CMIIW, but at the Hero Shrine segment in the Nodes chapter, you state that you only get Mastery if you interact with a hero that's already completed their story chapters. I recall this isn't true - You also get Mastery if you complete a story chapter successfully (It is never worth selecting a story-complete hero over an ongoing one, basically).

I've been following your DD2 content since you started making them and I wasn't super thrilled in the beginning and figured I'd just stick with DD1. As the release approaches and I'm seeing how things have been finalized (though still subject to change) I'm a lot more hopeful, just wish listed the game on Steam and can't wait to rage when my Chad Leper misses three attacks in a row but now in DD2

Stress mechanics suck at the moment sadly. Basically want to have jester or MAA, heal people at 5+. There are other ways to handle it like items and wagon gear, or use heroes like leper and hellion to taunt and soak it up since they can remove it easily. Dismas with take aim and grape shot can be a decent stress healer as well. Vestal is another one with sanctuary.
