If this has been errated, I missed it so apologies ahead of time :)

I noticed in 5E Way Of The Warrior and Way Of The Artisan both do not discount Improved Reflexes whereas they did in 4E. Is this intentional? If so, it's all good just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something posted elsewhere.

Thanks

Fairly sure it's intentional that the most powerful adept power doesn't get to be discounted.  ;D

I could see house ruling that you can discount the second or third levels of it.  That puts it on power level with others.

In my original draft, yes, Improved Reflexes was on the list for the discount. But in post-edit, it was removed for the reason that it was the most powerful of the adept powers. I'm OK with it because I tried to make the various lists continued powers unique to the way, not just a generic discount across the board.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

And you did a wonderful job, just wanted to be sure :)
