[QUOTE="Parmandur, post: 8347877, member: 6780330"] They have been consistent since late 2017, when they began testing for Xanathar's Guide. The only untested Race/Class options since that time were for licensed properties where the IP holders (Penny Arcade & Critical Role) wanted the options to represent their brand: and those options have not been reprinted in other books. The last point, there's really no evidence for: remember that forum chatter ≠ survey results. I see no reason to believe that they put in anything in spite of feedback: do you have a specific example where you believe that to be the case? In terms of an example of an Option that received mixed feedback and another go around, the Genie Warlock: surveys said that people liked the concept, but not certain elements. So they did another approach. That's different than an option which was broadly rejected, like the Truenamer Wizard. It. So, yes, it's not black and white, there is a grey shade in the middle. These options, intriguing as they are, did not fall in that grey area. [/QUOTE]
