Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mirrorrorrim" data-source="post: 9008024" data-attributes="member: 7040132">I am normally in agreement about all this. But I have taken a hard, long look from another perspective. Before I address each design element, I now think the primary reason to add something to the 2024 book is to make something Core that can be included in the SRD, and therefore riffed off of in Creative Commons.The justification for the Ardling, Goliath, and Orc being reprinted in the 2024 PH tells me that they care about Core representation and some hole-filling. With Ardling out, the Aasimar can be brought to the core as the opposite of the Tiefling, which is really how most people see it anyway, as that's how they were originally introduced back in the day. If Ardling was considered, Aasimar is certainly worthy of the SRD spot due to its popularity, and they can tweak heritages within the Aasimar if they feel there is Ardling pieces worth absorbing.I absolutely LOVE Genasi, and they are a species with interesting, deep, diverse design opportunities, like the Goliath, Dragonborn, and Tiefling. I believe they deserve to be Core in the SRD.And finally, do the designers want Artificers in the SRD or not? I think some players want that, and I think I would be cool with it too, with tweaks (maybe test out an amalgamation of the old Artificier and playtest Warlock progression?). [USER=6801436]@Knight_Marshal[/USER] also has a point in that the Artificer is the only class that has built in affinity for guns which are now in the PH. But the big issue here is the number of pages that the Artificer and 4 subclasses would take up in the book. It may just not have the room.</blockquote>
