The point is: in our current dystopian era, I don't think encouraging players to explore the fiction of being a mini-tyrant allied with an immortal tyrant is a good idea. Maybe it was fine back in 1991. But in 2025? It just feels ... gross.Even if you go with "formerly allied with", the mechanics of the class don't mesh with that. The mechanics of the class scream "I am a tyrant and I want you do know it!""Using my tyrannical powers for good" is a weird take.If you want to play an ex-templar who has seen the error of their ways, write that into their backstory and pick something else as your subclass to show that they've actually changed their ways.EDIT: Yes, this is absolutely a hill I am willing to die on. Besides, I've already submitted my feedback. It's not like I can change it. I'm sure the pro-evil PC folks will drown out my feedback with their own, so ... <img class="smilie smilie--emoji" alt="🤷" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f937.png" title="Person shrugging    :person_shrugging:" data-shortname=":person_shrugging:" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" />EDIT 2: I made the same comments in <a href="https://www.enworld.org/threads/dungeons-dragons-releases-new-unearthed-arcana-subclasses-strongly-hinting-at-dark-sun.714936/page-8#post-9734691" target="_blank">my initial post</a> about the subclasses and just got 5 likes. Not sure why my opinion is only now proving more controversial.</blockquote>
