>Previously, on /5eg/ Let's discuss Xanathar's guide to everything. Specifically, the fact that almost every bit of content we'll see there has appeared in Unearthed Arcana in one way or another. Now, some classes have changed, but at least half the book is something you already read, for free.
How do you feel about it? Personally, I'm not sure. It seems like a bad thing - since everything was playtested, nothing is really new, but then I remember SCAG - and how Battlerager and Purple Dragon Knight were not playtested, and predictably they turned out to be crap. I'd rather see familiar content than bad content, you know what I'm saying?
Yeah. I'm fine with having a book that's just full of revised versions of the more popular and cooler subclasses from UA. Helps make them more official, fun, and balanced.
Plus the book does have some other stuff.
Owen Ortiz
It's fine. I'd be mad if they released new Ranger in a book that you have to pay, or if they publish something in two books but one is a revised version so now the other book is invalid (eg Purple Dragon Knight v2 in XGE) etc etc.
Ayden Turner
Some people commented already and I've found a good solution, but I'm still looking for potential ideas.
Kevin Thomas
Yeah. Anything that's revised for balance reasons should ideally be in a free PDF to admit that they screwed up.
Angel Hill
I recognize this scene but the line and where it's from escapes me

After taking a long hard second look at the purple dragon Knight, it's not a bad of class as originally thought. It's very much a team-player fighter with out of combat usefulness.

Reposting from last thread. Need some feedback on this. I've been converting 3.5 monsters to 5th edition. Decided to take a break and make a few of my favorite MtG cards into 5e monsters. So let me know what you think. I really liked this card and always thought it'd be a good monster.
Also, I am taking requests for 3.5 monsters you'd like to see converted to 5e. I've got a long list of my favorites that I am working on converting, but I figured I'd get some more "practice" by taking requests. If you request a monster, I'll get it done within a week, and post it on thirdtofifth.tumblr.com where I've been collecting them.

It's the finalized official version of everything they've put out to test, I think it's great that it's all in one book like this.
I'm just wary about these final versions still being out of balance. Mostly worried about them being too watered down. The ranger "revision" already sounds like disappointment.
Gabriel Brown
I'm just happy to have mechanics for buying, selling, and making magic items after three years of that bullshit "no magic item economy" bullshit
