Hey all!
So I wanted to take some time to show you the progress we made on all of the classes of the Ioverse. With such an expanse of ideas - I wanted players to have the freedom to choose the look they wanted to play - while having all these looks placed upon class ideas.
For the Fighter - I really wanted a look that didn't rely on bulky armor. That's where Shardweave came from - while some Shardweave can have the density of armor with the appearance of cloth - some Shardweave generate energy force that can deflect blows like armor does.
Of course this is all visual - we still follow standard 5e rules - with means the Plate equivalent of Shardweave will still have the same functionality as fantasy plate - it's all in the appearance.
Big thanks to Burdrehnar for working on all these concepts : https://twitter.com/Burdrehnar
