Thanks GM, copied this over to the handout as well.

Check out the feat Right hand blood for a bit of 2e "right is better than left" lore. My gnoll will take it eventually, but as a lefty myself I'll reskin the feat to lose the "left is evil" flavor.

@Possible Cabbage: PFS is not the default. Previous reviews have just made mention of any differences in PFS. As to the occultist, I think your second line "Since in any...." and is perfect for the guide. I would just offer that type of advice. That is the kind of stuff that no-system-mastery lurkers like me love to read. Insightful and fun.

@Wonderstell: PM sent!

@avr: Thank you! Please do use this formatting even when there is no dip score:
Dip Power , Versatility
Full Power , Versatility
It saves me a bunch of time in aggregate.

RE: +3 (or any other variation) Please keep it to -2 to +2, or "-" if not relevant. avr nailed the rationale.

RE: Centering. My secret dream is to get this on Broken Zenith's site. I'm a big fanboy and I suppose I kept the centering to mirror his site... and my dreams. ;) There will be a ton of minor editing when this is closer to completion. Until then I'm mostly worried about content.

Hi everyone,
First, thanks for your patience and input.

RE: Dips. We have a substantial number of archetypes that already have dip ratings. I don't want to lose that knowledge. If you don't have a dip rating for an archetype, that's fine. Just keep the same formatting and leave the dip section blank (ie, you haven't rated it) or with a dash "-" (ie a dip is meaningless.) That will help build us toward the holy grail of a uniformly formatted document.

RE: Links. The last link above is view only. The "edit" language in the URL actually doesn't mean you can edit. I tested by logging out of all google accounts and using that link to get back to the document, it was view only for me. Also (and interestingly, to me at least) I generated links for commenting, editing and viewing. They all end with "edit?usp=sharing"

Re: Witches. I'm not sure why you aren't seeing them, UnArcaneElection. I have them added as of 1:30 pm yesterday. (With the big caveat that I haven't yet followed by own rules for formatting, I will though!) That said, considering all the problems we've been having with links that work, don't work and then work again, maybe it's a google doc issue?

Apologies for that. Wonderstell & Dasrak, please pm me your addresses and I'll add you as editors.
For everyone, I think I've added most of the recent additions from this thread. To ensure overall quality (and make my work a bit easier,) please stick to this format:

Archetype Name
Dip Power X, Versatility X
Full Power X, Versatility X
Explanatory Copy. This should be stand alone copy, ie it shouldn't reference other archetypes (unless described in the copy) and shouldn't assume the reader understands the intricacies of the system.

Even if you don't have a score for the dip (or full) please include the line. You can use Dip Power -, Versatility - , for example, if you don't have a dip score.

Thanks!

Hi Wonderstell,
I'm not sure what the issue might be, I haven't touched any of the permissions. here is the LINK to view again, just in case.

Hi everyone, this all looks great. I'm not commenting much here, but I am slowly pulling all of the write ups into the document. Please keep up the good work!

Thank you, everyone!

Dasrak: I completely agree about getting permissions to use any content. I won't be moving forward with that yet, but if I do I'll make sure to get permission first.
Wonderstell: Thanks so much! I'll work to incorporate all of your write ups soon.

Life/work are a bit hectic right now, but I'll keep on this.

Cheers,
Hyland

Thanks, Dasrak. All of your ratings have been added. If you'd like, I can PM you a link with editing rights.

I am considering pulling material from the various class guides (many of them have archetype guides) but haven't decided how to best do so.

More to come...

Hi All,
I had a burst of energy and made extensive edits. I'd say 80% of the archetypes have links to the SRD and the general layout is coming together.

The document is huge, over 150 pages. I haven't counted, but I'm not convinced we have ratings for even half of all the archetypes.

At this point I'd love help with general editing and to start getting people's ratings. If you're interested, please respond here.

Thank you Lazaryus: original post now edited with working link. Double thanks to you Dasrak for your link fix and your original work on the ratings themselves.

Hi everyone,
Apologies for necroing this thread.

I'm a long-time lurker and a big fan of the archetype guide. I wanted to give something back to the community, so I've started reformatting the archetype list. My vision is a comprehensive document with one formatting style and voice. I've done quite a bit of the rough work already and am near the point where I need to share it with the broader community (I don't have the system mastery to comment on the ratings.)

I wanted to check with this group before moving forward. Is this worthwhile endeavor? What is the best way to proceed? I have many questions I'd like to ask.

If people are interested, we can discuss how to best move forward and how people want to be involved. I've never done anything like this before and am very interested in how people think we can best collect ratings for the many (many!) unrated archetypes.

If it isn't worth pursuing, at the very least I can provide you with an updated version of the list with all archetypes, links to the pfsrd and uniform layout.

Regardless, here's what I have so far:

Cheers and thanks for any feedback.
