Hey When Will the Additional Characteristics Honor and Sanity be Added in such a way that you can roll for it in Character creation it is Small addition like that that would spruce up the game play if it could just be added to character creation almost like Critroll content
They're working through the optional rules, with the next one on the road map being the general features system for things like boons, guild and faction ranks and franchise roles. Optional stats will likely come after that
Sanity scores, such as when minions of the Great Old Ones turn up and... bend things until PC's brains start squeaking, would sometimes be useful. More useful would be rulings on the aftermath and subsequent PC... quirks that are not entirely under Player's control. Actions like screaming like a little girl and running for cover when they hear dogs, kobolds or rain, for example, and being in a terrified state without really understanding why would be nice too.
Call of Cthulhu is all very well for this, but it would be lovely to have the ability to cast magic without needing to have a character with their sanity hanging out of their ear in order to do so. Basing an adventure on the Outer Planes, along with theme fitting spells, feats and disturbing-but-useful items/pets, would also be a win, I think, although it should definitely be released at around about Halloween.

This is something I need in the sheet. As a DM and player I really want to get this as is part of my world.
