- Now, we have a couple
of sub-classes as well.
I'm very excited for
new sub-classes always.
I'm excited for everything, let's face it.
But one of those is the Echo Knight.
Can you tell me more about the Echo Knight
and what do they serve,
and how do they serve?
- So the Echo Knight began
as the elite warriors
of the Kryn Dynasty.
Dunamis classically is a
very arcane based power
and is manipulated as such,
though there are clerics of the Luxon.
There'll be like light
doing clerics and such.
The Echo Knight is a martial class
who has come to manipulate
Dunamis in a martial way.
And how they do is, and
that idea of potentiality
and probability that when
you make these decisions
in a timeline solidifies in the next path
of your fate or destiny,
if carved, goes on,
all those possible timelines
that weren't chosen die away.
Very kind of Langoliers-esque,
like these divergent
timelines then just decay,
and that energy is
reabsorbed by the universe.
An Echo Knight is able to tap
into those dying timelines
and temporarily pull a version of themself
from that timeline and use
it to fight alongside them.
So they can summon an echo of themselves,
which is not really them.
It's just kind of a shell
of what they could've been
and using them on the battlefield
to become an extension of themself.
They have the ability to
allocate either their actions
between themselves or the echo.
They can swap spaces with
it in certain locations.
They can use it defend their allies.
They even have the ability
to send it long distances,
focusing on its senses and kinda let it be
an extending avatar of themself.
So it's kinda like having its own kind of
pseudo-shadow clone to go
into battle alongside them.
- I'm jealous. (laughing)
That's a subclass I wish I had designed.
(both laughing)
That sounds so fun.
I love time-wimey stuff, and
I love alternate dimensions
and potentiality, and to
have to summon yourself
from another potential
you to fight with you
is just such a good narrative hook,
and that can go a lot of ways (laughing)
if you're a mischievous Dungeon Master.
- Oh, yeah, I hope it's fun.
- [Todd] That sounds fantastic.
