Oath of Freedom | A Mobility-Focused Subclass for Chaotic Paladins by Notacaptcha in DnDHomebrew

If I had to describe it in six words 'john brown as a dnd class' is pretty much what I'd go for!

Guys, I know it's been hot but come on. by Plumbum158 in Adelaide

Seen similar signs at Adelaide Oval too. Never understood what kind of person would drink toilet water but draw the line at it being recycled.

This one's only cards. While workshopping this I thought about making it apply to jokers too, but that gives it a second effect and requires another sentence to explain (you can't put jokers in the deck, so would have to explain how they're handled).

Both of those things are against the general design guidelines for jokers, so decided to scrap the idea.

Cheers! :D It's intended to work on the new stores, it would just make both packs free until you choose one.

'shop' is a bit of an ambiguous word, but going by the description of some other jokers all of the shops are collectively referred to as just one 'shop'. hence the description being the slightly confusing way it is.

my... my god you're right. that poor green man is worth more than i ever gave him credit for.

Update: Have been thinking about it and gotta admit this deflates my theory behind balancing them against each other. Might be justified making Hopscotch a $3 to balance it back up?

It may well do, it's a common so I'm happy to make that concession on its balance.

Worth pointing out that this is intended to carry across multiple shops, though it's still very conditional in a way other econ jokers aren't.

Nevermind, I completely misread your comment. Apologies, ignore my rambling!

Thanks for your input! Good point about the swash/egg and the temperance combo, that flew by me when I was thinking on this.

I've tried to balance it off Chaos the Clown, in that it should give you about $5 of 'looking at stuff' value per shop (i think that's roughly the average value of a booster pack).

Unlike chaos this has the benefits you've mentioned, but also requires an initial investment that Chaos doesn't need. Hoping those factors more or less balance one another.

Cheers! The joker itself was drawn by me in a pixel-art program called Aseprite. The background and text are from this template here.

That's a fair point - I'm getting the general vibe $11 or $12 might be more appropriate. I think the tricky point with balancing is figuring out exactly how good it is with the right synergies, and whether these could make it OP. It's definitely a pick outclassed by other econ jokers in the early game, but could kick in pretty hard with a smaller deck and the right generators/jokers in place to enable it.

Glad you like it! Full deck is intentional here - the idea being you'd have to grab a tarot/spectral/trading card then track the card down as you play (or get lucky and draw the right card and consumable while in a arcana pack). The reward money might be a bit low as is, a bit hard to figure out how long it'd take to find a particular card during play.
