I'll go ahead and post publicly.
Probably March or April-ish.
So first of all, the project in question is five of us working together, and there's a
lot more than just gish support. We're still writing/designing, and we've got the following written up so far:
- 8 new heritages (more than twice that many effectively when you consider the "branching options" on a lot of them - think of the way dragonborn work in A5E with three basic types)
- 14 new cultures
- 10 new backgrounds
- 4 new destinies
- 35 subclasses
- 2 new synergy feat chains
- 2 new stronghold types
- 2 new follower types
- 1 new "standard" weapon
- 4 new cultural weapons
- 1 new combat tradition
- 12-ish new spells
We're basically done with backgrounds, cultures, and destinies. One of the heritages is likely going to be getting another half-dozen options, I have about 10 more subclasses to write up, and we're planning to add 2 (or maybe more, this is being discussed) additional multiclass synergy feat chains, 3 transformational synergy feat chains (similar the revenant, vampire, or lycanthrope options, but for different creature types), 4 more new follower types, 2 rare weapons, and around 20 new spells. We also have 3 designers working on entirely new base classes.
I'm handling most of the subclasses (3-4 for all of the existing Level Up base classes, including the Artificer), most of the spells, and all of the synergy feat chains.
So as far as gish-specific content, here's what I've got so far. I am going to keep it fairly vague for now, but here's what I've written up:
- Tertiary-caster subclasses for the adept, berserker, and fighter and fighting-focused ones for sorcerer, warlock, and wizard.
- A bunch of new spells that will be useful to gish-style characters.
- The new full combat tradition with 15 new maneuvers is specific to spellcasting characters.
- I am contemplating some additional synergy feat chains, several of which would be gish-y.
- At least one of those new base classes is pretty gish-y.
Those who like to mix divine magic with fighting will also be pleased with various new subclasses, spells, etc.
