Gol Ancestry for Draw Steel!

[shadow vale]

Me and @slender sky have worked for a few months on this project, and we are so happy to finally be able to show it to You all!

Gol are people of forest and plain with a wide array of new abilities that reflect their connection to living in the wilds. Your Gol may be a pack hunter, call your team to work together, take the punishment, keep your will unbroken, but certainly you will DENY THE SUPERNATURAL!

love the art and fiction! if theres a piece of feedback i would say, its that i can take it seems very strong for a 1 point ancestry trait. how has it performed in testing?

[shadow vale]

We might do some readjustments based on feedback, but especially at lower levels the reduction of damage is very minor.

there was a similar trait for devils in an earlier version of the game and it was removed, which is why i bring it up

[shadow vale]

Yeah I know the weapon immunity, it was exposed skeleton if I remember correctly

[slender sky]

I found in the tests I did that at low levels it was fairly inconsequential and at the higher levels other players thought it was really cool that the player's ancestry still had scaling effects. It is some powerful than some cost one abilities in certain situations and game but is not as bad in other.

The "No... I have had dogs trained for war" line was amazing, Beautiful art, intriguing writing, and a cool concept. Solid work!

[slender sky]

I'm playing a gol in a campaign! This is the kind of thing I'm looking for! Really cool art!

[shadow vale]

I love the idea of an ability that gives you an edge on assists.

How balanced is "Unbroken Will", basically makes being afraid a very solid buff with no downsides no?

I have played a Gol, but not as much as I would like, and my contribution was mostly art and collaborating with @slender sky on the lore and general vibe. Having said that, I don't think it is especially overpowered. Consider the fact that Revenants don't take damage when dying and just stand up after a few hours when they are killed. Wode Elves (I think) also are immune to one of the debuffs.
