Patreon Early Access: Playtestable Wizard of the Citadel Subclass

Wizards are known by their secrets, and when they have time, they conquer all.

We are so proud to finally present the Playtest PDF for the Wizard of the Citadel Subclass to our Patreon audience!

Similar to our preview of the Witch Class, we want to emphasize that this is an early draft of the class mechanics—it hasn’t been thoroughly playtested, so GMs should be fully aware of that before allowing it to be used in their games.

We’ll be seeking feedback from the Patreon around mid-November, once people have had some time to play the subclass and test it out. We don’t expect feedback, but if you decide to try it out and are willing to share some thoughts, we’d love to hear from you, so keep an eye out!

EDIT (Dec 2, 2024): The survey form for the Citadel Wizard Subclass is now open! Check it out here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1F93iWzCpKKU4ZFEaiNjsLosZObrfiji0nTjc2GvWFLU/viewform?edit_requested=true&pli=1 

  • Playtest feedback is most useful when it identifies specific issues, pain points, and areas of confusion—or things that are working well. If you think something is bad/not fun/unbalanced/not as good as the previous version, please be specific and tell us why! And finally, please don't backseat design—it's most helpful to know what you think of the existing design, not what you think it should be, so we can best identify the core issues to address.

  • The designers (Hannah, Mazey, Brandes, Dan, and Brennan) are the ones reading the feedback, so please keep things polite and respectful. We know the class isn't perfect yet—that's why we're playtesting!—but we've put a lot of time, blood, sweat, tears, difficult-to-obtain ritual components, hearts, and souls into this design process.

Additionally, our revised Witch Class will be set to release on HALLOWEEN!
