Astral Seer

Astral Seer: Astral Instability has been renamed to Astral Chaos and has been mechanically changed:

  • - Astral Chaos will now not block any Astral Flux abilities and it can be stacked Additively
  • - Astral Eruption will allow clearing all Astral Chaos to 0 once above 3 stacks and will scale the damage with number of stacks
  • - Chaos Fling is a bonus action Cantrip which also becomes available at 3 stacks of Astral Chaos but does not reduce or remove Astral Chaos
  • - Added Chaotic Casting reaction which will give you the corresponding spell slot back if you roll Against DC 21 - Astral Chaos stacks at the cost of expending a Mind Surge
  • - Added Embrace the Chaos which grants double the Astral Chaos based on Mind Surge spent
