I was super excited to see this ancestry from EOG, and a little disappointed when I opened the file. It feels slapped together quickly, and a little lower on the quality side compare to other EOG products I've purchased.
A few notes:
I love the buzzklin movement ability. Since the stinger is a little weak it feels like it nicely rounds out the ancestry features, though I don't see traits listed for the ancestry. Maybe humanoid and beast? I don't know. The lore and flavor are spot on, though.
A couple of the heritages are troubling. The Royal Buzzklin gives training in a skill already granted by the Buzzklin Movement feature. The Scout Buzzklin heritage's ability is probably way too early; there is a similar archetype feat for the Horizon Walker at level 6 and the Catfolk at level 9. Maybe to give the Scout Dedication with the heritage (more in line with the ancient elf) and switch the heritage ability with the Scout's Manner feat at level 9 might be better? Anywho, just a suggestion since that stood out a bit; I personally wouldn't have a problem with it running as-is at my table. And the Nursing Buzzklin gives training in Medicine; it probably should be Nature since it gives the Natural Medicine skill feat. I'd love to see these issues fixed and update my review. I love your products!
Edit: "The You Like Music?" feat probably should lose the action icon as well. Also, 2/3 of the level 13-17 feats have to do with flying (in one form or another). Maybe a little more variety?
Edit again: Forgot to say that the art is fantastic.
Edit again again: Felt like 3 stars was too harsh.. it's a great ancestry. =) Still hope to see an update.
Late Edit (May 04, 2023): Went to create a Buzzklin and realized just how "slapped together" this ancestry really was. Does not even have a speed statistic? Sorry guys, gotta downgrade this one. I am happy to update this review later when the ancestry is updated.
