D&D (2024) Forgotten Realms Player Guide

[FitzTheRuke]

Yeah, I wanna know what he meant by "New Kinds of Spells".

Why would that piss you off? To me the FR Players Guide is the second part of the PHB as far as I'm concerned.

While Artificers can fit into any D&D world, it would be annoying to have to buy FR content and fluff in order to get access to them.

Wait, does this mean I have to retire the image I post in every FR thread...including this one?

Not until its released, WotC could still be pulling a fast one on us.

I'm sure that's how non eberron fans feel... This will be in a book with a lot of options, hopefully, hopefully.

I agree, it all feels very flat. Almost computer-generated.

Then I guess you haven’t been following computer generated art much!

IDK, but these look like in progress / concept art that WotC does, not final art

I am curious as well. I am tentatively hoping they will be a new take on spellfire.

Spoiler

There were some experimental rules for spellfire as a series of supernatural gifts - I think maybe as part of the closed SCAG playtesting. They obviously didn't make the cut for that book, but they did show up in limited form in Laeral Silverhand's Dragon Heist statblock.

I asked Mike Mearls on his patreon how he would do Spellfire in 5e. Maybe backers can catch him at Cons and keep asking him for a more developed approach . Granted he’s working on some cool things already from what he’s been posting….a chronomancer posted today.

 

[MockingBird]

This looks cool. I wouldn't say this is irrefutable evidence that this is a new edition since we never really got a proper FR campaign setting book in 5e14.

Possible options:

Psionic spells
Elven high magic
Shadow (weave) magic
Spellfire
Cooperative magic

Probably why it was reprinted in an Everything book. I'd hoped to see less of that this time...
