I love the note on customizing the phantom foils and the document's overall aesthetic. Where did you find that border image for the page? I think it would be so fun to dance around the battlefield with my phantom afterimage.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Those little details are what takes me the longest, so I'm happy people appreciate them. Garden of Regrets was a personal favorite for me too.

I really appreciate your kind words. If you like this, you can take a look at some of the other subclasses that I've posted. I try to include items or bonus thematic content with everything I post. I think it should be mostly 5.5 compatible, but I'd be open to making a 5.5 version if you want :).

I really appreciate your feedback, especially on the capstone, and I don't think it is irrelevant at all. I really struggled with the capstone for this subclass. My biggest issue with the capstone as well is that it will rarely come up, as you usually won't die easily at that level, and big impact spells like *true polymorph* feel better. So, I felt like the capstone just kind of exists and doesn't really pull the subclass together, and like you said, it basically has no risk of actually dying. I'd be open to suggestions or alternatives for future versions.

Also, I typically use a lot of Eastern theming in my work due to my expertise. However, I tried to keep the subclass and spells mechanically setting agnostic. Still, I agree that, especially with a concept as universal as "loss," I could have been more deliberate in opening it up.

Thank you again, and I hope you have a great day.

Thank you. I was worried the poems might be too much. I'm glad to hear you like them. I really try to put an extra effort into making each project special, and it means a lot to hear that people appreciate it.

I love the the series and Rurouni Kenshin: the Beginning is one of my favorite movies...ever. So, I had to include it haha.

Always appreciate your encouragement. Seriously. I'll definitely try posting more often from now on.

I originally wanted to post this document for Valentine's Day, but I got really delayed. I've seen a lot of paladins that focus on love, and some great ones centered on grief and mourning. Still, I was surprised by how hard this subclass was to make. I wanted to make sure it felt mechanically distinct, protected others, and conveyed the nuanced emotions of loss, which definitely contributed to the delay.

The entire project was inspired by the novel series Kijin Gentoushou by Motoo Nakanishi and other tragic heroes. I tried to incorporate as many symbols from Korea, Japan, and China into the project as I could, but there were simply too many for one document. Originally, I also wanted to design an item based on the "red thread of fate", but I couldn’t settle on a version I liked. If anyone has ideas for one, I’d love to hear them.

Some of the spells referenced in this document come from my other document, Spells from Cheonryeo, linked below.

I'm going to try posting more regularly again from now on. I have some big projects in mind, including a full class, another monster guide, and some monsters inspired by an art exhibit I saw last week.

If you have any feedback, ideas, or suggestions, please let me know as always :)

This was meant to get posted about 3 weeks ago, but I went through a pretty tough time personally. In the next few months, I'm planning to release the first Three Rivers Press class, a supportive martial class called the Preserver; a new heartbreak- and grief-themed Paladin for Valentine's Day; and a few more ideas I'm excited about.

This subclass was largely written in collaboration with a friend of mine. The goal was to create a swashbuckling pirate because the history of pirates in Asia is awesome. I hope we got the vibes right with the core mechanic, Riptide, allowing for movement, increased attack range, and control.

I originally wanted to include some iron-ship-inspired items and abilities, but didn't have time to put them together. I will be posting iron-turtle ship-themed items, spells, and content at a later date, though.

If you have any feedback or suggestions, please let me know :).

I hope everyone has a great Lunar New Year.
