For real though I don't know if this fixes ranger but "favored enemy stems from your actual actions and not something you choose beforehand" is such an obviously better and more fitting change even if you *are* sticking with broad categories that it's ridiculous.

You've at least given it a reason to exist, which is Close

"What if a Favored Enemy mechanic was good instead of nearly every iteration of it where it's dogshit instead" is pretty compelling ngl

Yeah I don't think that admonition has ever stopped anyone lmao. It's just a question of how well they push past that initial judgment.

I know the cliche is "never judge a book by its cover" but well. People do that. It's worth every penny.
Iβm begging novel writers to hire an artist for their covers. At least someone who can do graphic design at a minimum. I see the worst book covers on here everyday and youβre all doing such a disservice to yourself to put in the effort to write a whole book only to turn people away with a bad cover.

Blood of the Covenant is a game about mercy and justice, about trying to uphold conflicting ideals, about authority and power and how we use it. Angels guide a lone knight through a quest, oaths are made and broken, and the sword hangs over it all. Available in playtest edition now.

If you're into them, you should grab my in-development games as community copies, because that means itch will let me email you dev logs when there's updates to them! Even if you don't think you'll get around to reading it for a while (or ever! I know how it is!), it tells me people are interested!
