Not sure if anyone has talked about this but just curious where people stand topic. When it comes to the newer subclasses, instead the feature starting as something like "Starting at X level," or any other variant of that. WotC has moved to doing a header like snippet displaying what level the feature is at, leaving them room to having a cleaner sounding flavor blurb. Has anyone switched to this new method for their homebrews? For me I haven't, but that could just be because it's what I'm use to but I know that people try to replicate the same, if not similar format that WotC uses to make their stuff look more official.
I have not switched yet myself, most likely out of force of habit. I agree that the new way leaves the language cleaner, but it looks uglier on in the entry so I’m not sure how sold I am on it yet.
I've started to transition to this format, but it's going to take awhile to get used to. I also agree that it makes it cleaner, but it normally makes the entries take up more space. I wish there was some way to make this automatically inputted to the subclass homebrewer of this site.
I don't have that much of an opinion of this change, I think its fine.

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
I use the Tasha's format a lot now, as I feel it's more streamlined, easier to use, and I find it oddly good-looking - which is, of course, controversial. I can understand the allure of the older ones though as they can be easier to write and are more engaging.

Honestly, when I've first made this post I was on the fence but now I exclusively use the new format. I've even made updates for some of my older homebrews just so I could use the new formatting.
I started to switch when the Theros book came out, and I do all of my subclass like that now. I think this new formatting is clearer and also looks better. I also made updates on a few of my older homebrew to convert them to this format.
I’m super glad you posted in this thread as I have been thinking about it lately and didn’t feel like digging for it.
I have made the switch to the new format. Not only is it easier to phrase things without having to force “Begging at Xth level” into the description, it’s also a lot easier for the occasions when I decide to move a feature from one level to another while ‘brewing.
