What's the intended level for this? Might use it.
Looking at Lv6s for it. But not entirely sure how it'll work out. And part of the goal was to also have some rolls result in "We should run not fight." (Or at least be smart in how they fight.)
My party's level 7 rn, but might still use it.

Let me know how it goes! It'll probably be a few months until I get to use it so you're the beta tester.

At least we're planning to do Champion fighter for him to start with to keep it simple.
On the flip side we're level 5 so we'll see if he gets thrown into the deep end still. (Hopefully not too much.)

That story always bothered me. Scorpions can breathe under water for up to two days, so it could just sink to the bottom and roleplay as a crayfish.

No idea what that is but it looks cool. Hmmm. I’ll take some inspiration from this for stuff and things

I just basically got crushed twice over in RP and now I'm grumpy because I feel inadequate.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.

Just had an epic session. Killed a player and brought them back with a sentient artifact made of meat.
She adored the session and everyone else did as well. She's now a vampire warlock with a pig god for her patron.
And she decapitated the last person to use the artifact.
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.
Wait... you killed a player and brought them back to life?
