Playtest material from a Campaign setting / sourcebook - Occultist Class and Aberrant and Hemomancy Subclasses
Hey all! This is my first post and I am sorry I don't have any Fancy Art for this. I am one of the casualties from the Video game industry lay offs and for the past three years I've put a lot of my time into working on this campaign setting and source book and for all intent and purposes it's done and ready except for playtesting. But yes at the moment I don't have the finances to make pretty Art and well aware of the backlash I'd get if I used AI Art even for a playtest. SO please be understanding with those limitations.
I haven't done this before and I'm clueless as to next steps, so that's an area I've love some tips on. But I've lost some help with some external play testing. I've created a risk reward Spell casting class. Most deal with the mental taxation of casting spells since your focus is your mind, but the feedback I am looking for in play is for people to test out that system, if they feel it's too oppressive.
In my own playtests we found it was balanced and worked really well and added a LOT of narrative play. The class is intended to be VERY roleplay friendly and considered player narrative at every step. There are spell schools in this that aren't part of the normal schools in D&D and that's intended, they aren't from the standard weave. They aren't spells the wizard can access. The setting has quite a bit to do with the hubris of Wizards. But yes. I have selected two subclasses to be tested for the Occultist which are in the subject heading.
I have a link to the playtest material, and if you want access Just request it and I'll give anyone access to who wants it. Thank you to anyone in advance who does this. Credit will go into the book as well as a playtester provided constructive feedback has been given, and more depending on the extent the feedback causes in changes. This is also my first playtest so if things aren't laid out properly please tell me if I've missed something for that as well. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WNis5-OiyMecFshIzy-jM3UeVeSgC_yf?usp=drive_link
