[QUOTE="Redthistle, post: 6646361, member: 6778305"] Gimul, Thank you for the observations and suggestions. Those, and the considerations in Unearthed Arcana's Class Design Variants regarding Barbarians, led me to switch The Shrewdness of Grandmothers and The Wily, Watching Warrior (which I renamed The Warrior's Mentor). I kept the spell at 3rd level, as it fits both level-wise and as part of the dialogue between the PC and the ancestral mentor. I dropped advantage for Wisdom saving throws from the Grandmothers as it struck me as being a bit overpowered. This switch also satisfies the UA's guideline that the 6th- and 10th-levels should be non-combat in their effects. As to your thoughts on adding a summoning component at 14th level (I'm guessing you meant 14th, and not 17th, since there's no 17th-level Primal Path feature), the Whispers of Lingering Grief feature implies active participation by the ancestors who are striking out at the target through the PC. Perhaps I didn't make that clear enough. While I was developing that feature, other versions of it made it possible for the DM to activate the feature instead of the player doing so, or either the DM or player activating the feature. In the end, I decided to keep the choice in the player's hands, but I'm open to other input. Perhaps I should go back to the either/or option. [/QUOTE]
