I think it's a lot more involved than even that. You have to then check the ability against every other class, subclass, feat, monster, etc. in the game to make sure it plays nice with them. That's a lot of time and effort. Now multiply it by I'm guessing dozens of 3rd party classes and...

It's hard to go wrong with the Conan soundtrack. Last of the Mohicans is also pretty good.

No, no. "What has it got in its nasty little pocketses?" "Bless us and splash us, my preciouss!" And then HR got involved.

The Aftermath. The story of the Mandalorians in the months after the purge. The first episode could start with the purge itself.

Could be High Republic. :p

Luke: "Your thoughts betray you, father. I feel the good in you, the conflict." Vader: "And now HR is involved."

Or when the War of the Roses broke out.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing. And now HR is involved."
