[QUOTE="Amphytrion, post: 9722772, member: 7046181"] I'm confused about these statements that they haven't touched Purple Dragon Knights in 125 years. They are in the SCAG, set roughly 12-15 years before this upcoming book, where they were spotlit via this exact subclass (an earlier iteration). They get roughly one page of write-up there. Cormyr gets yet another subclass in the book, War Wizards, which are the spellcasting subdivision of Cormyrean military. There are also Cormyrean NPCs in WotC's adventures, starting all the way back in Rise of Tiamat. It's not like nobody knows what is going on in Cormyr. There are no references to amethyst dragons anywhere in any of these books. I don't think any of this matters. Some people don't care at all about Purple Dragon Knights or Amethyst Dragon lore, and they wanted a pet dragon class. That’s a fine position to have, but there’s no need to start squinting towards amethyst dragon lore to find a way for this all to come together. I’ve DM’ed for two Bannerets over the years (one currently, 2014 rules). There will be players for them even if you personally find them boring. [/QUOTE]
