I’m surprised there wasn’t anything referencing eclipses or blood moons.
Ooh, blood magic would've been fun too
For those of you that may not have read Dragonlance coming up, the Wizards of High Sorcery were NOT "moon priests" or "lunar" themed casters.
They were arcane mages. It's just that in Krynn, the flow of magic is controlled by the three gods of magic (Solinari, Lunitari, and Nuitari) who were embodied in the three moons of the same name. The lunar cycles affected how much power you were able to channel at any given time, but that was about the extent of it.
To be thinking of these casters in the same way that you would think of natural/primal casters with a moon theme is cool and all, but it's not what the Wizards of High Sorcery were in the original source material.
I'm all for anyone flavoring their own character that way (I'm a SLAVE to the flavah!) but to think that WotC dropped the ball on this subclass would be a fundamental misunderstanding of the original lore. That said, I WOULD have added the Moonbeam spell to their list. That feels like an oversight made in good faith.
(PS: That's probably the ONLY time you'll hear me defend WotC. LOL!)
Great clarification, thank you!
@@TheClericCorner Sure thing, Mister R!
LOVE your suggestions for how to spice this up, by the way. Arcane magic in the DL books was pretty standard, so leaning into the lunar feel of things a bit more is an upgrade, in my opinion.
As always, thou dost bringeth the SPICE! 🤩
I just about wrote this exact same post.
But was the Lunar Sorcerer always meant to be inherently tied to Dragonlance from its UA inception? I was under the impression it launched with dragonlance because they'd been working on the subclass and it fit with dragonlance.
Please make an actual Lunar Magic Sorcerer! I have been thinking about making a moon related character for a while now and it would be perfect :D
Feel free to use my primal idea if you do! I'd love to see your interpretation!
They should’ve taken more time on this subclass to make it flavorful by adding spells like moonbeam, faerie fire and darkness. That would be cool if the subclass made sickles do d8 damage instead of d4 like shillelagh.
the UA had those spells but the changed all the list on the final and WTF Moon sorcerer without moonbeam is a sacrilege
@@victorvicg AMEN
Allow me to empart some Dragonlance lore upon you (since WotC felt they didnt with this book)
...The Moon's of Krynn serve the High Gods, they are kinda Gods themselves...
The fact that they didnt give the Lunar Sorceror Moonbeam as a "power attack" akin to the Warlock's Eldritch Blast, and have it scale up as they grow higher in level...like they have in Dragonlance...is just astonishing!
The Lunar Sorcery is also poorly designed for Dragonlance, and seems designed more for Forgettable Realms; just like the Artificer was.
As I said, Krynn has/had 3 moons, who are Gods, so not only which Moon you are aligned with matter, but it would also influence your spells/powers based on that Moon/God too. But...WotC didnt do that either! Instead, they made "Generic Von Genericson" subclass, which doesn't really fit with Dragonlance at all!
*sigh*
These aren't Setting Books of the different worlds of the D&D Multiverse... these are just Adventure books with bland, generic subclasses that dont connect with the Setting they're ment to be from...
Flint Fireforge has more character and personality in his pinky finger, then any character ever made for the Forgotten Realms...
They took f***ing moonbeam away from Lunar Sorcerer's in the official release... MOONBEAM.
In the original dragonlance there was a moon calendar that will add or subtract upto 2 caster levels that would be like upping a spell level
Whoa no way?? Feels like a DLC to me 😂
@@TheClericCorner aren't al the realm books DLC
If you could make an colaboration with one DnD UA-camr of your choice, who would you pick?
The UA Lunar Magic Table was SOOOOOO much better. The new ones have near ZERO moon flavor!
fr there's nothing on theme with this subclass. it felt so thematically blank when i looked at it and i honestly do not feel remotely compelled to play it. every thematic choice just feels completely random.
