He's posted a preview of arcana unearled which includes a whole class, the Greenbond, which he says is something like a druid.

Very cool. Would be right at home in a Miyazaki film.

 

[Dr. Strangemonkey]

I would use it immediately! If I weren't leary of how well balanced it actually is without a spell list.

 

[ShadowX]

I don't get the difference between readied spells and spell slots available. Can anyone help me here?

From my understanding, it's halfway between the Wizard and Sorcerer. From the total spell list, you choose your Readied spells for the day, and you can cast any of those spells using your actual spell slots. Someone else might correct me if I'm mistaken.

Nope, you hit it right on the head.

You can get a more verbose description of AU spellcasting right here.

The magic mechanics are really simple to understand but the way the different aspects combine together makes for a very rich, flexible system.

The designer seem to think of everything. I particulary like the class' built in adventure hook in the form of the Bond With the Green-ability.

I was already looking forward to the release of the book, now this crunchy tidbit comes along and I know I want it. What a cool class this is.

 

[Chronosome]

I thought I had an NPC all mapped out...

It'd be cool if we knew what Greenbond spells are in the SRD...ah, well.
I dig it, so far.

Plus, if I read correctly, its (mostly) designated as OGC.
