Word from the Creator
These changes was not made cause of the recent release of the 2024 books, this change was made cause it needed a rework from my old work which was weak at the time I created it.
If by any chanse you wonder if I will do homebrew content for the new rules, system and classes that came out with the 2024 books (5.5e) I will not do so, for I personally do not belive in that system to be balance at all, and that they only set them self up for a lot of unnecessary work to rework a lots of the rules that they added to the 5 edition through the 5.5e. But if like it I will not judge you.
