Hey all! The Pledge Managers will be going out in about a week, but we've already finished writing the new content that will be included in the Compendium, so I wanted to tell everyone some trivia about the compendium real quick, both to tease those already ordering it, and perhaps entice those who have't ordered it to change their pledge to it when they get the Pledge Manager :p
All of the following is new to the compendium and is in addition to the content from the splash books:
- It's just shy of 300 pages
- It contains 3 new races, each with 3 subraces
- It contains 6 additional subraces for previous races
- It has 3 new backgrounds
- It has 3 new subclasses for the blood minister
- It has 2 new subclasses, and has 2 others reincluded from Lyre's Guide to Risk & Reward
- It has 3 sets of eidolos, eidolic armaments, and sepherite (fans of our previous content will be excited for this)
- It features 14 new NPC stat blocks, as well as 7 reincluded from Lyre's Guide to Risk & Reward
And for fun, in total:
- 3 races with 3 subraces
- 3 backgrounds
- 3 fighting styles (advancable)
- 80 subraces
- 1 class (Blood Minister) with 8 subclasses
- 59 non-Blood Minister subclasses
- 107 spells (47 of which are new from the splash books)
- 28 items (not counting elixers, which there are 12 of)
- 61 total NPCs
We have some copy-editing to do on the new content and have art elements to get made, but that's all well underway now! We aim to have both of its covers ready for everyone to choose between by the time the Pledge Manager goes out (noting that the previous cover was a mock-up, though that art will appear inside the book).
