[QUOTE="Sword of Spirit, post: 7147901, member: 6677017"] I'm not really sure how the DM's Guild release is supposed to work. What it [I]sounds like[/I] they are saying is, "Hey all! So apparently nothing we do with the mystic is making everyone happy. Tell you what, why don't y'all just make your own versions of it to show us what you are thinking. Go ahead and put out a bunch of subclasses and powers and whatever.
