Reviews

[Arthur B]

Short and sweet additional rules with an eye on the Princes of the Apocalypse campaign's themes. However, this product is now comprehensively redundant: if you want the extra PC races, they're in Monsters of the Multiverse, if you want the extra spells they're in Xanathar's Book of Everything, and that's pretty much all it has to offer.

A worthwhile free expansion that brings in new characters and spells. It's all well explained and beefs up the overall experience and expands the options. I just wish there had been a little more meat to it.

Extra elemental-themed races and spells - for free? Yes please!

[Ben Nealis · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 Stars. At the time of its release this was a fantastic free supplement that added new races and supported the Princes of the Apocalypse campaign. It is still nice to have around and I personally keep a copy next to my phb to this day but all the information found within that is useful to players has been reprinted. Still, it is free and chock full of nice information I keep a couple copies on hand for new players when I introduce them to Dungeons & Dragons.

Fun options, the best thing to come out of PotA

A tiny little print-on-demand version of an online supplement, this is technically the only dedicated official rules expansion we have for the D&D 5th Edition game at this point. Anyway, it's short, but it does have four neat race write-ups and a selection of neat new elemental spells. Very good stuff, just unfortunately brief... (A-)
