What about an individual born with a Sorcerer who uses it to further combat ability instead of to cast spells. A Fighter or Ranger with a Sorcerer bloodline, basically. It should not cast spells.
1)a 8 + int mod class without sneak attack nor its variant.
2) a "BadAss class".

a dragon disciple like prestige class for good aligned oracles who are evolving into angelic beings. maybe throw in something like charisma bonus as a Sacred bonus to AC/Saving Throws when unarmored
a prestige class for playing a Dio Brando/Izayoi Sakuya homeage without having to go into epic levels.
a low magic monk archtype similar to martial artist that gains the ability to use most of it's unarmed bonuses (like damage dice and flurry) with light blades, proficiency in every light blade, parrying bonuses with light blades, and growing weapon training (light blades) at the cost of the Ki pool and Ki related powers. essentially, a badass master of all light bladed weapons from the dagger to the wakazashi.

Hey SmiloDan, any updates on the Enforcer class? I'm quite interested in it, and it might find a place in the next campaign I'm running.

Still working on it. It's going to be a combo of at will powers and some swift action/immediate action 1 round buffs and defenses from a limited pool of power, probably similar in frequency to barbarian rage rounds or bardic performance rounds. Also a selection of reserve powers that the enforcer can access as long as they have a certain number of force points (maybe just 1 point).
Don't know if you mess with Psionic classes or not, but I'm looking for a Prestige Class that draws from both Paladin & Psion.
Or some type of psionic paladin type

I would love to see a Pathfinder Shaman class ala (forgive the reference) original Everquest. A divine support class with a potentially powerful pet. Hybrid of a cleric/ranger/druid pet/ oracle/witch who's divine powers come from the spirit world?
I don't know if it feasible or possible but the EQ style shaman has been my ideal fantasy character since I was very young, predating even EQ.

Hmm ... well then, you just might want to keep your eyes open for the Winter issue of Kobold Quarterly then ... ;)

A shaman casts divine spells drawn from the druid spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a shaman must have a Charisma score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a shaman’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the shaman’s Charisma modifier.
Like other spellcasters, a shaman can cast only a certain number of spells per day of each spell level. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Oracle. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Charisma score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).
Unlike other divine spellcasters, a shaman’s selection of spells is extremely limited. A shaman begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of her choice. At each new oracle level, she gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Oracle Spells Known. Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a shaman knows is not affected by her Charisma score; the numbers on Table: Oracle Spells Known are fixed.
In addition to the spells gained by shamans as they gain levels, each shaman also adds all of either the cure spells or the inflict spells to her list of spells known (cure spells include all spells with “cure” in the name, inflict spells include all spells with “inflict” in the name). These spells are added as soon as the shaman is capable of casting them. This choice is made when the shaman gains her first level and cannot be changed.
Upon reaching 4th level, and at every even-numbered oracle level after that (6th, 8th, and so on), a shaman can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the shaman loses the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged. A shaman may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that she gains new spells known for the level. She cannot swap any cure or inflict spells, nor can she swap any spells gained from her totems. Unlike a druid, a shaman need not prepare her spells in advance. She can cast any spell she knows at any time, assuming she has not yet used up her spells per day for that spell level. Shamans do not need to provide a divine focus to cast spells that list divine focus (DF) as part of the components.

SmiloDan, dude, you need to make a pdf of all your classes or some sort of database on another site. Its hard to look up your classes without having you repost them.
SmiloDan, dude, you need to make a pdf of all your classes or some sort of database on another site. Its hard to look up your classes without having you repost them.
I second this. A database would be so awesome.
Yo. Gotta DB for ya.
Thanks Cheapy, but I already have that bookmarked. I'm saying SmiloDan needs his own. I don't want to sift through other's work to find his.
I agree with Spyder25. SmiloDan, you've got some truly amazing base classes here. Seriously! I'd love to use some of them in one of my games or at least show them to my friends. It is hard to look up all the classes while they're just posted here in the forum, though. You should consider it! ^_^
On another note, I've got a suggestion. I fell in love with shadow magic from 3.5's Tome of Magic and have been trying to adapt it for a possible Pathfinder campaign (I feel like it'd translate somewhat well), but I'd like to see a shadow magic user that preps mysteries like a wizard and has the potential to learn as many mysteries as he/she can get his/her hands on. Pathfinder's "shadow magic" as seen in Inner Sea magic left me disappointed (though there was some good feats, I was expecting something similar to Tome of Magic). The shadowcaster class they give in ToM is great, but I feel like shadow magic deserves another base class. If you could, that'd be fantastic!! ^_^

I've kind of been thinking of it....if only because I like all the "dark" magic spells available at 4th level: black tentacles, enervation, phantasmal killer, and shadow conjuration.
The new Cyst Master. I am currently trying to design a new game world called the Wasteland. It's in a giant spaceship with multiple environments in it. Wasteland is the one closest to the massive reactors. I's like Rama meets ringworld. Anyways, radiation exposure should have a chance to cause cancer, but a Cyst Master could stay alive and infect their enemies.
What about a Demon Weapon class?
I created races based off of this a while back. I'll look to see if I posted them.
I agree with Spyder25. SmiloDan, you've got some truly amazing base classes here. Seriously! I'd love to use some of them in one of my games or at least show them to my friends. It is hard to look up all the classes while they're just posted here in the forum, though. You should consider it! ^_^
On another note, I've got a suggestion. I fell in love with shadow magic from 3.5's Tome of Magic and have been trying to adapt it for a possible Pathfinder campaign (I feel like it'd translate somewhat well), but I'd like to see a shadow magic user that preps mysteries like a wizard and has the potential to learn as many mysteries as he/she can get his/her hands on. Pathfinder's "shadow magic" as seen in Inner Sea magic left me disappointed (though there was some good feats, I was expecting something similar to Tome of Magic). The shadowcaster class they give in ToM is great, but I feel like shadow magic deserves another base class. If you could, that'd be fantastic!! ^_^
I've kind of been thinking of it....if only because I like all the "dark" magic spells available at 4th level: black tentacles, enervation, phantasmal killer, and shadow conjuration.
Totally know how you feel. I've been finding a lot of cool "dark" spells available for pretty much any class across both 3.5 and Pathfinder. And it doesn't just stop at fourth level spells. Ultimate Magic has a great eighth level spell called "orb of the void" that would totally fit the "dark magic" feel, plus I've found so many others in various supplements (I don't know how obvious it is, but I love magic supplements ^_^).
If possible, I would like this class to stick with the spell/mystery list provided for shadow magic in Tome of Magic, because it is pretty awesome and seems very unique in how it captures that dark feel (not to mention it still feels balanced in comparison with other spell lists that go up to 9th level spells). However, when I was trying to brainstorm a new shadow magic base class, I got stuck on how to translate how mysteries work between a spontaneous caster like the shadow caster (not sure if it's classified that way, but it feels that way to me) and a prepared caster like what I'd love to see. The fact that mysteries receive slightly different treatment than spells made it tougher for me, and I eventually gave up to pursue other goals. Not to mention I don't feel like I have enough experience to create a balanced base class.

I'm bored: give me ideas for a new base class I can design!!!
I'd love to see a take on a druid that was for constructs, not nature. So repair spells, Machine form, etc

The machine shape ability would have to be "Roll out!".
This has been done quite a few times though. HGG's Clockworker is similar.

I have a prestige class (some where) that gave warforged druids the ability to become animal effigies (construct template in 3.5).
So take Wildshape, and force the paizo clockwork template onto the form you take?
Or did you want to be a dishwasher?

A mechanical panther with twin rifles on my back? A robotic eagle with bombs?
Take the clockwork I linked to, and apply the synthesist and evolutionist summoner archetypes to it. Tada!

What about a Demon Weapon class?I created races based off of this a while back. I'll look to see if I posted them.
That would be appreciated, as would a class if anyone wants to make one.
I made a Gun Mage class with the help of some people. I think most of the people on this thread have seen it, but I'll send a link to the pdf if anyone wants to see it.

Souldbinder (Witch Archetype) - rough draft, needs better formatting
Witch is bound to a creature that can transform into a weapon. Witch would know spells but not need the familiar and would not get the patron spells. Changed out the word Demon so it could be accessable to good characters.
Soulbound Servant (Su): A Soulbound Servant is a creature that is bound to the Witch and can be changed into a Soulbound Weapon. The type of Weapon is chosen with each transformation. The Servant is a NPC with basic stats, NPC levels equal to the witch level minus 1 (min. 1), and all gear coming from the Witch's funds. The Servant can spend hours/day equal to 1/2 Witch level (min. 1) as the Weapon. The Witch can command the Servant to transform into the Weapon, as a standard action, a number of times per day equal to 3 + Witch's Charisma modifier. This ability replaces a Witch's Familiar.
If a Soulbound Servant is lost or dies, it can be replaced 1 day later through a special ritual that costs 500 gp per witch level.
Create an Unwilling Servant: The Witch must enact a ritual taking 24 hours to complete. The creature gets a Fort save (DC=10 + 1/2 Witch's level + Int modifier) at the end of the ritual to resist the transformation. The creature must be bound and placed in a cauldron that has been filled with components (herbs, chemicals, etc) worth 1000 gp times the creatures Challenge Rating (min. 1000 gp). If the creature escapes the cauldron before the ritual is complete, the ritual fails and the components are used up.
Soulbound Weapon A Soulbound Weapon counts as a masterwork weapon in addition to any Weapon Abilities the Witch knows. A Witch uses her Int modifier to hit instead of her Str when wielding the Soulbound Weapon. If the Witch is not profiecient with the type of weapon she transformed the Soulbound Weapon into, she takes the normal penalties for non-proficiency.
When any creature, besides the Witch who created it, attempts to yield the Soulbound Weapon it works as a masterwork weapon until it is activated. Activating the Weapon is a full round action that requires a Will save (DC = 10 + Witch's level). An activated Soulbound weapon bestows two permanent negative levels on any creature attempting to wield it besides the Weapons creator. The negative level remains as long as the weapon is in hand and disappears when the weapon is no longer wielded.
Destroying the Soulbound Weapon slays the Soulbound Servant.
Weapon Abilities: enhancements, magic weapon special abilities upgrades, etc. Needs work to balance. Replaces hexes.

Souldbinder (Witch Archetype) ...
I went for the Soulbound Servant as the Demon Weapon and the Witch as the Meister(kinda).
I am pretty sure I saw a Summoner that could call a weapon somewhere. I created a Summoner who called forth weapons and armor myself when the APG first came out, but I never loaded it to my Google Docs and the HDD crapped the bed so I am SOL. Was pretty easy to create. I made 4 varieties; celestial, infernal, first world, and dark tapestry. Sounds like I have a project to recreate...

I created an archtype like that too, just weapons though. You started with a base form for the weapons and spent evolution points to upgrade it.
I would like to see a class that copies animials and then magic creatures for its fighting style taking on the aspect of what it is mimicing

Disciplines (Su): The anchorite is the master of controlling telekinetic forces. There are four main disciplines of telekinesis: Enhancement, Manipulation, Propulsion, Repulsion. The Enhancement discipline focuses on using telekinetic energy to improve the anchorite’s physical body and abilities. The Manipulation discipline focuses on using telekinesis to perform fine motor tasks, such as ranged legerdemain or wielding weapons telekinetically, and subtle applications of force, such as choking an opponent or slowing the flow of blood to their brain so they become unconscious. The Propulsion discipline focuses on violent thrusts of telekinetic energy. The Repulsion discipline focuses on sustaining force fields to protect the anchorite. Some powers crossover multiple disciplines.
Each anchorite has his own strengths and weaknesses. An anchorite selects a primary discipline, a secondary discipline, a tertiary discipline, and quaternary discipline. His primary discipline is also called his major discipline, his secondary, tertiary, and quaternary disciplines are also referred to as his minor disciplines. At 1st level, the anchorite learns two 1st level powers in his major discipline and one 1st level power in each of his three minor disciplines.
At 2nd level, and every level thereafter, the anchorite learns an additional power in his primary discipline. At 3rd level, and every 3 levels thereafter, the anchorite gains access to higher level powers, up to a maximum of 7th level powers at 18th level.
Also at 2nd level, and every level thereafter, the anchorite gains an additional power in one of his minor disciplines, either his secondary, tertiary, or quaternary discipline. He cannot gain a power in the same minor discipline two levels in a row. The anchorite gains access to higher level powers in his secondary discipline at level 4 and every 4 levels thereafter, to a maximum of 6th level powers at 20th level. The anchorite gains access to higher level powers in his tertiary discipline at 5th level and every 5 levels thereafter, to a maximum of 5th level powers at 20th level. The anchorite gains access to higher level powers in his quaternary discipline at levels 7, 13, and 19.
SmiloDan, you might consider trying your hand at making a Spell-Thief that doesn't completely suck. The concept was great, but the execution in Complete Adventurer was meh. You might actually make them worth playing (based on your previous work).

The Warlock A Conversion for Pathfinder
Master Arminas
So anyways, I'm still developing the telekinetic Anchorite.
I'm trying to determing what its "casting stat" should be. I was thinking of using Constitution, just to be different. I think the 3.0 rules used Constitution as the casting stat for Telekinetics, and it would be unique, but I'm worried it would be a bit unbalancing. I don't want a bunch of point-buy anchorites running around with 18 Str, 18 Dex, 18 Con, 7 Int, 7 Wis, 7 Cha!!!!
Also, there is going to be a pool of power points to power some abilities. Some, or even most, will be at will. I also plan on each major discipline to have a reserve power that will be available at will as long as the anchorite has at least 1 point in his reserve.
The Enhancement discipline will probably give a +1 bonus to Str or Dex, or a +10 bonus to speed.
The Manipulation discipline will provide a far hand ability, similar to mage hand, but with a Str and Dex equal to the anchorite's level, and a range of 10 feet per anchorite level.
The Propulsion discipline will provide a telekinetic ram ability with a range of 10 feet per level, that does 1d6 points of damage as a ranged touch attack, with damage increasing by 1d6 at level 3, 6, 9, etc.
The Repulsion discipline will provide a bonus +1 to AC, that the anchorite can switch between armor, deflection, and shield.
The Reserve Powers gained at 2nd, 5th, and every 3 levels thereafter will either provide additional reserve powers (in order of secondary, tertiary, and quaternary, with required power points increasing by 2, 3, and 4, respectively) or grant additional abilities to the reserve power, like increasing range, damage, bonus amount, number of attributes enhanced, etc. etc.
I'm also wondering how many power points the anchorite should get: 4 + ability modifier at 1st level, +2 per level thereafter, like a barbarian's rage or bard's performance? Level + ability modifier like the alchemist's bombs? 1/2 Level + ability modifier like the monk's ki? 3 + ability modifier like the cleric's channel energy and many domain, bloodline, and school powers?
I am afraid I not really familiar with anchorite. But I do like the idea of a telekinetic class that is a full-blown psion. I would be hesitant to use Con as a casting stat, however--much abuse lies in that direction.
