And I especially don't see the value in banning a class for using the wrong tag for their magic. There's no arcane magic... okay? So the warlock is granted new 'psionic' abilities, or they can just take spells and call them divine like the elemental priests do.It all feels very much like finding half an excuse to exclude the new stuff half the time, especially when it extends to basically every legacy setting aside from FR made before Eberron. These setting feel like they've been shackled and brainboxed to the late 80's and early 90's, never to grow or change again.I'm digging the discussion about moving off the grimdark, hopeless slavery-as-themepark stuff, but those aren't the only parts of the setting that need examined.</blockquote>
