Notes:

• This is the last beta. Speak now or forever hold your peace.
• When commenting on a recipe, please try to avoid vagaries like "they're too expensive" or "I like some of them but hate the rest". If you genuinely want to offer constructive comments, be specific.
• I hope at least some of you are still proofing the descriptions, but I have a sneaking suspicion the only thing anyone is reading at this point are the recipes. 😜

Thank you! 😊

Hahaha - busted! All I've read is the recipes so far.

For the Safehold II recipe, I'd recommend including an Omni Cube, and for the Safehold I recipe I'd recommend including an Omni Orb.

Maybe give Sidekicks an alternate recipe replacing items with an Omni Cube. In essence it would let someone replace some of the trade item tokens with URs (Omni Cube alternate recipe). It would be:

Sidekick __
• Sidekick Steward
1 Omni Orb
• 5× Alch. Ink
• 10× Alch. Parch.
• 3× Aragonite
• 10× D’kwood Plank
• 5× Dwarven Steel
• 8× Elven Bismuth
• 8× Enc. Munition
• 4× Golden Fleece
• 5× Minotaur Hide
• 15× Mystic Silk
• 3× Oil of Enchmnt.
• 10× Phil. Stone
• 3,000 GP in Bars
All Sidekicks (shown
below) have the same
recipe:
· Ella
· Gib Gub
· Grunnel
· Pudnort
· Tabor

Was it intentional to change the orientation of the token images (they move from landscape to portrait - portrait looks better since you don't have to flip the book to read them)?

yes and yes

Pgs. 9, 10, 12

Eye Patch of the Aesir, Greater Eye Patch of the Aesir, Odin's Eye Patch all still say can only have one eye patch, when that rule changed to only one of these three.

Where the Sidekicks were first announced I asked if Monks could equip 2 GibGub's, the answer was a strong no.

The text for Gib Gub seems to indicate that you can equip two of them.
"Sidekick Gib Gub: magical Missile Blunt weapon; monks may throw up to two per round (does not count as a flurry of blows attack); returns to the character’s hand(s) and the end of the character’s turn"

Is the intent that monk's can throw two GibGub's or it a Gib Gub and another Shuriken?

Pg. 26: All Sidekicks (shown below) have the same recipe: · Ella · Gib Gub · Grunnel · Pudnort · Tabor". But they are not shown below.

Also, I would be careful about using UC to mean Under Construction when it has long meant Uncommon.

This is a screenshot of the beta 6 that's currently on our web site. Is anyone else not seeing the sidekick bullet list when they view the actual PDF? I know sometimes the transition from word processor to PDF can do some strange things. (e.g., adding shading to an emoji makes the entire paragraph disappear)

I tried several different abbreviations but couldn't make them fit on one line. I think/hope people can figure out the full meaning from the context. In the future, I think the odds of us producing an Uncommon token called Safehold II are low enough that this won't be a significant issue. But if we do, we can make it clear that a Safehold II can't be used in the Safehold II recipe.

Even if you have Safehold I, you can only have 1 Sidekick. If that cap is ever raised, I suspect it's likely that you'd be able to use more than one Sidekick Gib Gub.

Warning To All: There is no "hidden meaning" in this entire post. Do not take those comments ☝ as a hint/promise/dog whistle that we're going to raise the Sidekick cap. We have no plans to do so and I think that odds of the cap being raised are extremely unlikely. Furthermore, even if the cap is ever raised, we may not allow folks to use more than one Sidekick Gib Gub.

Say it ain't so. There should be a limit of one tree rat sidekick per party.
