[QUOTE="Moorcrys, post: 6333345, member: 7814"] I don't mind the writeup - seems fine to me. But then again my favorite character in 4e was my tiefling warlock. I never played Planescape back in my 2e days so I wasn't attached to that concept. And even if I didn't like it, it's the easiest thing to forget or change. I feel like I read race and class fluff once to get a sense of what *they* were thinking, but I reference the mechanics over and over again to come up with my own idea of who these races and classes are grounded in. Speaking of tielfing warlocks... sadly, I'm neither a fan of the tiefling art nor the trick-or-treat warlock art that was shown earlier. I want these iconic examples of races and classes to be badasses, and some of this art just seems really milktoast and static. To me she looks awkward, and even though she's in a bit of an action pose, she's not 'alive'. And frankly her horns look like skin eyebrows to me. Some art makes me sit up and say "Yeah! I want to be that kickass!" - this art doesn't speak to me in that way. But I wasn't a huge fan of the 4e PHB art either - it didn't keep me from playing what I wanted. :-) The mechanics seem solid and fun. I love flavor spells like thaumaturgy and the fact that they get it as an ability is awesome. And bring me on some hellish rebuke! Awesome. [/QUOTE]
