Just a quick note to announce the addition of a bunch of ozu feats to the Square Fireball compendium.
Normally I try not to publish a new heritage without at least a bit of feat support (since the lack of support is the biggest problem with most of the underdeveloped official options—we hardly need more of that!). But then I remembered how my brain works—and how I really need to just get done with whatever I can, whenever I can—and I went ahead and set the ozu free at the beginning of the year.
(Also, not gonna lie, I just had a lot of fun writing up the ozu and wanted to share it. I am not personally a part of the slime fandom, as it were, but I like to think I did a good job enabling the full spectrum from “little guy” to “don’t kinkshame”.)
Anyway, now I’m pleased to report there’s finally some feat support to go along with your gormless goo friend. You can access them from the compendium, naturally, but I’ll also list them below for quick reference.
(Next, swallower feats!)
