Vodniks are a favorite creature of mine, so I was predisposed to like this. The "magical gaze" power is evocative, open-ended, and interesting. I wish there were a tad bit more on the ability to sift through a target's memories, and I'd be curious to know if either charm option is intended to have the traditional failure points of the more standard charm person spell.

Having the beast-form's tail do more damage than a bite seems a bit odd to me, but there are similar infelicities in the standard OSE monster list. The decision to allow the shift to beast form in darkness (rather than immersion, for instance) is interesting, but I like it.

I'd be curious to see how this shakes out in play! It's a very front-loaded class but that may be just what is desired for a campaign.

I was quite pleasantly surprised by this! I don't really like the shtick of using cooking implements as weapons, so cooking-themed classes are generally not my bag, but I definitely did like the Special Recipes. These are the core of the class, provide a nice benchmark for further improvisation in recipe design, and seem to offer a bunch of interesting (and dare I say, flavorful?) options.

Like many folks here, I would happily port Hydra Coop products over to Itch. But with multiple authors and royalty splits under a single publishing umbrella, there's no point in us doing so until we can continue paying our creators based on our existing agreements.

Rifts never quite clicked with me on the original read, so that parallel didn't come to mind, but looking at it, I can definitely see that now!
