This doesn't feel especially strong in the class. Where the summoner feels very connected to all things planar and calling creatures from other planes... The spiritualist doesn't seem to have the same amount of umph... I don't want to over power them, and I do feel they are better balanced than the summoner, but something feels a bit off in the flavor department. Making the incorporeal aspect of the phantom more important, giving the spiritualist more touch spells or a set of SLAs based on the type of phantom, or something else that gave more "I can do something no one else can do" feel to the class.</p>I would like to second the idea of strengthening the Spiritualists bond to speaking with spirits or otherwise lending more uniqueness to the class...

<p>I think Crystal has not only written a great backstory to an interesting and authentic character, but also given us a new fold to dwarven culture to help pull them out of real world tropes and help them breath thier own air.

<p>Thank you for addressing concerns, and explaining your process. I organized 6 tables for Free RPG day and while the pyramid was intimedating to be sure, most parties simply took the tample and then ran into the pyramid where we had decided as a group of GMs the contruct could not follow.... what was a little less "fun" was the high precentage of deaths from a certain item that is found, but only has a way of being dealt with if you have detect magic and spellcraft, which luckly most tables had, and the certain affliction that many people contracted near the end. Placing the adventure so far away from a large settlement and therefore purhased cures for said affliction is rather harsh, and earned a lot of hard feelings. Over all the Module was very well receaved and there is a line of GMs in my lodge waiting to run it for those who couldn't make it out to Free RPG day or were trying out other systems that day. </p>
<p>While I respect the opinions of those who ran it and didn't like it, I will say I both ran and played it Saturday, and almost every player at my tables had a blast, even those who died</p>Rob,
