Said over 2 years ago and I do not believe it will happen. They will not implement grappling combat. How about flying? Have you seen any flying mages?
Of course I could be wrong. Larian can positively surprise me. Have you seen mounted combat on horses (some Githyanki riding Red Dragons due to Tiamat she is a very Evil Dragon Goddess and has a pact with Githyanki that worhsip her (most or all Red Dragons worship her) to fight the Mindflayers exist in the world, but they are an exception). All red Dragons certainly do not serve Githyanki, but in that case they are more like neutral and do not attack Githyanki since they are not interested to anger the Dragon Goddess Tiamat that is very evil indeed the other races (Githyanki exception) Tiamat considers mainly as food. If Tiamat would ever enter Forgotten realms get access there that might very well be compared to Doomsday at least if Tiamat get her wishes done and the races have threat of possible extinction or slavery under merciless Dragon rule. Well and perhaps many would fight her Tiamat like a last grand stand or guerilla warfare, but she is very powerful even among Gods.
Where are the horses and mounted combat? Horse in medieval time is roughly as important as a car is nowadays for many people in the real modern world. There is a goblin riding some kind of wolf, but when combat starts they fight separately and no mounted combat.
Well and how about so unclear spells like Wish or something simliar? If they are in then they need to invent something that will happen and not anything player wants. All those abstract things remove them or define what they are yes hahaaa
I agree that even in the event they add all spell schools and domains, that there will be spells you want missing from those those domains and spell schools. Other features will simply not exist, and to some degree, that is understandable, but what we do get should conform to 5E rules.
As for Tiamat, she would find her stay in the Realms powerfully contested. While the chromatic dragons would flock to her banner, nearly all of the metalic dragons would stand in oposition to her. Most of the metalic dragons would join those opposed to Tiamat. Add in the gods, demi-gods, and proxies of good and neutrality throwing their weight into the scrum and she would not have anything close to a clear victory. Then their is her personal nemesis Bahamut. While he may not be able to access the Realms as well, if she loses, he would be able to take advantage of that loss in other realms. It would be a bold and reckless move on Tiamats part to attempt an invasion of a Prime Material World like Faerun that could easily throw her power base into disarray, and eventually lead to her destruction by her own enemies. Gods CAN die on prime worlds. This is the primary reason that evil gods don't just decend on prime worlds and wreak havok.
