Stretch goal #2!!!

Hey all!
Adrián here, lead designer and big enthusiast of the project :)
I wanted to say Thank you, Gracias, Obrigado, for all your incredible support of our project! We are so happy we'll be able to work more on this world and create even more content for all of you.
Today all of y'all unlocked our second stretch goal, subclasses for the Monk, Barbarian, and Fighter. I thought I'd introduce you all to the Monk Subclass - The Way of the Lines, illustrated beautifully by Lucas Nascimento.
At the beginning of the current age, a Koboan nation called the Tupchigot tracked down a sacred site where several of the world's leylines converged. Here, the built the Tupchi Lines, a series of enormous traces on the ground representing the shapes and movements of the leylines. They studied the leylines and in time learned to harness their power. A group of warriors, the monks of the way of the lines, arose, that mastered the ability to channel the Great Lines into different powers and abilities. These warriors are capable of creating miniature versions of the leylines on the battlefield, using their movement to trace the lines and channeling their powers into all who are nearby. They may channel the Line of the Bird to fly, or the Line of the Sun to subject their enemies to great heat. As they grow in their power, they grow in their connections to the lines, becoming able to channel more lines, some actively and some passively.
Stretch Goal #1 REACHED!

We are so grateful to all of you for helping us reach our first stretch goal! In this stretch goal we will add content to our book to include a second subclass for the Druid, Paladin, and Cleric alongside their adaptations for PF2 and CFR. Let's keep smashing those stretch goals so we can pack our book with incredible designs from several members of our team!
Meet the druid of the Circle of the Sacred Transformation. This Circle of Druids arose in Larensia to emulate the miraculous powers of the Larensian pantheon's primary god, Triskus the thorn god. Druids of this circle take on an important role in Triskan religion. Such druids act as a bridge between Triskan clerics and nature that has been blessed by Triskus. They endeavor to live out what they consider Triskus' will - that the destiny of the world is to be subsumed by Larensian people, flora, and fauna. Druids of the circle of the Sacred Transformation focus their powers on the transformation of humanoids - whether they are changing their own blood into acid or transforming other creatures into food for the rite of holy consumption.
