One problem with today is that it’s sometimes hard to figure out which is a genuine supplement and which isn’t! (Okay, in some cases it isn’t hard!)
Did I April fool you? Even for a little bit?
Sorry, I figured it out when I saw the title! (I have been expecting stuff today; in fact I’ve made a less than serious Pathfinder supplement myself).
I did get an email about a hybrid class based on a Pathfinder class that I’m not very familiar with. I think it sounds massively unbalancing (and therefore a fool class – which is a whole different idea), but I’m not familiar enough with the class to know!
