Unearthed Arcana: Psionics, Round Four

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 17:13:27 +0000

That’s not the proper name for this UA release, which would be either Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard or PsychicSoulPsionics, but as those are both unhelpful names, you get Psionics, Round Four. This is a new, very 5e take: what if there’s no mystic or psion 20-level class? Instead, psionics is three subclasses, a handful of spells, and two feats. Also, folks? Psionics is one of the most contentious things we ever discuss about D&D. I’m not sure why that is, […]

Eberron: Rising from the Last War Review

Brandes Stoddard — Thu, 21 Nov 2019 13:00:33 +0000

We started seeing WotC tinker with Eberron mechanics quite early in 5e, in Unearthed Arcana releases – so long ago that I wasn’t yet writing breakdowns for each one. Then we had Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron and Morgrave Miscellany, both of which I’ve covered here in Tribality in multi-part articles. WGTE was the trial balloon for fan interest in a physical 5e Eberron setting book. “Adamantine Best Seller” is, um, real good news, vis-à-vis trial balloons. UA: Races of Eberron […]

The Artificer Class, Part Seven

Brandes Stoddard — Fri, 15 Nov 2019 22:20:36 +0000

Now that my review copy of Eberron: Rising from the Last War has arrived, I’m starting my breakdown of it by finishing up the History of the Artificer series. As a reminder, this class went through multiple rounds of public playtesting in Unearthed Arcana (v1, v2, v3). I’ll write this on the assumption you haven’t read all of those, but if you want some extra context, they may be interesting. Part Zero | Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four | Part Five | Part Six | Part […]

Eberron: Rising from the Last War Coming – November 2019

Shawn Ellsworth — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 16:31:04 +0000

A very exciting press release was just sent to my inbox. A new hardcover D&D 5e Eberron book has been announced and it is not Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron. Below you’ll find product details, side by side covers, and the press release. The artificer class is finally coming to hardcover! A PDF of Wayfinder’s Guide to Eberron was released back in July 2018 and was last updated in February 2019. The PDF provides a 175 page “overview of Khorvaire and […]

The Artificer Class, Part Four

Brandes Stoddard — Thu, 08 Aug 2019 12:00:39 +0000

Now that GenCon 2019 is done, I can come back to the History of the Artificer. This week we’re taking on 4e and the Eberron Player’s Guide. By coincidence this is the one version of the artificer I’ve seen in actual use at the table. (There were no artificers in the one 3.5 Eberron campaign I played.) Part Zero | Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four Eberron Player’s Guide This is the second Arcane Leader class of 4e. Making the […]

The Artificer Class, Part Two

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 14:30:29 +0000

Welcome back to the History of the Artificer. Here in the third* article, we’re finally going to see a version of the class that is called an artificer, and is 100% different from the Clockwork Mage kit and the tinker class. *sometimes we count like programmers Part Zero | Part One | Part Two Eberron Campaign Setting (3.5) The theme presented here leans all the way into replacing technology (steam, clockwork, whatever) with magic. The artificer is a technician of magic […]

Unearthed Arcana: The Artificer Returns Breakdown

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 15 May 2019 16:33:26 +0000

Welcome back, Unearthed Arcana, we’ve missed you! Now, we’ve known for a few months that UA was going to bring more artificer content when it came back, and that it might be a few months because they’re moving away from steady, or even scheduled, UAs. This time out, we get two new subclasses, three new infusions, and some other minor changes. Artificer | Artificer Revised | Artificer Returns Archivist Readers who know me personally are in no way surprised […]

Morgrave Miscellany Breakdown, Part Four

Brandes Stoddard — Wed, 01 May 2019 12:00:25 +0000

This week in the Morgrave Miscellany design breakdown and review, I’m jumping right back in where I left off last time, with the Child of Khyber section. I’m hoping to finish up this week, since a fair portion of the remaining content is game-running advice. So without further ado… Barbarian – Fighter | Monk – Wizard | Cultures – Dragonmarks | Child of Khyber – Morgrave Faculty Directory Child of Khyber The mechanical concept of the Child of Khyber is to […]

Morgrave Miscellany Breakdown, Part Three

Brandes Stoddard — Thu, 25 Apr 2019 19:19:44 +0000

Last time in this breakdown series, I covered the back half of the new subclasses, and came away with a more positive outlook on Morgrave Miscellany as a whole. This time, we’re moving into the other areas of setting and rules content. Barbarian – Fighter | Monk – Wizard | Cultures – Dragonmarks Talenta I’ve always loved the idea of Talenta’s dinosaur-riding halflings, though they haven’t featured in either of the Eberron campaigns I’ve played. In this section, there’s flavor text […]
