Agree on feats -- much more interesting & flavorful. In this instance, I was using the terms interchangeably just to focus on the question of whether prestige classes count as "class" levels for feat/ASI purposes. And fair enough @RangerWickett -- if you're comfortable with them fitting together...

Question about prestige classes in Zeitgeist: how do they affect feat progression? I see effort in the prestige classes to parallel advancement for other abilities (for example, a spellcaster who takes a level of applied astronomer continues their spell casting progression). So if character is...

Got it -- thank you!

In 5e, all the prestige classes except for Vekeshi Excoriant and Urban Empath have a prerequisite of proficiency +3. It seems a bit odd that the last two are missing that consistent requirement, so I’m wondering if there might be a typo. @RangerWickett (or anyone else who would know): is that an...

Awesome -- thank you!

Got it -- and the ability requires the Yerasol Veteran to be adjacent to (or otherwise able to "lift") the PC they're aiding, right?

Hey all -- I'm trying to make sure I understand the "Display of Heroism" ability of the Yerasol Veteran background. Specifically: can it be used to aid an ally that is unconscious/dying? It's an awesome ability that has lead to some awesome saves in combats in our campaign, with the Yerasol...

Interesting corollary question: does an NPC with a feat that means they ignore half cover ignore the +2 AC benefit of "Do you want to live forever?"

Yeah -- that makes sense. It's a perfect fit for the character in this case. "Bones" is the head of our RHC squad, is a veteran of the Yerasol Wars, and wears a magic military uniform that always looks clean and perfectly crisp. Always. So the PCs are coming out of days in the swamps of Risur...

Thanks! Just seemed pretty strong, wanted to make sure I wasn't inflating it...

One of the characters in my Zeitgeist campaign is a veteran of the Yerasol wars, and is shaping up to be the leader of our party. The team is 11th level, and he just took his second level of Monument of War. We're playing 5e. I'm looking at the "Do You Want to Live Forever?" ability, and want to...

My players are deep into adventure 7, and just heavily tipped their hand in a confrontation w/the Ob about where they are and who they're chasing. They think they've found a counterpart associated with the Ob who might be trustworthy, and they gave him a sending stone so they can negotiate...

Hey all, I've got a small group (3 players) that have been running through Zeitgeist -- we're getting close to the end of Adventure 6. I'm trying to pick some one-shots that would evoke the feeling of Zeitgeist for us to mix in when we want to take a break from the main story, and take a break...

Is there a name for the continent/promontory that is the setting for most of the action in WotBS? I’ve looked through the player’s guide and the campaign guide, but don’t see a name beyond those of the specific countries. I’m fairly confident my players will ask, and can make something up, but...

Ah, got it -- I was planning to print them. Dunno if the resolution will be good enough, though.
