Question, is the hazlik and Azalin statblocks just your big standard archmage and lich spruced up a tiny bit?

I don't know as I don't have access yet, but if Hazlik and Azalin are an archmage and a lich shouldn't they simply be those base statblocks spruced up a tiny bit?

If you are urious, here are the statblocks I made when VRGtR came out:

Hazlik
Azalin Rex

Man I really wish some of those these had gotten fleshed out. Souragne, Nova Vaasa, Invidia and G'henna all deserved some time in the moon...

Hazlik is in some ways weaker and some ways stronger than the Archemage. Less HP, only 3 Arcane Bursts instead of 4, but has a higher Spell Save DC, Legendary Resistance and Legendary Actions. And his Bonus Actions are a Wild Magic Surge instead of Misty Step alone.

Azalin is almost the same as the standard Lich, but has three notable differences. He doesn’t have Fireball, his Counter Spell lets him steal a spell he counters, and his legendary actions are a bit different. Plus he has higher HP and better stats.

Ooh! That sounds interesting! I like the steal a spell mechanic.

It does expand a little - it’s a longer book! But it looks like mostly a do-over judging by the contents.

With Eberron, Forge of the Artificer has crossover with Rising from the Last War, but both have enough independent material that WotC sold them as a bundle, you can legitimately use both.

This they would not bundle.

The book is on Beyond for Master Tier. Looking at it now.

How do the Dark Gifts compare to the old?

Seconded. Especially second skin. Did they make that worth taking?
