I know I’m late to the party on this one, but I’m so sad there’s no Feathers the Owlbear :( He was my favorite. Was hoping we’d still get the Orden version of an owlbear.

I know the survey is closed, but I JUST found out about the swallow mechanic. I'm a little bummed that it's gated behind the Guardian Wild Nature and not, say, in a rampage feature. Hoping it'll be expanded on in the full release

i know the survey is closed, but i do want to say that not being able to use other kits really feels kinda bad, it feels like something that heavily limits the class. the pdf justifies this by saying the companion cant fit into a suit of armor, but then gives you a kit that has heavy armor anyway. a more reasonable restriction, like saying the companion cant use the signature abilities of kits not listed on the class, would feel a lot less restricting

I don't think this idea necessitates an entire survey response, but this class desperately needs a big honey badger type animal. A dwarf and a Dire Badger, unstoppable defenders for their group. Fearless, tough as nails, one of the few creatures stout enough to earn the respect of the Elementals. I'm picturing stability 3 or 4. Maybe bleeding immunity like the boar, and a free-reaction charge toward any enemy that forced-moved it. And maybe the Intimidate skill and a taunt with strikes. There's lots of stories of badgers getting bitten by cobras and they just sleep it off and then eat the cobra. So maybe poison immunity, or hell, damage immunity at upper levels. Maybe even something like the Curse of Immortality or Guilty Conscious complication. I'm def making a female Dwarf named Hunny. Hunny/Badger don't give a F**k!!

The best way to get us your feedback is through the following survey: https://forms.gle/JTRAGPLS2bke6BBC6 (because reading the comments of the patreon post for feedback from people is basically a logistical nightmare)

I'm on record as not enjoying the kits, but I have to say that on the whole I love how customisable the class is, and how effectively the 50/50 turns work. That's a really effective way of always being a team. I can definitely see a world where one slightly over powered power would have you playing nothing but your pet, or nothing but your character. This is great.

Unchained Ferocity at 4th level is still referring to the previous instantiation of gaining ferocity. Presumably the damage trigger should go up to 4 per round? Or only 3?
