  • I'm absolutely blown away by the way you stylized this into a battered old paperback. What a cool idea and look for this entry! The description and fiction are well-written, and all the flavor of the traits checks out. Mechanically, there are some iffy points. Incorporeal gives you invisibility...AND concealment? Is that just meant as a reminder? Ghastly is cool but probably a bit niche given how it restricts your ability choices to use, and I don't know that Pierce the Veil is worth 2 points even if it didn't cost 3 HR to use every time (which I so doubt I would ever want to do). Shriek and Walk Through Walls are neat, but I would have liked some more unique instantiations throughout as they're effects that already exist in the game somewhere. Overall, though, everything is cool and flavorful and I'd be happy to give this to a player to use. And the license as a footnote? Great touch 😙🤌

This has my favorite presentation I think, you really knocked it out of the park with the pdf design. Incredible vibes.
