About "Greater defender" talent. " If a creature moves at least 1
foot within 5 feet of it, you can use
a reaction and command the Steel
Defender to make one melee weapon
attack against that creature. If it hits, the
target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the end
of this turn." Does it work when entering reach? Does it work exiting reach?

No, it does not. It only triggers if a creature moves within 5 feet of the defender, despite its reach.

On page 8 Extra Superiority Die is a prereq of level 9 (which is what it is in book 1) but on page 40 it says level 3. In book 1 the extra maneuver was at 3. What should they be?

That's a typo. It should be Fighter level 9.

Found a little error:

"Extra Tipsy Sway
You can use Tipsy Sway one "

The ability doesn´t recharge on rests, but uses movement or ki points.

Thanks for catching this. This was a remnant of the old tipsy sway. Will update this in the next version.

For now, use this instead: "The first time you use the Redirect Attack of your Tipsy Sway after a Short or Long Rest, it costs 0 ki points."

Hi dear! Finished reading all three talent guides yesterday. The only thing that I liked less about the Talents 2, which is not in the other, is that the Racial Talents are not combined into races, or at least identified at the table of content (like in parenthesis next to the name) I believe this would facilitate research!

Thanks Sophie G. I'll put this in my future to-do list and make sure the format is the same as in Talents 1 and 3.

Hope you can leave a review for Talents III as well. :)

Our table is loving the additional flavor and role customization these talents provide. I have a similar question to Damian's: with the official release of Eberron and the rewrite of the Artificer class many of the talents are no longer applicable. Are there plans to redo those talents so they align with the new class features?

Hey! I'm quite enjoying this document and the first one (this one a little less since most of the talents are subclass/feat-specific and my players haven't been getting many of those) but I have to ask - why is the Aasimar missing from here? You have every other Volo's playable race (bar the monstrous ones) but no Aasimar.
Reply
Customer avatar
Dragonix B September 24, 2018 8:21 pm UTC
CREATOR
Hi Damian! The reason the Aasimar are not covered is because Talents II came out before Volo's. The other subraces were included in the Unearthed Arcana series and thus I was able to include them. I was able to add the Aasimar, and the other official races that were part of Volo's, in one of the appendices of my latest book, Monster Talents.

Ah, I see. Does the Monster Talents book also contain talents for Grungs and Tortles?

No. Only the aasimar, firbolg, goliath, kenku, lizardfolk, tabaxi, and triton are included.

The tortle and grung can possibly be included in a future update, but i'll need to get a copy of their official sources first.

I noticed a significant issue with the Bladesurge talent. As it stands, it merely states they make a saving throw. It doesn't specify what ability they use. Can they use any?

Hilarious Jest Talent: it has a prerequisite of being College of Satire, but is all about using Cutting Words. Satire Bards don't have Cutting Words, only Lore Bards have that feature.

Edit: the description of Improved Breath of Knowledge for Mystic is also incorrect. It refers to stunning a creature with a weapon, which the benefit has nothing to do with.

All fixed. Hilarious Jest should have been for College of Lore. Heckle should be Satires.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
