"A student of the heavens, the astrologer is a wizened sage whose power is enhanced at night."

"Today we're reviewing all of the attack cantrips in D&D and ranking them from worst to best based on their performance in four categories."

"The Way of the Seven Fonts is the result of a research project into the Eastern concept of the chakras, and draws heavily from that."

"It's funny how close the design team was with this subclass: things are going great and then boom: small thing makes it impossible to use."

Hey Reader! Welcome back to the Zurn blog! Today we're looking at a new sorcerer subclass, with a lineage that descends from a fey...

"Today we're looking at a subclass intended to be used as an NPC, but could be used by players if they are more evil-aligned."

"The Circle of the Guardians marries martial prowess to natural magic to protect the Material Plane from extraplanar forces."

"Based on cultures that used oral traditions to pass on stories, the College of Chanting heavily draws from Homer and the bards of old."

"This subclass is a 'lineage agnostic' sorcerer: you use the magic in your blood to power up your spells and unlock new magical abilities."

"The Blood Acolyte is exactly what it sounds like: a person who serves a deity from any domain so long as the god accepts blood sacrifices."

"This is not 'the best rogue subclass,' but this will be the best subclass for playing a ninja in the game - from a certain point of view."

"The number of illusion spells in the game are lower than other schools of magic. And that's unfortunate because illusion spells are cool."

"For some reason, the game designers must not like the necromancy school of magic, because those spells just underperform at every level."

"The bigger issue with weapons in D&D, though, is that they just aren't as cool as spells, even once you factor in magic items."

"Artificers are by nature tinkerers...but some tinkerers like to experiment with organic material, and the stitchling is the result."

When you start as an alpha, your starting pack will be one CR1/4 creature, two CR1/8 creatures, or four CR0 creatures. You can tame others.

"The issue with Investigation is that it's a catch-all for many things, and thus becomes a default skill to replace other skills."

"The problem is that it doesn't do a lot of the things you'd expect of a monster race, and a number of the features get outpaced quickly."

"We have things that need adjusting, but not actually that much: we need a better thematic presentation of the dragonborn."

"2nd and 3rd level spells are my favorite spells - they have so much flavor and utility to them, and it hurts to see spells like this."
