What it is: The Cavalier class, minus the horse, minus any ability that is useful without a mount, plus a wolf that one can ride.
Short: FGG continues to produce products that have missing rules, are full of grammatical and formatting errors, and classes that are one trick ponies.
Long:
I’ll make this quick, lest I repeat myself.
What does it take, I wonder, to do a few once overs of one's product, and see what is missing?
When I skimmed this class, I was pretty delighted. A savage Cavalier, with wolves? Yes please!
However, after I actually began to go through this class, here is what I found:
-Grammatical errors, like missing words: “They can found charging,” (Shouldn’t that be: They can BE found charging?)
-Formatting errors. One that sticks out in my mind is one of the wolves, the Death Hound, has its title in a smaller font type.
-There are supposed to be five wolves available to select from: Blood Wolf, Steel Pelt, Black Fang, Iberion, or the Death Hound. They do not, however, list the stats for the Blood Wolf.
-An almost complete lack of class abilities that actually help the Wolfsworne character. Most of the abilities help their wolf, which they are assumed to always be riding. What abilities does a Wolfesworne actually get for themselves? Fighter bonus feats at 2nd level, and every 4 levels afterwards. That’s it. Everything else either pumps up the wolf, or is related to the wolf in some way. Maybe that doesn’t bug you, but it bugs me.
Lastly, FGG seems to have completely ignored requests for more information about the missing Blood Wolf.
I didn’t go further than the actual class itself. It also contains feats, archetypes, and magic items. I didn’t keep reading past the class, because I’m the only one whom allows 3rd party classes in my games, and after reading the disaster that was the core class, I knew I wouldn’t be allowing it in my games.
In the end, the Wolfsworne gets two stars for having an interesting idea that has been badly implemented. Maybe if the class was cleaned up, and the issue I have with the Wolfsworne character being pretty weak without their wolf was addressed, I’d raise this to four stars. Three if the document was at least cleaned up.
