Character Options TALENTS II

The first Talents book provided a ton of character flavor and fun options to play around with. But being the first book, it only covered content from the Player’s Handbook. This caused balance issues if used in campaigns that were utilizing content from other sources. Character Options Talents II finally address that by having over 200 talents supporting the new archetypes, classes, and races from Xanathar's Guide to Everything, Unearthed Arcana, Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, Elemental Evil, and the Dungeon Master’s Guide. Another set of talents you will discover are ones that build on the feats introduced in the Player’s Handbook. Those are the only feats I touched though. I stayed away from the Unearthed Arcana feats, as they are already too similar to the previous talents I have created. Another section I wasn't able to touch was the Rune Scribe Prestige Class. With no other prestige classes to compare, it was hard to create balanced talents. And with very little to work on, I just decided not to touch it.  Additionally, this book treats content from Xanathar's Guide to Everything as the priority rule over similar content from Unearthed Arcana.

 Finally, you will notice that the monstrous talents I promised in the first book are missing. I didn’t quite anticipate the number of talents that would go into the second book just supporting the new content. After much thought, I decided to just plan another book solely about Monstrous Talents. This would include the new monstrous races introduced in Volo’s Guide to Monsters. There will also be a section in the book with dozens of stat blocks of creature templates showcasing the new monstrous talents. Exciting things ahead! Expect a release sometime in the late 1st quarter or early 2nd quarter of 2018!

 In the meantime, I hope you enjoy playing around with the new talents! And yes, I would love to hear about your feedback.
