Glad to help! I’m somebody who wishes more videos were blog posts so I totally get it. I tend to enjoy Matt Colville’s videos, though.

There’s a short summary at https://shop.mcdmproductions.com/collections/the-talent-and-psionics/products/the-talent, with a few excerpts from the PDF (in images, unfortunately), but I felt like in this case the video covered it better.

And yeah, I feel like strain could be so much fun to roleplay, compared to spell slots.

Has anybody tried this while it was in beta? I’m super curious about what the powers are, and what the strain dice rolls look like.

Not sure who Raith Roguestar is, but the original source for these monsters (and more! a Pumpkin King boss with lair/legendary actions!) appears to be https://emberdm.tumblr.com/post/188729099266/medievil-pumpkins-dd-5e-monster-stats-for.
