Bundles Duplicate Names

I also bundle the titles. There is an “all ERS” bundle It’s not uncommon that people describing similar that includes all titles, but I also do smaller bundles ideas come up with similar names. The name of a feat where two titles have a lot of overlap. For instance, the that allows a cavalier to issue more challenges in a day cleric and inquisitor both use the same domains, and would quite naturally be ‘Extra Challenges’ or ‘Extra the domains chapters are quite large. I will likely have Challenge’.In fact, two publishers each published a feat an ‘Agents of Faith’ bundle that includes these two ti- named ‘Extra Challenge’… but one version gives one tles, and probably my ‘Hybrid Domains’ book (when extra challenge per day, and the other gives two. that’s done).

For RAF and WIP titles, that isan additional very close but with some substantive change (the Extra 25% off: titles in RAF are at a 75% discount and titles Challenge feats mentioned above).
