Dragonlance Dragonlance Shadow of the Dragon Queen shows up in the wild!

Celestial might work in conjunction with the "divinely favoured" feat. You are the chosen one of some god or other. Or, I may be misremembering, but I think I've seen unicorns on Krynn. As for the others, I might suggest the player refluffs or reconsiders. It would depend on how the DM felt about interlopers from other planes. If you are allowing portaling half orcs, then there is no reason not to allow genies arriving the same way. I consider creating characters for a campaign a cooperative activity, with a back-and-forth between the player and DM (instant messaging is great!).

I believe the Forest Master mentioned was the unicorn. She seemed more like a very powerful unique creature than one member of a race of unicorns.

If you don't put flavor in the PH, you're not going to catch the eye of new players. The flavorless PH I've seen some advocate for would not sell sufficiently IMO.

If it had the words Dungeons and Dragons on it, I don't think it would matter.

What a sad but likely true statement that is.

But how irritated would the DM be if they did?

At this point I'm still debating whether I'm even going to allow sorcerers to take it, or whether I'm going to leave it wizard only and give sorcerers their own organization. There's no way I'd let a barbarian take it.

If it gives spells (and it did in the UA i believe) then it makes perfect sense that my barbarian knows a few spells and as such went to the tower.

Goldmoon did not wear heavy armors, wading into melee with a mace and shield! A Celestial warlock with a boon of tome or talisman (the disks) would be a nice fit.

OMG, that might actually fit Goldmoon better then cleric

Anybody seen any Lord Soth stats yet?

thank you for asking the most important question... what can we add to DeathKnight... (maybe martial dice, maybe some unquie features)

You're doing it backwards. You didn't know some spells and then get taken to the tower because, "Your talent for magic came to the attention of the Mages of High Sorcery..." Your talent for magic(1st level wizard) is what gets you that attention and then you learn more with the feat.

not for the background I just wrote when I saw this I wasn't

I had talent, found some hidden magic... then went to the tower to get more (maybe even a color robe) I MAY multi into a spell caster later but for now barbarian with those background/feats works for me

Neither does every cleric.

She has more slots for her spells than a warlock does.

Sure. And as I said to the other fellow that I was talking to, I wouldn't be upset if I played in a game and the DM did that. I just won't do it myself since it doesn't work for the game I run.
