be played .
