[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8566815, member: 6803643"] I love that they went with Lunar Magic because it essentially unites the best bit of the 4e Cosmic Magic Sorcerer (or at least the best bit that hadn't been stolen by the Druid Circle of the Stars) with the 4Essentials Witch. It feels right without stepping on the Druid or Warlock toes - this is our Wicca subclass. LOVE IT. What I DON'T love is Feat Chains. Feat Chains should die in a fire. And Backgrounds granting you a feat? That's either significant power creep (which is okay if it's ONLY in DragonLance as its "thing" like Theros' Supernatural Gifts or Ravnica's Guilds or Strixhavens Spell-granting Backgrounds), or else it means these feats shouldn't be feats and are a waste of a feat slot for anyone who didn't take those backgrounds - they're essentially the return of the Feat Tax. While Kender… I find it interesting that WotC have decided to throw out any connection the Halfling lineage boxes with this one. It's not the "tradeable" features that Stouts and Lightfoots and Ghostwises and Lotusdens and Mark of Healing and Mark of Hospitality have - since now every "subrace" is its own independent lineage, they can diversify from each other more mightily. This could be a sign of how significantly different the 2024 PHB "subrace" lineages will be from one another: kind of like how 3.5e High Elves became 4e Eladrin (until Essentials and later 5e split High Elves away from Eladrin again) while Wood Elves just became straight up "Elves." I wouldn't be surprised if that's a direction they start moving again in in 2024, if not in independent names, then perhaps in very different,. but still slightly related, lineage stat blocks.
