[QUOTE="Teemu, post: 8811421, member: 30788"] The new Mages of High Sorcery is a good solution to recontextualizing Dragonlance’s arcane magic in 5e. I was never a huge fan of the Summer of Chaos aftermath—if you thought that the Spellplague was drastic, the Age of Mortals in DL was an order of magnitude more severe. All gods gone, magic revamped, new kaiju dragons ruling the lands, etc. It’s almost a different setting. The 3.5 era compromise between the original and the SAGA Dragonlance was okay, but the setting lost its focus. I don’t see a need to create elaborate world events to justify new classes. WotC’s approach with this new take on DL is good because it focuses on the core Dragonlance experience (the big war) without needlessly complicating things by trying to explain sorcery vs wizardry vs warlocks. They’re all mages, and mages typically belong to an arcane order called Mages of High Sorcery. The moons can influence the magic of mages. [/QUOTE]
