Hypnotist class: sneak peek (Patreon)

Hey all! I've been getting some good development in on the hypnotism class called the Mesmerist. It's developed into a Warlock subclass, though its spells--and its rules--are going to be available for all spellcasting classes.

First, a little look at the Hypnotized status:

Hypnotism occurs when a Charmed creature would be charmed a second time by a different effect. Instead of the second charm spell being useless, it puts the target into a deeper state, a stronger sleep. From the Hypnotized state, an individual is essentially controlled by their Hypnotist, though the individual gets to save periodically.

But as any good fan of the kink knows, there's not just one way to be hypnotized. In fact, depending on who you ask, there's anywhere from 4, to 6, to even more!

That's where Hypnotic Trances come in.

When you Hypnotize someone, you can choose what kind of trance they enter. Each differs in expression and unique benefits... or drawbacks you experience.

The mechanics on these are subject to change, but here's a little sneak peek at how they work. And for fun, a spell:

Next week, Rare wondrous patrons will get to see "under the hood" as it nears development! A week after that, it'll release--free to Rare patrons.

I hope you like what you see!
