Revising and reposting this from the griffon saddlebag posting, but it took me multiple read-throughs before I understood the “exertion limit” section. Also Stack of Exertion is capitalized for one line but then lower case for the rest , so that might need reformatting/reconciling. I get that the first one is proper noun for "Stack" and the rest aren't but still something consider. And I get you want 5 E formatting but maybe calling them “Exertion Stacks” would help people remember it as a resource more. Or maybe even treat it like a Barbarian resource and instead of "Stacks of Exertion", the Paragon "Exert" themselves just like how Barbarians "Rage". Ex: "A Paragon can Exert themselves to do etc." A rewrite for simplicity and clarity would be nice for that section, especially for the max exertion stacks per turn part. I'm not sure about balance, but from a clarity perspective, what about making max exertion per turn tied to proficiency bonus instead? Also, renaming “Indefatigable” would be something to consider because of how weird it is to say out loud. It doesn’t roll off the tongue. It wouldn't be dumbing down, it would be streamlining. Love the class concept though.

It should generally not capitalize Stacks, but I was inconsistent on that and its obviously not been edited yet. I think the count-up style resource is a bit more confusing, but ultimately worth having, since thematically a count down resource would make less sense in this case. Indefatigable is an interesting case, because I feel like a lot of people default to just 'infatigable', but that's not a word; it's probably a case where we are at the evolution point of another word, where in another generation or two Indefatigable will drop out of modern English... but it works a lot better than a more common term like 'tireless' there, so for the time being I've kept it. I feel like in this case almost everyone knows what the word means at least. The obvious alternative would Inexhaustible, but the problem is that the feature doesn't make you immune to exhaustion, so I specifically don't want to use that term, and Inexertable isn't a word and wouldn't mean the right thing even if it was (...and Inexorable means something completely different). As for scaling with proficiency, that's not possible for a few reasons. The first is that it would be way too efficient for a Fighter or other Martial to multiclass in for 1 level, since they would then get a bunch of free uses of the Active Martial Feat per short rest--being able to use it Prof/Short Rest for a 1 level dip would be way too high. On the other hand, Proficiency scaling is too slow/low for Paragon. Starting at 2 uses per short rest is too high, and it wouldn't end up with enough uses. It's a resource equivalent/alternative to spellcasting in a form. Proficiency bonus scaling typically works better with subclass resources than core class resources. It'd be like scaling Ki off proficiency bonus for a Monk; they'd just not have enough of it. But unlike Ki, scaling it off level does not quite work either, but ultimately it shouldn't be too bad to refer to table when you level up. I appreciate the thoughts and input. I will try to clean up the wording around stacks; Exertion should be capitalized for 5e formatting reasons, but the rest of it shouldn't be. I think once its cleaned up a bit and people are more familiar with a count up resource, it won't be too hard to understand, but I'll keep an eye on thoughts.
