Artificer: the Eberron “father” talks!
There's a new version of #Eberron's Artificer up on Unearthed Arcana & I share my thoughts in my latest blog! #DND https://t.co/YW0TliIwOt

@HellcowKeith's opinion on the latest UA Artificer @mikemearls @JeremyECrawfordThe latest Unearthed Arcana presents a new version of the Artificer for 5E D&D. Right from the start, there’s a few things to note.
This is a work in progress. They say at the outset that it’s a rough concept that hasn’t been refined or fully tested. They’re presenting it because they want feedback, not because they think it’s perfect.
This isn’t designed for Eberron. The word “Eberron” never comes up in the article or introduction. The existence of an artificer class is obviously useful for Eberron, but this isn’t specifically designed with Eberron in mind; it’s an artificer that could exist in any setting, and that thus works with the general “magic items are rare” assumption of 5E D&D.
I haven’t tried it out. I’m juggling a lot of projects right now, and I haven’t had a chance to review the class in depth. Dragonmarks: The Evolving Artificer https://t.co/M4GQVr2tFD— Nicolás Carrillo-S. (@NicolasCS) January 10, 2017
@NicolasCS @HellcowKeith @JeremyECrawford good points there!

Stranger Things 2 in Barovia Ravenloft ?
Strangers!
Seems that the original Ravenloft module adventure, that inspired Curse of Strahd, will have a part in the next Stranger Things 2 series. Take a closer look (as described in the Forbes article) and you’ll find the Ravenloft module, then the title “Halloween” could help wondering… will Strahd appear?

My Big Bad Guy is a cambion with 13 levels of wizard. How do we calculate CR/XP?
@MCSportsSwami @JeremyECrawford In case I missed it…say my Big Bad Guy is a cambion with 13 levels of wizard. How do we calculate CR/XP? treat him like a new creature, use DMG guidelines to find CR based on stats #wotcstaff
— (((Mike Mearls))) (@mikemearls) January 10, 2017
@MCSportsSwami @JeremyECrawford for instance, ogre barbarian in my game – just compared offense and defense vs. CR guide in DMG #wotcstaff

If a player is infected with lycanthropy…
@ChrisPerkinsDnD if a player is infected with lycanthropy, would they gain the resistance to none silvered/magical weapon in human form?
— Walter bowen (@SpellSlinger91) January 17, 2017
The sidebar on p. 207 of the Monster Manual covers this. The damage immunities gained by the character apply regardless of form. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/NaxscNpwxz
— Christopher Perkins (@ChrisPerkinsDnD) January 17, 2017
@ChrisPerkinsDnD @SpellSlinger91 Does this apply just to lycanthropy, or to other shapeshifters (i.e. wild shape druid)
— Eric Wilson (@woll3Y) January 17, 2017
The question and answer pertain to lycanthropy and nothing else. #WOTCstaff https://t.co/jZ4LV908nj
