That is a lot of fun, dang flavorful, and interesting, to boot. I like the "your target doesn't know if their fortune is good or bad unless you tell them" bit. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />I've got a Paladin who is likely to be interested in the Ordained Priest.Scholar has another nifty basic ability, though I am unenthused by the "Learn every language that exists!" ability...mostly because it exposes how pointless languages are in D&D, by and large...Something I'm really digging is the mixing of power sources. If I'm a rogue devoted to Avandra, I can take an Ordained Priest ability. If I'm a Paladin of Ioun, perhaps Scholar will appeal to me. I could be a Deva (anything) and the Seer would be pretty evocative. I still kind of miss the whole "you can define your adventuring career with your theme" idea that the Dark Sun themes had, but I don't mind these at all. I suppose it's smart to keep people picking class powers anyway, as much as I might like to loosen those bonds as much as possible.I'm not WOW'd by anything here yet, but they've all been pretty interesting.</blockquote>
