[DDS] [Spheres] Beast Tamer's Handbook Playtest and Bestiaries

[Mister Rex]

Hello everyone, Rex here with DropDeadStudios.

Following a community poll for creature themes people wanted more content of, a dedicated handbook and bestiary for both the undead and magical beasts are in various stages in the development cycle.

The Beast Tamer's Handbook has entered playtest, you'll find a large number of options for better synergizing with your companions and cohorts, as well as a soft rework of the Beastmastery sphere to standardize how its talents scale.

You can find a link to the playtest here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eipuhey5V4KP9u6ukszlkbwtf0tyKE-g4V9UYC0KAwg/edit?usp=sharing). As always feedback is appreciated, as well as any requests, comments, or concerns. Feel free to also join us on Drop Dead Studio's discord server (https://discord.gg/EfDKxcH).

The now concluded Gravecaller's Handbook includes a number of undead options, classes, talents, Death sphere reworks, including a mad scientist Scholar, vampiric-themed mesmerist, and phantom options.

The two bestiaries will feature a number of both classic and new creatures.

Thank you all for your support, as always, and I hope to hear from you all.

Shameless bump.

The Beast Tamer's Handbook is completed.

This book shaped up to be real interesting, covering a massive breadth of animal-interaction talents and options as well as a deep, deep dive into expanding the Atavism legendary talent from The Conqueror's Handbook, now covering every creature type and offering an improvement feat that feels like their own mini bloodlines.

If you haven't taken the time to look, please do! The playtest will be remaining open until the 2nd week of November, where it will close for necessary editing and layout.

Thank you all, and I hope you see you at the next playtest :smile:
