I hope you are doing well and PAX Unplugged went well for you. I liked the latest article on Karrnathi undead. Could you be a little more specific on what you are going to say about Crye in your next article?
What is the latest on Morgrave’s Miscellany? The Cyre article is a broad overview, delving further into Cyran culture pre-war and during the war, along with things to think about in developing Cyran characters. The Miscellany is in editing and layout, and I hope it will be out this month.

I assume you are releasing it on the DMs Guild. Is that correct or will it be by some other outlet? That's correct — DM's Guild!

I've always seen undead as "programmed" entities. Almost like a rudimental PC… If they have intelligence (like a lich) then they are closer to Demons.

By that logic if they embody LE as a driving malign intelligence… Does that mean that undead could break control?

The THEORY is that they are animated by the martial spirit of Karrnath and they serve its cause. But can you ever be sure of that?

What’s your take on scarred/dented and otherwise disfigured Warforged considering “…a warforged heals all damage at the end of a long rest. In my mind, this literally involves the body being mystically restored to “factory standard.” “? It's a question of rules vs story. By the rules, a warforged heals all damage after taking a long rest. You COULD see this as mystical regeneration. Personally, I envision a "resting" warforged as performing minor physical repairs: hammering out dents, mending torn ligaments.

So I'm fine with the idea of battle-scarred, dented, or mismatched warforged. I don't think mystical restoration to pristine condition every rest is a compelling story.

Worth noting if I am reading correctly:

Warforged can’t suffer exhaust so they can Frenzy without penalty.

Also, IIRC Heavy Plating Core doesn’t effect Fast Movement as it is integrated.

Maybe @HellcowKeith can confirm if my interpretation is correct. The Wayfinder's Warforged "don’t suffer the effects of exhaustion DUE TO LACK OF REST." So they suffer no penalty for going indefinitely without sleep. But this has no impact on other things that cause exhaustion, such as Frenzy.

I’m reskinning Hoard of the Dragon Queen to be Eberron. Without a hoard or dragons or a queen. Is increasing numbers of aberrant marks a suitable end goal for the daelkyr? I’m looking for an end goal that’s potentially bad but not in a way casually obvious to PCs Sure! One theory is that the daelkyr created the dragonmarks to manipulate the Prophecy; increasing the number of aberrant marks could easily be part of a scheme.

— Keith Baker (@HellcowKeith) November 22, 2018

Is that idea that aberrant marks were the creation of the daelkyr collective or just one? I think it’s unclear whether there is a daelkyr collective. Personally, I’d say that Dyrrn the Corruptor would be directly responsible; whether it was part of a greater plan is an open question.

if i have a kalastar druid, can they speak telepathically in wildshape? Can i live out my childhood dream of becoming an animorph?

As far as I know, yes – a Kalashtar druid would retain the ability to communicate telepathically in wild shape. But I’m not the official word on rules!
