• New deva, gnoll, goblin, kobold, lizardfolk, and minotaur heritages.

• Six cultures to help ground your character in the world of ZEITGEIST, including the Bloodmarked gnolls, De Guerra orcs, and the philosophical Dialecicians.
• A dozen feats to show your devotion to the grand social movements shaping the world, like tinkering Technologists, the secret society of Vekeshi Mystics, and the Skyseers who glimpse prophecies in the movements of the planes in the night sky.
• Over thirty new magic items, such as the absurdist web, blood of the hollow widow, countermagical handcuffs, and the hat of hats.
• Tools for proper modern heroes, like an astounding array of firearms, the finest monster-repelling apotropaics science can devise, and arcanotechnological innovations such as lantern blasters, asomatous canvas projectors, and planarite-fueled dirigibles.
• Monsters ranging from the dreamborn srasama-fey of Elfaivar and the emotivore malice beasts to the pride of Pemberton Industries: B.E.A.R. - the battle enhanced animalistic replicant.

There's a sidebar on pg 227 that details how the A5E ranger works with archetypes that grant spells.

Any reason for giving the Adept archetype Focus Point costs instead of Exertion? Seems like it might be a holdover from an earlier draft but I haven't read the whole thing yet so I'm not sure if they're something different.

It's a bit of friction from trying to make the book work for both A5E and O5E. The Durala Carao adept uses Exertion.

OOooh i want that please.

I submitted a trio of Archetypes. But that article won't be out for at least several months, if it gets published at all. Cross your fingers for the Hotshot Bard Archetype, the Contriver Rogue Archetype, and the Eldritch Gunslinger Warlock Archetype!

Eldritch Gunslinger Warlock Archetype

Hello. Trying to hold a run a game with zeitgeist and cant find any information about gunsmithing tools and chemist's tools.
Where do I look for to find them if they exist?

 

[RangerWickett]

If you want to craft a gun, make a check, and add your proficiency bonus if you've got a proficiency in gunsmithing tools.

If you want to do stuff with chemicals, make a check, and add your proficiency bonus if you've got a proficiency in chemist's tools.

That's all the rules you need. Maybe we didn't put specific prices in the item section, but I figure it would be about 10hp apiece.
