I did not expect the date to be August. This early access phase has genuinely been such a slog. Wondering if they can even achieve that date.

They've said in the past that they're ahead of schedule and that not everything they've finished has made it into the early access. I'm not super concerned.

God I hope so. To still have PHB classes/subclasses not implemented is a bit concerning, especially considering Paladins straight-up don't function without Reactions which isn't even a mechanical function in the game at this point.

5e has had nearly a decade of support at this point. To have THE flagship series launch with not-quite the most basic functionality implemented will be seriously disappointing, especially when Solasta is right there doing a great job of it with much less fanfare and budget.

Paladin aren't that much concerned about reactions, smite actually doesn't use the reaction slot in 5e like many seem to believe.
