to the Dev: Looking for a clarification on the playtest materials.

Does a 2nd level Phantom get a +2 armor bonus or +4?

1) On table page 58 lists a 1st level armor bonus of "0" and 2nd level of "+2"
2) On page 55 under Phantom, Starting Statistics, AC, there is a listed +2 to AC bonus in either form(Incorporeal or Ectoplasmic)

Phantom distance from Spiritualist
On page 52 under bonded sense and in other places it makes mention of there being no range for this effect as long as the two are on the same plane. That seems odd as in the previous paragraph it states, if the phantom is more than 100 feet away the bond is broken and the phantom is sent to the ethereal plane.

Is the implication that these effects cannot be blocked by stone, lead, wall of force? or just a typo? Either way the language should be clarified.

Hello, and thanks for putting your work out there for feedback.

Phantoms do have Darkvision (p.54 under Special)

1) Your NPC is titled a Medium 3, is he a medium or a Spiritualist?

I will focus on the phantom because I am not familiar with the Skeletal Champion template.

Your Phantom has an AC of 20, how so? +4 for armor? Phantoms cannot wear armor of any kind(p.54 "armor bonus") . If you are talking about the bonded manifestation(Su) at 3rd level that is only rounds per level and the +4 bonus is for the spiritualist. Mage Armor at the time they encounter the party would work, or BoA +4.

In addition there seems to be a typo in the Armor class description in the play test materials: P.55 Phantom starting Statistics give a +2 for either incorporeal or ectoplasmic, but the table on page 58 shows an armor bonus of +0.

I could be mistaken but I believe 1st level stats and starting stats should be the same. On p. 54 under armor bonus is does talk about this number being a "bonus" but it seems unclear. It would be clearer to just increase all the numbers in the "Armor Bonus" column by 2, and remove the reference to the +2 under starting statistics.

Maybe we can get some feed back here.

Thanks again for the sample to critique, it really helps to look at some one else's work.

OK. I'm in. Not sure what I'll bring, Arcane, or crazy DPS Barb. With my time constraints I'm think high DPS low AC great welcoming committee.

I will have something by the end of the weekend if that is OK Art. If not I can pull something together faster.

I have a Cleric 1, I would love to get in on this one. I can bring healing and and little off tankishness.
