Typos and inaccuracies


Animist Class Discussion


There wasn't a better fit topic, so...
There's a small thing:
"... you start with a focus pool of 2 Focus Point <...> The maximum Focus Points your focus pool can hold is equal to the number of focus spells you have, but can never be more than 3 points."
Number of focus spells you have at 1st level seems to be 1, not 2. If any other classes in the remaster have this wording, it's ... not optimal.

You have two Focus Spells at first level though? Admittedly it does require either Refocusing or using Apparition's Whirl to switch your current Primary Apparition to use the second Apparition's Vessel Spell Focus Cantrip.

You would then gain a third Focus Point once you get your third Apparition at 4th level, and of course since 3 is the max number of Focus Points you don't get a 4th when you get your 4th Apparition at 12th level.

The standard for Focus spells for all classes is now going to be that you have 1 Focus point for every focus spell you know, capping at 3. This mostly just removes the situation where you'd gain a new spell but no bonus point. It seems like the Animist having 2 apparitions counts as knowing 2 focus spells, even if they can be swapped out each day, so it makes sense that they start with 2 points.

Channel animists can switch Apparitions in the middle of the combat. So the 2 focus points makes sense once you can cast a Vessel Spell then switch your primary apparition then use a different Vessel Spell.

You either have one or two focus spells depending on how you look at it. The only reason you'd care is for focus pool size, and the rules clarify: for the purposes of focus pool size, you have two focus spells. They're just not both accessible at the same time.
