D&D 5E Mythic Odysseys of Theros Reviews

Redemption is an aura. In fact, it's the same ability as Crown, except as a larger range aura.

Oh wow, I just looked them up to see what they did, be nice if Crown had an update but I think I'm just going to have to sub in the redemption aura if anyone plays a crown paladin.

Okay. Thanks for the correction.

My point here is, it would fit the greek-hero theme better to have an aura that negatively effects enemies as opposed to an aura that positively effects allies.

Yep. I got my copy the other day.

When I decide to buy an RPG book, I look at new mechanics, then lore, and distantly art. These books aren't cheap, and mechanics are the hardest thing to make on your own, so that part needs to be solid and reasonably plentiful to be worthwhile for me. At this point, not sure if MOoT makes the cut.

Nah, art is way harder to make on your own. I think you’re undervaluing the skill of artists.

Good point, I take that back. Still not important to me though.

I actually got it for the mechanics, but I am a DM not a player so the mechanical content I want is sometimes different.

Definite pass for me. Not enough useful meat in it, mechanically, and the lore holds minimal interest (Greek mythology inspired content is cool, but just doesn't capture my interest enough).

Now if they give Kamigawa this kind of treatment with more significant mechanical support, they'd have my attention. Granted, I don't see them going near that setting again for a loooooong time given the recent kerfuffle about OA (and don't blame them).

I’d put the priories nearly opposite that. I want some crunch, but I can get that on dndbeyond. Before dndbeyond I could fit it elsewhere. I don’t need a physical book at all for crunch.

But lore and art are what make a book worth sitting down with on a day off.
