Good Morning ALLCON,
Please advise me on a non-spellcasting, martial archetype for the Bloodrager. The bloodline powers & flavor interest me greatly, but I would like martial ability instead of spellcasting levels. My goal is to allow more martial style & flavor, contrasting Bloodlines' savage potential. Please help me balance this?
Ideas kicked around were replacing Spellcaster levels with: 1 / X Level (Fighter) Bonus Feats, (some) Fighter style progression (Two-Handed, Freehand, etc.) as per the Advanced Player's Handbook's class options for Fighter. But how much of one such progression would be equal to the forfeited spellcasting?
The exemplar character I have in mind would be soldierly, steadily fighting to control her Rage through martial discipline. Martial artistry would be her way of focusing her (Draconic) bloodline's destructive tendencies.
If a class(es) has already been done to simulate this, that would be welcome to know too! The concept of playing a usually calm, collected 'good soldier' whose martial self-discipline is to keep that power in check (Ex: Ryu, Street Fighter ALL) could prove fun!
