The guy does some of the most comprehensive D&D lore videos I've ever seen. Many of them even go into details not documented in ANY of the actual game books, such as his video on Asmodeus, mentioning that Asmodeus is just a puppet entity, an Avatar controlled by an ancient wounded god-like tita...

5e Paladins aren't tied to lawful alignment, and Oath of the Ancients is basically Eilistraee's teachings but paraphrased, so yeah.

That's pretty much my situation as well. I'm just tired of this state.

Yeah, he could have mentioned that Eilistraee has worked to welcome males in her clergy, and now she has priests of any gender. Also, he says that males couldn't be paladins, but they actually already could in 2e.ù I mean, since he went to the FRWiki (he quotes some of the stuff I wrote for the Eili...

Someone posted a datamine of the upcoming paladin options. Apparently, they didn't go for the 5e oaths, and tied each paladin subclass to a deity. Seems that Eilistraee gets her own subclass. I'm... surprised that this is happening, tbh. I thought WotC was going to disregard her forever. Though I'm ...

The game looks pretty cool if you ask me. Thanks for sharing, Shir'le.

Quick update. I've bought the game but haven't been able to play it yet (hangs on a black screen when starting). It's early access, bugs are to be expected. This morning forumites found a very weird work-around for it (press-and-hold shift while right-clicking the executable and select "run as...

Well, it is nice to actually have the option to be a drow finally.... but, well... From this little teaser of what they are doing with the Drow in game, kind of seem like something Wizard might have mandated them to do. They have really hated the other drow deities for a long while now and having &...

The latters’ treachery drove the drow into the Underdark, where they splintered into warring factions. Seldarine drow can be found seeking allies from all over Faerûn, aiming to settle their conflict with Lolth - and each other - by any means necessary. Clearly appears to indicate the Dark Seldarin...

The only thing 5e introduces about the drow are Corellon's blessed. They're normal drow, but can change sex at will. They're introduced in the MToF book, the very same book that retcons a bunch of stuff about elven lore, and while it has a part dedicated to Eilistraee, it focuses on telling you how ...

Happy Birthday, Shir'le. May Eilistraee always show you beauty where it's the hardest to find, and may all that is broken heal, more precious than it was

It isn't really that surprising. If big companies like Hasbro/WotC can massively screw up on even basic lore continuity *and* have errors in the rules as well, smaller companies will of course have the same kind of troubles. Even though, I must say, this looks more like not caring about putting out ...

It's probably for their adventures. They've repeatedly stated they're not interested in novels.

Actually, they might even rework stuff. The drow/elven history lays the basis for a more nuanced approach. The Crown Wars are not black vs white, they're pretty much dark grey vs dark grey. Instead of being the "eeeeevil guys", the drow could have simply been separated from the elves due t...

Good to see the site back. Thanks, Shir'le.
