Character Customization

Patch 9.2.5 hit the live servers yesterday after a series of maintenance extensions, and like many had presumed, it turns out that there was some hidden content in it.

World of Warcraft debuted in 2004.

One of the ways Tasha's Cauldron of Everything changes up character creation in Dungeons and Dragons is by providing more options -- ways to create that origin you really want for your character, with custom ability score modifiers, background details, and even skills and subclasses.

I've been thinking about character customization and why it's important, and why it's of varying importance depending on who you talk to.

I honestly didn’t even realize Mitch had named yesterday’s Queue the way he did, I was just going with an in-joke for my wife. When I tell her I have to write the Queue for tomorrow she almost always goes and, forcing me to say and the R because it makes her smile and I simply cannot refuse to make her smile, ever.

Anyway, this is the Queue. I’m loving the new customization options so, so much. I am going to run around punching everything.

Here she is, in all her burned face, one dead eye, no more excrements given anger. She is going to punch a lot of ghosts.

This is the Queue. Let’s all get ready to punch ghosts together. A whole glorious expansion of ghost punching.

Oh, and I’m going in for my eye injections tomorrow, so I won’t be reading the replies for a while. I’m sorry about that.

Let me be clear -- the character customization options we're seeing in Shadowlands are wonderful, and I not only enthusiastically support them, I want more, for I am a greedy and covetous soul who always wants more no matter what.

A wide gamut of new customization features are coming to World of Warcraft with the Shadowlands expansion.

Let's speak frankly for a second: We all love to play Barbie with our World of Warcraft characters.

We've talked about Unearthed Arcana here before, focusing on Subclasses to change up how your favorite class plays, but the latest playtest content from Wizards of the Coast for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition is something a little different -- instead of focusing on new subclasses to alter a specific class, it decides instead to give you new feats which can be taken by almost any class (although some wouldn't be very useful for all classes).
