[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8646869, member: 18"] Just FYI, this is a confusing misuse of the term "Urban Fantasy", especially with the capitalization. Urban Fantasy does not refer to "fantasy set in cities". Independently that's what those words mean, but it's a very specific (and prolific) subgenre, and it very specifically means that it's set in approximately the real world and usually the modern day, or at least the 20th century and later, but that there is magic present to some degree (usually hidden in the shadows, but not always). [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_fantasy[/URL] This is not intended as a criticism of you, just like, if you use that term that way, people are going to get confused, especially those not familiar with Ravnica. Ravnica is rather a renaissance-era high fantasy setting that is set on a bizarre city-world. Yeah this is true. People pick Pact of the Blade for the theme/style, but my experience is that they are then quite reluctant to pick Hexblade, even though they're more or less required to, in order to avoid MAD and function properly. But they do usually pick Hexblade. [/QUOTE]
