New Feats: Knights of Solamnia | Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queeen | D&D

[@LiquidFranz]

Knights of Salami. The sword cuts the salami, the Rose flavors the salami, the crown commands us to eat the salami. And then there was the cataclysm. Where the actions of Lord Soth caused a salami shortage.

[@tmacm2237]

Elven survivor should be a background for qualinesti and silvanesti elves

[@justinwatson16]

Post War of the Lance and Post War of Souls, there was a Knight of High Sorcery, so to speak. White Robed Wizards could become auxiliaries to the Knights called Kingfishers.

Really looking forward to running this and returning to the world of Krynn!

[@mach6794]

God I'm so glad this is gonna have Lord Soth in it, that's the homie

[@drake8281]

Excited to steal from this for my dragon campaign in my homebrew world!

[@maggintons]

Man I really want a Wallpaper version of that art at the end of the video..

[@sixstringsamurai89]

Love Dragonlance my favorite setting.

[@davekelders283]

Currently playing a Fighter/Cavalier with Knight of Solamnia background. Currently on my way to become 7th level and i have to say i really enjoy it.

[@kmoustakas]

Good cause my renegade sorcerer arrived here from Taladas! Minotaur or Irda, that's the question.

[@jgr7487]

"we made the encounters harder than normal", but they also made the PCs stronger from the get go, thus everything changes so nothing does change

[@netenes1]

Will it lack content and rules like Spelljammer?

[@KnicKnac]

I know nothing about this setting just hoping it has more content than Spelljammer.

[@josephbeckett2330]

It doesn't. Actually, to be fair, I don't have Spelljammer, as I heard it was really bad. But, this is basically an adventure that offers a few minimal handouts with Dragonlance names, but lacking any significant flavor.

[@LordMorin]

After the Spelljammer fiasco, I’ll never pre-order again unless I have seen what I will get. When/if I do purchase this book, I will be interest to see if the current One D&D will be compatible, or if One D&D if send it the way of the dodo come 2024.

[@Leondragon06]

fiasco?

[@jackofalltrades1594]

What fiasco?

[@KnicKnac]

Spelljammer was a bit light on content along with a few other things.

[@laughingpanda4395]

This book comes in around 30 pages less than Tomb of Annihilation which was pretty expansive in its sandbox style. This one is during the war of the lance so I'm expecting lots of large battles and operations that border some of the large battles. Spelljammer was never a huge part of d&d. More a fringe play setting that never was very popular back in the AD&D days. I was suprised to hear they were trying it again. I've been a huge fan of the dragonlance books so I'm eager to see it return. Cautiously optimistic might be the best way to put it.

[@James-ht6fd]

I’m very down for free feats, it makes it feel more customized

[@damongraham1398]

I was really disappointed that WotC did not include the Kingfishers. My very first PC's goal will be, if not the first Kingfisher, part of that first cadre.

[@johnpiernicky8674]

Another thing about the art when it comes to the Knights: What is up with them not having their distinctive, iconic mustaches? A true knight of Solamnia would have epic mustaches that they would grow and groom and cultivate. Show the true knights artwork, for Kiri-Jolith's sake!

[@peacekeeper1975]

Hopefully they ditched that. Never liked it. Even in the 80s.

[@jacobdriscoll8276]

So a character built with these rules that doesn't participate in the standard adventure is just more powerful? How do I design my own encounters and adventures for characters made with this book? How do I approximate challenge for them?

[@kevinfallick7690]

Where is Weis and Hickman?

[@Zierohour1]

No wait.. go back.. I want to hear more about the Knights of High Sorcery!

[@ChaseL16357]

See, I'm not fully sold on the background feats. I don't want my background to have any major mechanical advantage. It's fun flavour and I think by loosing out of the background feats like By Popular Demand, Criminal Contacts, Shelter of Faith etc, it kinda loosing the roleplay part of the role-playing game. Background I found what helped new players roleplay, now they feel like they cut the race into two sections and replaced the background with the ability score improvement and a feat.

[@o_double_t_o]

It’s funny watching Todd ask questions about Dragonlance lore. He probably could have just flipped through the book and elaborated on it’s content. P.S. How will Clerics work in the adventure?

[@AuntieHauntieGames]

I expect that, since the campaign seems to focus on the battles of the War of the Lance, the gods will be active again. Clerics will be 'new' but it sounds like they will start with their divine powers returned to them.

[@denzelpanther240]

@@AuntieHauntieGames thats the only unique feature of the setting gone

[@MrGalagoth]

@@AuntieHauntieGames if it starts at the beginning of the war of the lance their the gods would still not be there

I deadpan read "Knights of Salame" in the thumbnail...

[@jamesrichardson3322]

I would like play a Knight of Solamnia ( Knight of the Crown 👑) , Fighter, Variant Human. I would try redeem the Knights of Solamnia.

[@piztrix]

go Queeen! title is great!!

[@user-uc6kc8hn5s]

Why not just say everyone gets extra feats?

[@alvarosierralta5569]

Lmao i didnt read the part where they chose a feat, i just made the combat easier, im just before Vogler's siege, so its not that bad. Just gave them a feat to choose rn (lvl 3)

[@silvergiovanni2658]

Ok, but do they have Bonds/ideals/flaws, or are those still missing like Strixhaven or Spelljammer

[@CharlesKhan]

Lord Soth did nothing wrong.

[@tobinmelroy2065]

Other than cheat and then murder his first wife. Then abandoned his quest for atonement, his chance at redemption and a second chance given to him by the gods, because of jealousy and and revenge to accuse his new wife of infidelity. But other than that, yeah he didn't do anything wrong. ;-)

[@corazaiba9815]

Shadow of the Dragon QueEeEeeEEEen

[@Mat23]

Excited to try out the book - all these one d&d changes feel very close to 4E… but we’ll see where it goes. Hoping for the best. ☮️ ❤️

[@indieblue5246]

4e ruled. It had it's issues but the game was very well designed. My favorite part though is you can tell who actually played 4e because the similarities are hair thin. 5e also borrowed a great deal from 4e too, they just relabeled a lot of it.

[@stevenpekrul9647]

How bout Knights of Takhisis?

[@johnpiernicky8674]

I don't like how they pronounce Solamnia. They say it like "So-lamb-neeya". I don't like that. I've always said "So-lahm-niya". The word appears to be closer to Latin origins, which would mean that the pronunciation would be closer to what I believe it is.

[@shakostarsun]

I'm reading from source material only humans or half elves can be knights of Solamnia why does WOTC not acknowledge that how the heck is a dwarf a knight of Solamnia?? Solamnia is a human nation.

Waiting for this one. Going to be making some detail changes to make it fit into my campaign world but lots about Krynn fits with something I am doing.

[@dragonboyjgh]

4:23 Is it me or is there like, a really, really strong parallel between Lord Soth and the Knights of Solamnia and Darth Vader and the Jedi? For that matter, there's a lot of Similarity between White Robe/Jedi and Black Robe/Sith.

[@TarikZeraoui]

No, is you.

[@shakostarsun]

I don't think anyone making this stuff for Dragonlance has actually read the books.

[@sbyrum]

None of the knights in the pictures have mustaches WTF?

[@dustinbush3698]

When are we getting the playtest for the other classes for one dnd?

[@LordMorin]

I am hoping there is enough bad reviews from the survey that they drop the whole One D&D concept. As is, I’ll either be sticking with 5e or going over to Pathfinder 2. It is also feat based, but they provide for high level play and aren’t leeching decades of lore out of their game trying to make it ‘socially’ correct.

[@dustinbush3698]

@@LordMorin True enough bro. I just wanna see how the hell the mages will leave us lowly warriors in the dirt out of curiosity.

[@jackofalltrades1594]

[@fadedshadeTV]

Its a shame you didnt make an actual campaign setting, the amount of homebrew you have to make to make Dragonlance actually work as a world is staggering. But i guess if you just inherit an IP, you might not actually know the IP you bought, before trying to make money from it.

[@pyredynasty]

Knighty knight

[@lindarkknight4044]

Backgrounds giving you a feat... Sounds like pf2e lol. Come full circle i guess Pathfinder mimicking D&D now it's the other way around.

[@KnicKnac]

3.X gave you feats at level one too. So they are just using an old idea.

[@josephbeckett2330]

Huh? The Knights of the Sword where the religious ones. They where the classic Cleric archtype, described as fighting with their mace in one hand and their faith in the other. The Knights of the Crown where the more martial, infantry arm of the Knights of Solomnia., fighting as a group. I mean all of them fought as a group, but the Knights of the Crown where clearly the warrior branch. The Knights of the Rose where the political and stratigical branch. It was the most esteemed of the three, sort of, because one typically had to rise high in the other two orders, grow older and wiser, and learn to lead others in order to actually be admitted into the third branch. It was a hierarchy, in a sense. One entered the Knighthood as a Knight of the Crown. From there, you could continue within the Order of the Crown or branch off to the Order of the Sword, depending on your particular philosophy, attitude, and talents. One who had been a Knight of the Crown, advanced into the Knight of the Sword could then petition to become a Knight of the Rose. The three orders where completely equal, but had different focuses and abilities. This is common knowledge about the Dragonlance setting.

[@hawkthetraveler6344]

PLEASE keep the weird modern anachronistic identity politics out of this, I'm BEGGING you. Please don't take something beautiful & classic only to muck it up with instantly-dated virtue signaling around which you have to warp the setting beyond recognition. You have no idea how much of the 5e stuff has these "cringe" moments where I have to explain to younger folks I'm running adventures for that "Oh, yeah, a few years back this was a hot button issue..." or "Yeah, I mean, you're right, it doesn't make any sense for [human ethnicity X] to be in this setting, but, uh..." Make awesome NEW settings to do that stuff in. Don't let 5e just be a bunch of rehashed skinsuits.

[@ferrous3869]

I could dive deep into how massively cringey it is to be unable to imagine racial differences in a game about monsters and magic, but instead I'll leave you with this - stay mad

[@denzelpanther240]

I loved the dragonlance books as a kid. I always got them from the library, not even knowing that they were related to dnd. Yet i have no interest in the setting for the game. Everything besides eberron feels just like the same bland fantasy

[@josephbeckett2330]

The sheer lack of just about anything Dragonlance but the very weak and uninspired Backgrounds and horrible Dragonlance weapon makes be very disappointed in this book thus far. Might as well be just another crappy Forgotten Realms 4/5E book.

[@sonic064]

The more I watch each video, Im convinced they dont understand the setting and this is a big RED flag.

[@0Corin]

Agreed. These people probably haven’t ever even seen a TSR logo on a book.

I was trying to be cautiously optimistic. Then he referred to Lord Soth with gender-neutral pronouns and I just gave up.

Seems to weird thing to qq about, especially given the many other deep lore changes they're making to make this cool setting as generic as the forgotten realms just like everything else LOL, and I think he's actually talking about the Order when he said they, you got salty over this?
