Cover's coming along nicely, too!

I'm pretty much with @Ruin Explorer on this one. If we see Dark Sun it'll be vaguely reminiscent of the original setting with all culpability erased. They'll try to write it from the "Rewritten history" perspective of the Sorcerer Kings where there was "Something Bad" which happened to the...

There is no Action Surge in A5e for a reason. The cool part of A5e is you can ask the designers. We all hang out on this forum. Maybe it was just a thoughtless carryover from WotC's design... maybe not.

1) You precast the spell. So if you don't trigger your reaction you used the spell slot. 2) You cannot concentrate on anything else. 3) If your concentration is broken you lose the spell slot and the action and cannot use the reaction. That's a LOT of additional scrutiny piled on. And you can...

WHY? What is the mechanical reason to set up a set of hoops for the Fireball spell or a level 5 cantrip but not Extra Attack? I posit that it does, and it's just overlooked. It states "An Attack" as an example of a readied action. not "Extra Attack" or "The Attack Action" but "An Attack"...

Just makes sense to me that you're readying an attack rather than the attack action. After all, if you ready a spell you've already cast it and you're concentrating on it until you trigger it with a reaction. That's not the normal procedure for casting a spell, why would you use the normal...

Seed Bomb lasts 1 minute with 4 bombs. You're meant to cast it out of combat, hand out bombs, then huck 'em at the start of combat to impose negative effects on your enemies. Mostly Blindness or to create Difficult Terrain, but YMMV. Maybe a 1-turn Grapple is all you really need.

Definitely leaning more Horror or at least a Gothic Darkness theme. Some core conceits we've talked about for the setting: Most of the "Actual Gods" are cosmic horrors you would never want to worship Thaera is the sun goddess. She hangs in the sky like a perpetual solar eclipse that somehow...

Plan is to release the Night of the Knife one-shot and the Campaign Quartet together. Night of the Knife is actually built around these four classes and you'll get some pregens of the iconics. Then use the money off that to do up a longer adventure path if there's enough interest.

The Inquisitor Hands of the Church, Seekers of Corruption, and Healers in Battle. Much like a rogue, inquisitors add damage to their weapon attacks. Unlike the rogue, however, the inquisitor adds half the damage dealt from castigations to their judgement pool. And from that pool they may...
