Credit to
- bendking for the additional reaction implementation.
- jellytajm for their excellent work on improving the Four Elements spell list.
Plans:
- Polish tooltips and refine balance - open to suggestions. I'd also greatly appreciate someone walking me through how to link to other abilities in a tooltip.
- Implement Earth and Air cantrips and additional spells for Four Elements. Earth will get a minor illusion equivalent, Air will likely get the ability to push and pull nearby objects.
- Give Earthbenders some love in general.
- Implement Stunning Blow in a less clunky manner.
- Give Khan'xhir a 6-meter bonus range without feeling clunky or looking goofy.
- Come up with a balanced "Avatar State" discipline for Four Elements. VFX are ready, I just need a reasonable effect for a level 6 character or one that can scale.
