Message: <blockquote data-quote="steeldragons" data-source="post: 7672295" data-attributes="member: 92511">I will join in the chorus of there being nothing here I will use or think is particularly useful. Nor, perhaps, that it is a particularly thorough or well written posting. HOWEVER, I will point out two things in defense of the Wizard's right to put out this sort of material.1) To the "This stuff doesn't look tested/good enough for play/use" criers. They have been extraordinarily clear that the Unearthed Arcana material is ALL untested and submitted your potential use, testing and feedback. So go use it, change what you don't like, or don't use it at all. But you don't really get to say "This isn't finished." It's a UA article. No, it's NOT finished. We know that.2) I will remind [or "point out" for those who don't know] the original Unearthed Arcana book was a collection of Player AND DM options to be integrated into play on an individual table-to-table basis. Not everything was used, "fun" or even wanted by everyone. But that is what the book was. Player options AND DM options.So for /every/ UA article to not be chock full of player options like races and classes, I can fully endorse and get behind even if I, personally, would prefer and be more likely to use some of the more creative race/class business than these sorts of obviously DM-directed variant rules.Yes. It is only once per month...and that kind of sucks. But the fact that this month's article was specifically "DM-oriented/rules level stuff" after a couple of articles that were more "Player[and DM]-oriented/character-level stuff" seems totally fair and justified. So...Thanks for the free stuff...I'll take a pass this time and happily await whatever you want to throw at us next month.</blockquote>
