3PP Release Available Now: Multiclasser's Manual, Volume 1

[Timespike]

Sounds neat, but probably not something you'll see from me especially soon; my current goal is to fill out the set of two-class combinations with generic feat chains.

If you've gotten the design bug, though, definitely sounds like a thread worth pulling on!

Also: I have started on some of the work on MMV2 (yes, I'm working on the Spells from the Forgotten Vault sequel and the next Multiclasser's Manual volume at the same time like a crazy person). Current class combos include fighter/warlock, bard/cleric, druid/rogue, berserker/fighter, and adept/herald. There will be quite a few more (around 30-35 total) but those ones are designed and I'm working on the build advice and lore combos for them now.

I’m currently playing a fighter/warlock multiclass, any chance you can talk about your design goals for the combo?

Broad strokes:

The first feat gives you a choice of emphasizing eldritch blast or extra attack for advancement and being able to use the other as a bonus action after using your choice in combat, plus the ability to charge yourself with eldritch energy which can damage enemies that hit you.

The second gives you additional spell options on the warlock list, more maneuver access, and some extra boosts when you're charged with eldritch energy.

The third further increases the bonuses from being charged with eldritch energy, makes your damage more effective on objects and structures, and gives you a specific benefit based on your pact boon.

Feats 1 and 3 also give you a +1 to your choice of Strength or your warlock casting ability.

In a general sense, the synergy feats are made with broad applicability in mind; while the chains will wind up with some flavor of their own as part of the design process, my goal is to make it so you can build characters with a broad base of different archetype combinations and the feats will still be useful and "fit."

A new set of print files has been uploaded and approved, and I've reordered my print proof, so I'm now waiting on that.

Also a general status update for those who aren't on Discord to see it there.

The next three large projects in the pipeline are Multiclasser's Manual, Volume 2, Deeper Magic from the Forgotten Vault, and Blood in the Stars, and I also want to update Motif Classes to the new trade dress.

Multiclasser's Manual, Volume 2:

• 10 of the 32 new synergy feat chains are designed. 5 have finished balance review and have their build advice and concepts written, 5 are still at balance review.

Deeper Magic from the Forgotten Vault:

• The Suit of Swords tarot spells are written and have finished balance review.
• The Suit of Wands tarot spells are currently being worked on.
• Two motif classes have been written and reviewed, and a third is in progress
• The 8 nightmare spells have been written

Blood in the Stars:

• Outlining and idea file refinement in progress
• Science-fantasy trade dress variant is in the experimental/tinkering stages

Motif Classes Trade Dress Update:

• On hold until Affinity fixes a bug in PDF rendering (details and a link to the thread where I reported the error to Affinity are in previous posts for those interested)

My print files were rejected again. This is as frustrating to me as it likely is to you all; I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm trying to get it resolved.

 

[Gnome Rager]

Any news? Sorry its causing you so much bother!

 

[Timespike]

Still trying to get it resolved. I'm working with the folks from DTRPG, but they had some staff turn-over recently which is hampering things a bit.

Handed off a couple of new interior page renders to DTRPG this morning. Hopefully one of those will get the job done!
