Sneak Peek: Shadow to Level 10
Added 2024-11-06 19:41:31 +0000 UTCReminder: Draw Steel Patreon Playtest Packet 3 is now available and you can fill out the feedback survey until November 12th at 8AM Eastern US time.
I'm back! Me! James!
Last week we showed off the conduit to level 10. Matt pointed out that it would be good for you folks to have a point of comparison. I've been going over the incoming playtest survey data. It seems that the shadow is people's favorite class in this packet. so here is a ROUGH ROUGH ROUGH version of the shadow from levels 1 to 10. A few caveats to remember:
-There will be typos and inconsistencies in here due to lack of edit. You don't need to point them out to us.
-Many of the names of higher level features and abilities will be changing. Their effects might be the same, but we've developed a theory of naming that is going to give us more cohesive and interesting names for each class's stuff.
-This isn't close to the final layout.
Take a look and enjoy!

I feel like the 10th level shadow abilities are, at least flavour wise, slightly underwhelming compared to the conduit becoming the literal avatar of a god. Obviously mechanically they shouldn’t look or feel the same, but I think it could do with more flavour.

2024-11-11 06:51:31 +0000 UTCI know the Caustic Alchemist is described as an assassin but their abilities are almost more bounty hunter or military black book solid snake special operative with the bombs and medical viles

2024-11-06 20:45:14 +0000 UTCKeep doing this for all the classes please! Then I can spin up that entire campaign I've wanted to do! I need at least 3 more classes to level 10 please :)
