  • One of the most creative entries in my book, both in terms of concept/flavor and mechanics. Septocular Vision is absolutely wild, as are the upgrade traits, and Charmed Head Crest is a cool remix on the dwarven runes. It's hard to judge the power level of Vision Dice but I love them a lot, and the other traits all check out to me. Maybe Tough Tusks should be 2 points and just let you burrow flat-out? I just wish you'd had more space for some more basic mechanical traits to give a few extra build choices for certain characters who might not want to get saddled with the focus on Vision Dice or otherwise the Charmed Head Crest; I think it's always valuable to be able to spend all 3 points on basic mechanical boosts, for players who prefer that kind of gameplay.
  • Absolutely Delightful! Septocular Vision is so interesting. Charm of Delectable Indulgence would be the only charm my Sjausyn used. The only thing you might consider adding is a pronunciation guide because I have no clue how to say that.
