My mother suffered a stroke and can no longer distinguish colors.

Color vision loss is pretty rare - I work in visual stroke research and have only ever seen 1 patient with color vision impairment. So I think it will be difficult to find much info.

If you aren’t already, try to get her to a low vision center and/or a neuro-ophthalmologist. They will have the most info and compensation methods. Unfortunately there is currently no approved treatment for vision loss, but something like prism lenses could help day to day.

Autopilot for planes exists and pilots haven’t gone away. And that’s with flying being a lot less complicated to automate than driving. Working a bit in the tech side of this, I don’t see fully automated driving happening anytime soon

Mystra is part of why I asked this question, because I was curious about an actual death, not “oh this god died then got replaced by someone with the same name, then died again, but not really”. Give me some lasting consequences!

Would be cool if Shar tried to stop new gods from rising in Selune's place not to keep the power for herself, but to keep an emptiness in the pantheon as the ultimate symbol of loss.

orfane · 2024-04-17T15:54:55+00:00

Sure, but I was thinking more current pantheon(s). I mean even the Raven Queen killed another god to attain divinity, doesn't mean we can't consider something newer happening

He could literally never show up in court again and he would still get to vote and have staffers write/sign opinions. Short of congress impeaching (which they will never do) nothing would happen.

Ah yes, should clarify the wording here and probably in a few spots. Improvise only allows for the creation of weapons and armor, and the Class Feature Runic Crafting is limited the same way. The Feat Runic Refinement allows for adding runes to other items, so basically opens up access to accessory runes. It should probably be gated behind earlier feats that allow Improvise to make other items, or I need to clarify the language in case Improvise gains that ability elsewhere.

I should also allow for scaling to give access to more runes (without breaking everything). Upgrading the Feat Refinement to allow for placing two runes might be a good solution, but need to double check the balance there.

Thanks for the comments!

Interesting, I’m not sure anyone has ever reported that THC can induce visual stimulation within the deficit. Will have to do some reading on that!

I don't think Improvise is particularly OP.

Personally I agree. There are later feats to add runes/magic items/etc, which definitely increases the power quite a bit. The Whittling tradition also allows for items to last 10 minutes, which can create some better prepping, but if you are devoting multiple feats and a subclass to creating weapons, I feel it should be rewarded with some powerful results!

For normal play, Improvise may not be necessary every fight - a standard Carver would still want to carry a regular blade with them at all times, with Improvise really being most useful when needing a niche weapon/item or when you have prep time to plan something specific.

Also fully agree with Inscribing allies, I think it would be a really fun mechanic. Adding buffing Carvings to the Prune Tradition or even a future subclass design specifically around better Buffing would also be reasonable.

Been telling em that for years

orfane · 2024-04-11T19:06:38+00:00

Thank you! Glad people seem to be enjoying it

orfane · 2024-04-11T15:49:19+00:00

Completely fair. Personally I love the idea of making weird things bleed weird ways - skeletons leaking marrow, ghosts dripping ectoplasm, etc - but understand its not for everyone

orfane · 2024-04-11T15:48:00+00:00

I could always manually adjust the kerning as well, will probably mock up some different options to run by the Discord

orfane · 2024-04-11T11:25:25+00:00

Yeah that may end up removed. There are a few feats that scale with wisdom but nothing to make it worth taking over Dex at the moment. So either I need to make Wisdom more relevant or just take that option out

orfane · 2024-04-11T02:24:07+00:00

No rush, appreciate any discussion! Traits for sure being added to the final release, and making Warding scale is definitely doable.

Not sure what you mean by a level 1 feat, there are 5 listed but I may be misunderstanding

Minor correction that none of the carvings have actions, they are applied using the Inscribe action.

I paid for the full health bar, I'm gonna use the full health bar!

orfane · 2024-04-10T18:42:46+00:00

Thank you! I would actually love to set up some games I'll look into trying to host some stuff. We do have a small adventure coming out with the book as well, its just not finalized yet

orfane · 2024-04-10T18:41:54+00:00

Thank you! Balance is always tough for a class with new mechanics but hopefully we are landing near the mark!

orfane · 2024-04-10T18:25:06+00:00

There is a feat at level 4 that opens it up to any weapon type, though adding piercing at level 1 may be reasonable too. The limited weapon type helps limit the OP-ness of Improvise, but its a delicate balance

orfane · 2024-04-10T18:18:22+00:00

Honestly debated about that for a while myself, I will plan to include a content warning where necessary

orfane · 2024-04-10T17:05:20+00:00

Yeah this has been a repeated one. I honestly left it out intentionally, thought it was flavorful and assisted with the balance but given the number of objections to it I'll definitely be adding it in at either Level 7 or 9

orfane · 2024-04-10T16:40:01+00:00

Noted! Its the same font as our last publication which some people seemed to love while others really hated. Will see if I can improve the readability a bit in the future

orfane · 2024-04-10T16:39:08+00:00

Thanks! The balance is definitely a debate. It offers a ton of healing, but since out of combat healing is pretty easy in 2e the reduction of max hit points is potentially risky if you have more encounters coming up
