A pretty good improvement on the eonic. Hopefully this is the first of many supplements!

I love all the new lineages, and the improvements since the playtests have been considerable. I’m so glad the goblin, gnoll, and lizardfolk lineages are playable now; I think my players will really enjoy those. And I think the dryad lineage is awesome; the Forest Heart feature in particular feels very reminiscent of the Eldar in Tolkien’s Arda Legendarium. Dhampirs are cool, too. The gnoll and lizardfolk are probably my favourite; can’t wait for ratfolk and ravenfolk in the next Midgard sourcebook.
But the most extreme improvements since the playtest have to do with the eonic lineage. Honestly, when the eonic playtest first came out, I didn’t much care for it, and I wasn’t planning on even mentioning it to my players. In the playtest, the Wizened Flesh feature was basically a penalty to persuasion and exhaustion for wearing armour, so it really didn’t make the lineage appealing. Now, however, not only is the artwork for the eonic lineage a lot cooler-looking (especially for a player character), but the new and improved Wizened Flesh feature has replaced all those detriments with the ability to survive twice as long without food, air, water, or sleep. The new version of the eonic is super cool, honestly, and I’m now thinking of ways to incorporate them into my homebrew campaign.
The whole slew of new heritages, as well as the Vampire Hunter background, are all great as well.
I highly recommend this supplement to all players and GMs.

An excellent supplement. I hope there are many more Lineage & Heritage supplements to come, because they really do add a dimension of creativity to the character creation process.
