	~~These same madlads went so far as to expand Maztica to create its own subsetting; [[Anchorome]].~~		{{D&D-Settings}}

	~~Notable features of the 5e Maztica include:~~
	* A completely new class intended to serve as the basis for an updated non-gimped version of the Plumaweaver and Hishnashaper, the ''Artisan'' (unfortunately, it's kind of a lousy class, as it's basically just a wimpier [[Artificer]]).
	* New setting-appropriate subraces for [[Dwarf]] and [[Halfling]] PCs.
	* New [[Tabaxi]] subraces.
	* The [[Quetzaldaun]], a new race of badass [[dragon]]-slaying jungle eaglefolk.
	* No [[Quetzalcoatl]]-inspired [[dragonborn]] subrace, sadly - those are up in [[Anchorome]], for some reason.
	* [[Pluma]] and [[Hishna]] magic subclasses for the [[Wizard]].
	* Eagle Knight and Jaguar Knight subclasses for the [[Paladin]].
	* A new setting-appropriate [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)\|Sorcerous Origin]] and [[Warlock]] patron.
	* A completely brand new form of Maztican native magic; the sea-based [[Teoatl]], which has an appropriate Artisan subclass in the Teoatltamer and is also the basis of the Teoatlcaster Wizard and the Shark Knight Paladin. Yes, you can play a [[Paladin]] who turns into a [[shark]].

	Playing a Maztican native in this book is... kind of terrible.

The [[cleric]]s are underpowered, the only [[wizard]]s are [[rogue]] [[kits]] using [[Pluma]] and [[Hishna]] magic, and the native gear basically sucks compared to the tech that the invaders are using. Yes, it meshes with the story that the Amnish were able to literally run roughshod over the entire Maztican nation because they had better wizards and gear, but it doesn't really encourage you to want to play a local.
