Rule of 3: 29-08-11 Kara-Tur in October

I understand the answer to number 1. I think reusing elements of a base class in a -non-traditional manner is great. It saves a lot of design space. However, the bladesinger seems wonky to me. I give WotC an "A" for effort, but it falls a little flat.

Answer 2 sounds like the usual. They want really good pitches for things during the submission process. Also, new seasons for the Sentinel Druid are planned! So that's cool.

Kara-Tur/Oriental Adventures will be October's Dragon/Dungeon theme. Will see new options for assassin and monks and a new race: hengeyokai (you guys will have to help me with that one).

I love the fact that all the classic and iconic Wizard spells are Daily spells, and with this overly moronic system Bladesingers can't cast a single one of them.

Like I was trying to say "potential > execution".

If they had left the wizard dailies in place and had Bladesong recharge when you cast one, call the class a Striker and gave bonuses to Fortitude and Will that scaled with level, then MAYBE the class would be alright.

Magic Missile
Lightning Bolt
Fireball

None of those are dailies.

I am not sure how well the bladesinger will do in play and have not read that part of the NCS in detail yet.

However, their answer makes perfect sense and I think they have done that. Whether it is successful or not is another question, of course.

I think in a year we are really going to be wondering where the support is for these essentials classes. And wishing it were here.

Fireball is a daily.

What's sad is the example in the answer they gave is Fireball, which they got wrong.

Hengeyokai are shape changing animal spirits. They traditionally have a human form, an animal form, and something in between.

Awesome. I loves me some animal-people races.
