Howdy, Mallard Crew! We're taking a short break from Kamen Rider with our next homebrew based on Arcane's Mel Medarda!

📝 Feedback

Changes from Alpha V1

♦ General

- Fixed an embarrasing typo in the description.

- Tightened up the presentation of the level 3 and 6 features to make it look less overloaded.

♦ Radiance

- Updated the AC to be 13 + Cha.

- Removed Radiant Insight. The initial features already felt very front-loaded.

- Darkvision added to Incandescent Form (taken from Guardian Luminance). This is to avoid stepping on passive darkvision features like racial traits and such.

- Incandescent Form ignores material components with a cost equal to 100 GP x Sorc level.

♦ Level 6: Guardian Luminance (5E 2014)

- Formatting fixes.

- Radiant Aegis has been split into a semi-passive feature (1 minute for 2 sorc points) and one that you use while in Incandescent Form (no reaction cost for 2 sorc points). Renamed to Flash Aegis.

♦ Level 14: Aegis Glint

- Changed the name to Hard Light Control.

- As a feature, you can cast Forcecage via spell slots or sorcery points. Same with other similar spells.

- Removed Effortless Aegis, as I feel it's a bit too strong while being open to a lot of potential loophole abuses.

- Had to remove the Shattered Bulwark ability, as it felt a little much in a single level. Instead, Ward Breaker can now change the damage type of any spell to Radiant, so something like a thunderwave can accomplish the same thing.

♦ Radiant Being

- Overwhelming Light wording has been clarified to only deal the additional Radiant damage upon the casting of the spell.

- Radiant Surge is now something granted by the feature without needing to be in Incandescent Form.

- Added Shrouding Field that reduces damage while within 10 feet of a barrier.
