Against Archetypes
Added 2022-08-04 20:49:36 +0000 UTCIt's time to play an adventurer that reaches beyond the scope of the bolstering bard, leaf loving druid, and disciplined monk—contained herein are archetypes perfect for such a foray! The College of Misery teaches how to heckle foes and allies alike. Similarly unlike their peers, druids in the Circle of Corruption embrace the powers of aberrations, monstrosities, and oozes as they spread pestilence across the land. So too are irreverent monks different, their martial gifts a thing more akin to sorcery and as unique as their connection to life itself! Disruptively designed by Rachel Williamson, illustrated by Fabian Parente.

Well thank you! I wanted it to be a bit of a showstopper. More than most other classes I find Monks wind up reliant on big flashy effects to make their narrative 'work'. The five finger death punch, the Buddha's palm, you know the kind. And trying to make the effortless, irreverent, Jackie Chan Drunken Master style "Stumbles into greatness" idea, I wanted it to be a bit of a shock to pay off that kind of narrative. So thank you, again, for this lovely comment! <3
