There's a new Unearthed Arcana in town! "The bard receives a new Bardic College feature: the College of Eloquence. Additionally, the paladin gains a new Sacred Oath feature: the Oath of Heroism."
Give me an Old Empires supplement or give me death.Might have them hail from Faerun's Old Empires --- maybe one of the Mighty Sons of Gilgeam the God-King?
I decided that the Paladin of Heroism talks like some combination of Thor, Drax, and Lothar of the Hill People. Might have them hail from Faerun's Old Empires --- maybe one of the Mighty Sons of Gilgeam the God-King?
Nate Stewart in January's Spoilers & Swag was asked did there would be more Magic in D&D: his response was that they hadn't known about how successful Ravnica would be early enough to pull the trigger on a 2019 Magic D&D book (!), but that more would be coming soon. They will do more Magic books for D&D eventually, whatever product these tests are for: but three UA in a row for high-magic options that read like Mana themed pairs is interesting.
You know, GIlgamesh was Crawford's go-to Oath of Heroism example for the Dragon+ stream about this article.
I mean, Peerless Athlete is close to objectively worse than certain Rogue traits
Just want to put a sort-of transcript of Nathan Stewart's actual comments, as it could be interpreted as referring to setting books in general as opposed to Magic settings specifically.
(timestamp 1 hour 2 minutes)
"How was Ravnica recieved?... Ravnica by the way has been received really well, I can tell you it has been one of the best-selling adventures on D&D Beyond. Fastest selling for sure. So that's cool, we've seen great success around the thing, which we deem as being well-received. So will we be doing more? Yes you will be seeing new settings, I don't know if we'll be doing any new settings this year because of schedules, but yes we are committed to doing it. The problem is we wanted to wait and see how Ravnica was received before we committed to which, and because of its late time release on there, we couldn't like go "Yes that's awesome, put out a new one in six months," so we will be doing more but maybe not this year."
The word "Magic" actually isn't said once in that entire transcript, and although the question is about Ravnica's success, Nathan took that question and answered it like it was about setting books. I find his question of timeline especially interesting, as he says they weren't able to do a new setting in six months but were thinking about doing one that year (this was said in January, so this year 2019), which I think means at that time they were deciding whether or not to release Eberron's Last War book in 2019 (which they eventually decided to do).
That said, that doesn't mean that the next setting won't be a Magic setting. All this says is that we should expect more setting books; whether it is Planescape, something from Magic, or something else seems up-in-the-air.
