Chuck's Comments: Of all the things I've "accomplished" in Modern 2.0 (and I use quotes because, until I see how the PUBLIC receives it, I've "accomplished" jack and shit), the Star has to be the thing I'm the happiest about.

To see my players go "a class based on Charisma and perks? with a low BAB, who would play that" to "this class is so broken and overpowered!" in the span of one playtest was really satisfying in an odd way.

I went from defending the class' existence, to defending that it would be LESS overpowered as part of a group.
