Risks & Rewards Playtest
Risk is an integral part of every exciting adventure.
Do you open that next door in the dungeon, heedless of what might be lurking behind it? Do you cast that high-rank spell to take out your current foe, or do you save it for a tougher encounter? Do you risk angering a god by destroying a dangerous artifact?
Whatever you’re willing to risk, if you survive the effects of your choices, numerous rewards await you—be they treasure, experience, or the glory that comes from being bold adventurers! While any heroic character can live in the space between risk and reward, we’re on the cusp of introducing two new classes who thrive there.
The daredevil is a risk-taker and explorer who often runs headfirst into dangerous situations, assuming their skills and luck will pull them through. They rely on adrenaline to fuel their daring abilities, which sometimes get them into trouble!
The slayer is a monster-hunter extraordinaire who uses their knowledge of creatures and their tactics to their full advantage. Slayers can take trophies from their kills, which enhance their weapons and armor in unique ways.
Survey Details
This playtest will run for almost two months, beginning February 17 (today!) and continuing through April 10, 2026.
Once you’ve had a chance to get a feel for the new classes, please be sure to leave your feedback at the class survey and the open response survey to let us know what you think of them and where you think they could be improved!
