So as Mearls finally admitted and expressed mathematically, though most of us have known it for a long time: D&D's combat was balanced for the slow release of power over a much longer adventuring day and not the alpha burst we've been seeing for a decade. And there's really two reasons the game...

Yyyyyyyyyyup.

In geology, there's something called the Great Unconformity. Basically you have this one section of 1.7-1.3 billion year old rock with 500 million year old rock on top of it. Our current dating methods line up perfectly on the expected age of rock below that line, and above that line...

It's a thing. I don't actually care about that, though for a few simple reasons: 1) Bounded accuracy is pretty much a joke. 2) It would make the Psion hilariously inept at some stuff and really good at a few other things. 3) The skills you can do that with are pretty limited, and by gating...

... in my meager defense I wrote that months ago and forgot about it. Yup. It's there. But the gap is still there! It's a thing, for sure, though it is still useful for the class, depending on the situation. That -is- a good idea... Making the Martial Classes more skill-heavy than the caster...

So... the Inquisitor's Castigation: Yeah, it's like sneak attack damage. And at level 1, it's the same level as a sneak attack, but you can apply it more liberally at that level range and don't need to rely on enemy positioning or advantage. But it also starts falling behind at 3rd level, and...

I've got some Pregen Sheets I'm working on, yes. I just added the maps and tokens pack to DTRPG.com for download, too!

To really drive home the single minded nature of the class concept/fantasy. This is "I will hunt you down and kill you" class. They don't take a ton of time training in a bunch of different styles, they just master -one- and make it work for them in every situation. Slayer's Defense and Weapon...

You ever follow a pattern and it's a simplistic pattern and you continue following the pattern after the point where the pattern ends and wind up with a sweater with a 5ft long right arm and not enough yarn to finish the rest of the sweater? ... I'll fix it. I'm shocked no one else noticed...

The Mystic got canned because Mearls was trying to make a single class capable of doing everything but with psionics. Yeah, the system was a little different, but mostly it was because it was just -too- big. Too much. And everything it did stepped on EVERYONE'S toes. At this point? I think the...

Which three?

As always, I appreciate the callout!

Investigation to find a secret door with Charisma? Strike a pose and see which way your hair and/or cape are blowing.

Happened to be flying around Salamanca and saw one of the giant Pumpkins trying to hide... figured I'd share it. Just grab a buncha leaves and pretend to be a tree!

Just to keep things clear: The books aren't being shipped out, yet. The final art isn't finished for the two commissions. Backerkit just has it's own timeline where you charge for shipping within a certain time frame after the backerkit campaign ends that you put into place before the campaign...

My official entry: Arsenal of the Pumpkin King Deep within the Long Night, a mirror-realm of the Material Plane plagued with eternal darkness and monstrous beings once native to Fey Realms, lives the dreaded Pumpkin King. A once powerful fey ruler long since deposed from his position of glory...
