It's a Modron! But a bit Rogue! What a novel idea...

Robot chickens!!! They flap their little wings, but never get very far with it.

True, but after the amount of Giant related stuff in the previous UA, it feels like something more Giant focused than Planescape is in the works...but this also indicates that Sigil is coming.

Last year they doubled up UA for Fizban's, Strixhaven, and Monsters of the Multiverse together, so this is not necessarily for the same product.

Sure - could absolutely be them doubling up on playtest meterial. I've just had Norse mythology stuff floating around my head for a hypothetical Planescape game/character, so I'm kind of primed to find potential links wherever I can.

The giant stuff is surprising. I think it is likely to separate from the "Planescape" content.

Maybe Kaldheim setting?

Not terribly surprising, since the last UA was all Giant options that looked perfect for a Giant-focused Fizban's type book, as does some of this.

SPELLJAMMER CONF-- oh, wait....

I really like them being more “on the nose” with the UAs.

 

[Undrave]

I am somewhere between underwhelmed and whelmed.

Some of the stuff is fine, the Fate Cleric feels weak, and the two tier feats just tired me looking at them... So many things in them and then some MORE spell casting on top of everything already existing...

Note in the video they listened and seemed to hear the criticism about fest trees. They said they didn’t intend for them in the future nor have they changed direction. These feat prerequisites are founded in story.

I really don't understand what they're doing with the feats. They seems to be full of very specific stuff that seems like they should be racial and class features. I don't think this makes sense in a splat based game, they feel more like building blocks from a game where you build your characters freely from scratch.

It makes more sense if you realize there are story elements these are based upon that have not been released.
