[QUOTE="kerleth, post: 8911656, member: 84383"] Edit: Just realized this doesn't actually have anything to do with the specific post and just falls under the same general "classes needing support" bucket. I apologize for that. Savant support. It's a class idea that keeps getting reinvented again and again because people keep wanting to do something like that and it's a space that isn't adequately filled by core books. While I realize it isn't in the Adventurer's Guide which can cause issues, that is not an insurmountable problem. Just put one archetype, selection of class abilities, or multiclassing feats in every magazine or two. People who don't have the setting book won't be missing out on much, because there is still everything else in the Gazette, and it acts as advertising for the Adventures in Zeitgeist campaign setting book for people who are intrigued by what they see. Heck, there is nothing stopping the class entire from being added as bonus material in something like the Gatepass Gazette Annual Compilation, or in a City and Society themed book ala the Dungeon Delver's Guide. Not having supporting material is always one of the big problems with new classes. I'm not sure if Savant is open for 3pp to design for, some memory is tickling me saying it's not. But that is even more reason for something "official" to be worked out to support it. The Gatepass Gazette might require some sort of altered setup for those articles, maybe doing them more "in house" with specific different contracts and presenting them alongside the normal submissions, or perhaps putting the support in some other sort of supplement if that is overly difficult, or just changing that and adding Savant to the things that can be supported alongside a re-release or bonus content sort of deal perhaps.
