Rogues...? Didn't see those coming! Two new playtest subclasses!

A face forgotten in the night. A thought stolen without a trace. A corpse found in a dark ally with a terrified expression. These are the legacies of a Lurker. They pass through the night with less tracks than a whisper on the wind, robbing pockets or minds with equal ease and leaving none the wiser.
Though often feared, they are not inherently evil; some of them use their powers to bring down tyrants or bring justice to those that find themselves otherwise untouchable, but their powers provide a dark temptation to others who exploit them to their fullest.
Their psionic gifts may come to them naturally, or perhaps are part of a secret teaching, or even an unwanted gift or curse, they have a specific area of expertise that often exceeds even a Psion in a narrow application.

The Clever (and sometimes reckless!) Gadgeteer!
Swinging from a grappling hook before dropping a smoke bomb, rigging a stubborn lock to blow, or rejiggering traps to spring on those that set them, the Gadgeteer lives by fast paced innovative and thinking outside the box on the fly... sometimes literally.
Specializing tools that let themselves in and out of trouble, they don't fight fair, relying on things the go "boom", "zap" or "whirr", they live on the edge of their own explosions, though often rewrite the story in later retellings that they doffed their darkened goggles as they walked away slowly, omitting the singed seat of their trousers and yelping.

What's Next?
If you missed the last post, it was Fighters. You can find that here!
Want to know what is next...? It's up to the poll! Currently it looks like Warlocks have a narrow lead... make your vote heard here! ($3+ patrons for polls)
We are closing in the Pledge Manager going live! It is taking a bit longer than expected - the last step needed is for my payment to Backerkit to clear... I sent them the money using ACH (as was recommended) but its taking awhile for that clear apparently (expected, apparently), so in the meantime... playtest content! It should be up before the end of the month, still probably as early as the next few days once all the ducks are in a row!
A Note On Playtest Versions
I did want to briefly talk about these playtest versions - these are literally what goes out to my testers right now. Some of these are the first real version of something (like Lurker) some of these are few iterations down the road (Tech Knight, Gadgeteer). I've just decided to make the process a bit more public and transparent bringing you folks into the earliest steps. If you want to wait a bit for the first real packet, those versions will be a little more polished as we grind through the iterations here a bit.
Note that the Kickstarter promised 1 subclass per default class, but we seem to be getting 2 per class (a Psionic one and an Invention one... interesting that... and why some of these seem a little newer than others...)
Public Playtests?!
The Public Playtests are going to come back, probably starting next month. I cannot yet promise a weekly cadence, but there will be some next month. More information will be pending there. It'll be announced far and wide when start these up again, going to try really hard to have somewhat better notice than the previous times.
The Next Stream? Discord Notifications?! More!
I will be streaming again on Friday, 1pm PST. We are getting through the rest of the Artificer this time... one way or another, even if I have to go a bit longer this time :)

The Pyrotechnic Gadgets have unlimited use. They aim to balance around their action use rather than their resource - that's how the Gadgetsmith works, and I think is an idea that ports over to the Rogue as they tend to be a resourceless class (they may need to be tweaked further, we'll see). For Among the Blast, the idea would be it would make it outside of the radius as long as it is in your movement speed to get there. I'll clarify that.

Quick question regarding the gadgets, do they have a recharge time, or can you use them at will ? Additionally for Among the Blasts, the edge of the area, is the edge still inside of the area or just outside of it ?
