Of course this still leaves a lot of thematic options, it can run anywhere on the grittiness spectrum from Lord of the Rings to Locke Lamora to Game of Thrones. I don’t think WotC will be pursuing it though, they’ve made it clear that their vision of D&D doesn’t involve limiting options or having setting-specific special rules that rewrite or fundamentally modify the base system.</blockquote>
