[GAMER2GO Newsroom]

James Wyatt says the tabletop crossover is built as a D&D toolbox with WoW flavor, chosen dungeons, and light-touch boss fights.

Read the full story. What do you think?

the part about cutting it back to level 60 makes sense to me. if they go much higher than that, balance gets messy fast and it stops feeling like a D&D book with WoW flavour, which is clearly the lane they want.

yes and the class paraphrase thing is good for that too. if a priest can still end up in more than cloth, i think it is better than forcing every WoW role into a strict copy that would feel wrong in D&D.

"feels wrong" is doing a lot of work there. for me the bigger question is whether the boss fights stay readable at the table, because if every encounter needs a wiki page to run then the paraphrase idea does not help much.
