They stole my my help as a bonus action idea...

They're walking a balancing act between providing a focus on Forgotten Realms material while also providing material that can be used for non-FR players. See the same Dragon+ article from a month or so ago.

If they find the right balance and get good return this might lead to an interesting situation. They could use this same strategy to leverage other campaign settings. Bundle them with some recyclable crunch to make them more commercially appealing.

Jeez, can they publish some non-hideous halfling art?! I've heard the toddler proportions argument used as a defense against this terrible art direction, but that's frankly absurd. Toddler's arent adults, so it doesnt make sense that adult halflings use their head to body ratios. Unless halfling toddlers are 4/5 head...

Crunchwise, it looks decent, but that 17th level feature is pretty situational.

If it had human proportions in that picture, it'd be impossible to say if it was a halfling or human...

Just checked the total, it rose again, to over 85700, so it does appear to still be on.

That was probably just the final tally. It was a 48-hour marathon, "starting on Friday, October 2, at 12 PM PST and running until Sunday, October 4, 12 PM PST."

I am so very excited about this. It's a step closer to a "lead from the rear" warlord design. Help as a minor ... I mean bonus action is super useful, and it is a different and interesting way to give out a level 3 damage boost where the thief was lacking one (the assassin and arcane trickster have them, sort of for the AT).

Aaaaaaand begin the power creep supplements!

They did start the marathon at over $50k I think.

They also mentioned at the 47 hour mark that they had almost reached last year's numbers and they still had a month to go until the actual Extra Life weekend. Then they joked that they will not be doing any more marathons.

 

[pukunui]

Oh OK. Well, maybe the fundraiser part is still going on then. I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong, since I was most keen to see that map.

I don't think there is any creep here../

Don't have my books now, but aren't both the Mastermind and the Swashbuckler duplicating stuff that can be obtained with Feats, at least partially?

You're forgetting that feats are an optional rule.
