    One build submitted. I'm definitely, all else equal, going to get a second (probably more fun) build submitted before the deadline, but it's not quite ready yet.

    It beggars belief that I have more than one idea for this nonentity of a class. Neither one is [REDACTED], though.

    I kind of pity the judge(s), but I also cannot wait to see what kind of ridiculous stuff this class inspired from everyone else...

    As I see we’ll have something to choose from. I'm expecting something about ten entries.

    About 50 minutes until the deadline, I won't say I'm excited to see the reveal but I am morbidly curious. Like rubbernecking at an accident on the side of the road, looking at 3 cars and a pregnant woman screaming at someone. Like watching Jerry Springer tell 3 men that they are all the father.

    On an administrative note. The newest version of the spreadsheet has an option for judges to copy and paste to check skills. I'm willing to review and provide a quick note to judges as far as which entries, if any, utilized the latest version. Up to the chair. In the near future, I plan to include some kind of keycode which will be included to facilitate this.

    Current Time: "14:55 GMT on Sunday October 17th, 2021"

    EDIT: It's also morning for me (like 10am), so I think what happened is that you missed it was given in GMT time.

    Well crud, I thought the deadline was about 10 hours later than it was and have thus missed it. If it's too late (and it will almost certainly be, as I need a few more hours to finish since I'm currently locked into zoom check in with my folks for the next couple hours) then so be it, but I would love a little more time (1159PM EST would be fantastic). I will certainly understand if not though - this is on me for misreading the deadline.

    I'm not sure what you mean here. I believe you're using my spreadsheet but I can't really offer tech support right now. What I think I can do is provide an export function from tables to a text file saved in the same folder. But not today.

    In anticipation of some concerns about causality, I’d like to discuss a couple of theories that will quell some concerns you may have.

    1. Upon activation, the timeline splinters. Timeline prime experiences a jarring sudden shift, as results have changed. In this timeline you have disappeared and reappeared somewhere else. That is absolutely spontaneous movement and could arguably trigger sun school. In this timeline you have activated one of your two shockblade uses for the day.

    2. In timeline beta, depending on the weapon chosen, your fate changes entirely. You either slug your way through the goons and activate your power, or you get half way into the goons and something awful has be averted. These alternative timelines are just separate realities that become their own individual timeline primes. The DM is expected to calculate a contemporaneous trajectory for these beta timelines for a late level adventure against whatever the hell it is in the multiverse can exploit a localized mass promulgation of realities, like a solipsistic cancer in the fabric of reality, all around heironeous, god of conquest. Evil Versions of the character with a goatees should show up and try to replace the prime.

    In this manner the cake is eaten and had as well...at least for some realities.
