The Dense Smoke sidebar is literally just a reprint of the Dense Smoke encounter element (which the Walking Volcano feature creates) for convenience (the same text can be found on page 49 of Trials and Treasure). But yes, the smoke does impede breathing as well as sight.

Also: a fun note: not this month's but next month's thematic toolkit release will include a berserker/herald synergy feat chain.

New release! Two new archetypes, both based around a volcano theme. Berserkers can now become Magma Ragers who superheat their weapons and take on more lava-like traits over time, including lowered susceptibility to critical hits and eventually the ability to lob volcanic bombs. Heralds can...

That was a funny typo, but fixed. ;)

Hmm. Good point. I'll roll it over in my head a little and see if I can come up with some good future-proofing.

That is some good wording. Do you mind if I swipe it?

You will probably see this again, but it will only appear when one of the classes is a "preparation" caster rather than a "known" one; so cleric, druid, maybe herald, and possibly wizard with additional restrictions in place. It's also likely to always be reserved for the third feat.

The reason for this working the way it does are as follows: Druids, by default, always get full access to their class's entire spell list, so it's not inflating the power of the druid class. You also have to pick and choose with a limited number of choices, which means that you have to balance...

Basically if a spell appears on both the bard and druid lists, and you have a spell slot of the appropriate level, you can prepare it as a druid spell. You're still limited by your usual cap on the number of druid spells prepared, and it has no effect on learning new bard spells. . For example...

This month's Thematic Toolkit release is live! For August, the combination is bard/druid, and I took some (very loose) inspiration from Celtic mythology. Bards can become an Ollave, a bardic priest/historian with an even greater breadth and depth of knowledge and versatility than normal bards...

It's back up!

I agree that it's a bummer that the site isn't back, but I can also say that I know from (extremely recent) personal experience that there seem to be two basic types of tech problems: 1. The ones that can be fixed in 30 minutes or less. 2. The ones that seemingly refuse to die, keep manifesting...

The current maintenance message makes it look like the site collapsed under heavy traffic. If so, that is actually a very good thing, as it means the number of users has increased to the point where they need some more bandwidth!

Oof. That sounds un-fun for the site manager to untangle, though.

Same here.

Go for it! And if you do, let me know how it turns out.

Also: MoAR and Thematic Toolkit releases both have some lead time because I work with other people who also have lives and schedules to account for. This and Arcane Sniper were solo projects I could do on my own.

The thematic toolkits will continue to come out every month, have no fear! This month's (Storyteller; bard/druid) has been sent to layout. This and Arcane Sniper are basically "tide over" releases because we had no MoAR release in August. But yes, Thematic Toolkit releases are specifically...
