An interesting point arose in the artificer forums, with the so-called "tweaking" of the artificer as well as its general new-ness. Mainly: are there going to be CFVs for the artificer as well, which will go entirely untested due to the timing of the book and DDB's total inability to model CFVs, or is the artificer stuck as-is? I'm pretty sure the "tweaking" is going to amount to nothing more than culling any mention of Eberron or Eberron-specific ideas from the class, but I am rather curious how CFVs and artificers will interact, if at all.
I would love some new unique infusions. As is more than half the lists I ever make end up being replicated items. I would look forward to a couple new unique things my Artificers could make.
Just curious what two books Jeremy Crawford was meaning when he said "To rectify that, we’ve not only made changes to Curse of Strahd, but in two upcoming books, we will also show — working with a Romani consultant — the Vistani in a way that doesn’t rely on reductive tropes,”
One of the books (based on logic) will be the one with the College of Spirits Bards in it, which I don't think will be in this book. This book could be the one they're talking about, but currently, we don't know.

Isn’t Tasha supposed to be Vistani?
I've never heard that.

No. She is from Oerth and was raised by Baba Jaga in the Feywild.

I honestly believe the we will be getting a full Ravenloft Campaign setting book in the near future
The Vistani could be mentioned in this book, but I doubt it. That makes the two books be a Ravenloft campaign that will have the Spirits Bard and Undead Warlock, and one more book that is probably unannounced (all of this is my speculation).

That sucks too because PHB+1 is probably the most restrictive and unfun thing about Adventurers League.
It's a weird rule for 5E, too. It would have made sense in 3rd edition when there were about a million and a half splatbooks, but given that 5E only has about ten books with player character content it's overkill.
well its apparently not becuase of unintended combinations, like i have always thought, but rather just to make looking shit up easier
"[text describing the phb +1 rule]. This restriction enshures that players don't need to own a lot of books to make a character and makes it easier for DM's to know how all the characters in the campaign work. Since DM's in a shared campaign must deal with a broad range of characters, rather than the same characters each week, it can be difficult to track all the interactions and abillities possible through mixing all the options freely"
To illustrate what they mean, imagine in the future that the blood hunter, roughly as it is on dnd beyond currently, releases in some future rules supplement, and i (being a nasty trickster) make an wonderfully edgy 7th level blood hunter of the profane soul (fiend) who is predictably an tiefling of the zariel bloodline with the flames of pheletegros racial feat. I could then use their Pact Magic to cast green flame blade, which would activate the flame aura of the flames of pheletegros feat so that creatures who attack me take 1d4 fire damage, and then since i cast an cantrip i could use the 7th level mystic frenzy feature to make an melee attack as an bonus action. If you wanted to verify any of those details such as if the green flame needs a second spell attack to hit a second target, if the retributive fire damage needs an reaction, if i can take the bonus action before casting, etc we would have three sepperate sourcebooks to consult, the scag (or nowadays TCoA), XGtE, as well as the blood hunter supplement, oh yeah and i forgot to mention how i get to reroll 1's on spells that deal fire damage, like this is by no means an broken character but it has plenty of moving parts despite being an single classed character, and you would need to consult multiple sourcebooks constantly to double check what each thing does and for the DM to get an overview of what this character is all about, which i assume is key in an AL game (no idea, not played in AL yet)
Funny you should use that example. I'm actually running a Blood of Zariel Tielfling with the Flames of Pheletegros feat who likes casting Green Flame Blade in a game right now. Not a Blood Hunter, though.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
Hey guys, I saw an early copy of the book. There is a 5th level spell called Psionics and when you cast it, it lets you shoot a purple beam out of your head. Only monks get it.

And sine we can’t block portions of a book on DDB, that means I either get no CFV’s or I have to specifically police certain things. Mother F****r!!!!
Any thoughts on possible spells added to the artificer list from the UA or in the CFV section? Dragon's breath and Tenser's floating disk are the ones that come to mind at first.
I'd love more 1st and 2nd level options for Spell-Storing Item. Like Silence or Mirror Image, for example.

I think they're going to have to be stuck playing catch-up to some extent, but they'll at least include artificer in the CFVs that all classes get, and they'll drop an extended spell list, maybe cantrip versatility. Heck, that's all wizards got in the CFV.

Not that unreasonable, considering this is art from the book.

Hi, I find it strange that it has not yet been pre-ordered on D & d beyond. Why? Should I be worry? Thanks.
