i hate it because it might as well be an auto-success to the point where when you fail despite it, it feels like it's mocking you. i don't want my class features to mock me. i feel like it'd be better if either it was basically an auto-success, or if it was replaced by slowly getting...

i consider muskets and pistols a little early for steampunk. i usually consider steampunk arms to be more late victorian - repeating rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and weird steam-powered contraptions.

if you get a regular exertion pool you can't get another. so if heralds get a regular exertion pool then a fighter dip doesn't give them a second, even if the herald can spend exertion to cast herald spells. not a major one, just that it kind of removes some of the herald's identity with its...

unfortunately this creates the same problem as the exertion being on a long rest in that now you have to create a multiclassing exemption again so we're back at square one. that said, pb*3 is much less of a problem then converting the spell slots you'd have into exertion to be regained on a...

it'd have to be short, otherwise it's a unique exertion pool and thus an inconsistency that has to be accounted for again.
