Personally, if I were to run an FR game (which I don't), it would be Grey Box (1e). Other folks really like the 2e, 3e or 4e versions, and there have been supplements set in other eras as well. So I think they're making the right choice here, though it cuts the size of the audience available for FR adventures.FR has a list of subraces for the standard D&D races already; there's no need to change it. As for backgrounds and themes, I think a few region-specific ones would be cool.A bladesinger should be a prestige class built off of an elven fighter/mage chassis.A quibble- neither of those was new to 4e. (Drow go back to 1e, in fact, even as a pc race.) I don't allow Drow pcs in my game, but I'm pretty sure we'll see them in FR pretty early on. Genasi, probably, too, just so that existing pcs can be easily converted over. That said, since I don't generally allow them either (for reasons of campaign flavor), I don't much care how they are handled. I really don't think we need a swordmage base class. I'd prefer to limit base classes to reasonably distinct, hard to achieve via multiclassing kinds of things. I'd rather see swordmage as a prestige class. (I wouldn't mind having a bunch of prestige classes that are distinctly different that all focus on multiclassing warrior-casters in different ways.)I'm not sure what you mean here. I don't think the FR fighter should be any different than a core fighter, if that's what you're thinking. I'd like to see a whole ton of distinct warlock pacts, dark included.I'll leave this one to the FR aficionados. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
