Balance Disclaimer!

Much like my similar document for the Artificer, the Expanded Options are one part additional options, and one part my testing ground for new things that will eventually work their way into the class, but are currently being playtested.

Content found within is often in various states of playtesting, and while as all at least receieved some balance and testing from me and the community, not all of it is as polished as the primary class content would be expected to be.

Always give things from the Expanded Options a second read to see if it fits your game.
