Re: New Eberron Book Today
"A monster in the right hands", in a good way or a bad way? Are there any specific combos you have in mind that wouldn't work just as well via regular multiclassing or (Bard) Magical Secrets? At level 9 you are only one level away from a 5/5 split anyway, with giving you roughly twice as much spellcasting. Are you thinking of something like Conjure Animals V?
What I'm asking is, do you see this as a balance problem (overpowered subclass/power creep) or just a fun and different subclass with lots of versatility?
I don't think Maverick is a problem personally, but I'm open to examples of brokenness if they exist.Last edited by MaxWilson; 2020-08-10 at 03:14 PM.

Re: New Eberron Book Today
monster as in neigh impossible to truly shutdown.
nothing broken so far. having two lv 4 castings of Spirit weapon or two lv 5 spirit guardian at lv 9 is pretty nice approach but being able to up cast counterspell up to 5 times a day could be clutch in campaigns with loads of casters and it works well with flash of genius if you do miss judge what minimum spell slot you needed. of course conjure X with up casting is worth a look but i've never like mass summoning but its there.
The best part is you can completely change your playstyle every single time you prepare spells.Last edited by stoutstien; 2020-08-11 at 07:23 AM.

Re: New Eberron Book Today
Let me give one specific example of what makes this book so great: Limbo.
Exploring Eberron does a fantastic job of making Limbo (under a different name) fun: giving it interesting physical properties, making slaad culture interesting, and explaining why Githzerai hang out in Limbo and what interacting with them there is like. Even if you have no intention of ever running Eberron you should still read this chapter and steal ideas from it.
