There are fungi IRL that "mind control zombie ants". I think Spore Druids having Animate Dead is fair, since the bodies in this case are merely hosts for a parasitic/symbiotic entity.

Thanks, Niara. Larian is a bunch of kooky chemists cooking up stuff.

This game had a lot of potential, but so much dev time was spent on meme and quick hits for online articles.

Even the dark elements of the story I can't take seriously.

Niara, thank you very much for your time and dedication. I've watched it, but didn't pay that close attention, so there is a lot of detail I only caught up thanks to you.

Also brilliant and on point analysis of what we actually saw. As always.

Thanks for the positive comments folks! It's been a bit of a dedication, but I'm glad to have made something that at least some folks may find useful ^.^

Thanks ^.^

First, flurry of blows seemed incapable of spreading its attacks across multiple targets, [...] it seemed like there was no ki-less flurry option? Admittedly, perhaps I missed it, but their attempt to increase how much ki we get won't mean much if our ki-less features get removed.

You're right on the first count - it was two strikes on the same target automatically - including losing the second attack if your first kills the target. This is a loss of flexibility and control, and is unfortunately normal for Larian's decision-making. On the other score at least, I saw that there was another button, located quite far away in a different section of the bar, that was also called Martial Arts, but I believe had a slightly different (though very similar) icon - that was your bonus action single attack, and didn't cost ki. I think we saw one of the monks in the demonstration use this one.
