I have a Blade-type character but have wanted an outline for Constantine. This is super!

Erin Gruenzner

Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen!

That's a weird artifact that sometimes happens when we make a PDF -- it's not missing a page or anything. I'll fix it right away.

Articus the Tigulf

not sure if this is just my download or something, but there's just a blank white page after page 8.

Assuming that the change actually worked this time, the Exploit Vulnerability should be good for multiclassing. (It only works once per turn and doesn't double damage from class features.)

So far the only complaint I've gotten about this class is that Exploit Vulnerability is too strong when you multiclass.

Isla Ross

The class looks awesome though! Im excited to test it out. My only real concern is the potential shenanigans with casting tiny hut as an action. I know a couple of dms who would refuse to consider it over that.

Mage Hand Press

Gah! I actually fixed this one a couple weeks back when it was spotted, but at some point, my file /reverted/ a few random changes. Super frustrating. I'll have it patched momentarily

Justin Forkner

Was just about to say the same thing.

Isla Ross

In the 'exploit vulnerability' section is says 'if the target has resistance or vulnerability' that its not treated as being vulnerable to the damage. Should this say immunity instead of vulnerability?

Christopher Hartland

The changes to the investigator and occultist look good. Advantage on detecting lies is simple and effective. The extra two rituals gives the occultist more spell power than the sub classes and so helps, I think.

Mage Hand Press

Good catch -- fixed.

Mage Hand Press

I've made some changes that should address some of your issues. They'll be up a in a few minutes

Christopher Hartland

I love the concept and the main features of the class. It may just be me, but the sub-classes feel very samey . I can see that each one is good at something different, but none of them "feel" really different. Also, for the investigator, automatically knowing when a creature is telling a lie might make campaigns very difficult for a DM. I realise you can't tell what the truth would be, but having that ability would probably make life very challenging for a DM. Maybe increase the potency of or ease of casting zone of trust for the investigator? The gaining of two cantrips for the occultist feels a bit lackluster. I could get the same from taking the magic initiate feat while gaining a first level spell to boot. I realise you can't give much when you're also giving trinkets, so I'm afraid I don't currently have an alternative suggestion here.

Sean Riley

Proficiency lists light crossbow and simple Weapons, as the light crossbow is a simple weapon you can remove it specifically from the list!

Mage Hand Press

Fixed, by the way. Also, sounds like a gun character

S L Hall

But over-all, I love everything I'm seeing! Devising a joking character to test builds before I get into more serious development... the warforged investigator named Inspector Gajit will be a fun test.

S L Hall

The sections on trinkets say "listen" instead of "listed".

Mage Hand Press

I was looking for that! It got washed away in the tides of the discord. I'll add it in soon

Justin Forkner

The Palm suggested some better wording for the After Image ability, "When you are hit by an attack during the spell's duration, roll any die. On an odd roll, the attack targets and hits the duplicate instead of you. The duplicate vanishes, reappearing after you move 10 feet or more or take the Dodge action."

Patrick Rooney

The hit points say "1d8 per channeler level"

Mage Hand Press

I've thrown in the requisite 'instead'. Good catch.

Mage Hand Press

Good catch -- fixed.

Justin Forkner

Or was the intention that this would do 3d8 damage to creatures under half hp

Justin Forkner

Shouldn't this say, "If the creature has less than half its hit points remaining, you can instead deal an additional 2d8 damage to the creature?"

Justin Forkner

Finisher says, "Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage to the creature. If the creature has less than half its hit points remaining, you can deal an additional 2d8 damage to the creature."
