Instead of increasing spell slots, what if the psychic was the one class that has a larger focus pool. What if they had a max focus pool of 6 instead of 3?
Alchemist is good for higher accuracy on martials. Bestial Mutagen, war blooded (uncommon, ask gm), and fury cocktail mutagens give a higher item bonus than available potency rune at most levels. You can buy a collar of the shifting spider at 5th level to inject a mutagen as a free action when you roll initiative. This eliminates the action tax of drinking it at the start of combat.
I'm not a fan of the new cross-blooded evolution for 2 reasons. The first reason is that takes away a key difference for me for divine and occult casters. Now , I struggle to find a reason to play an occult or divine sorcerer over a bard/cleric/oracle. (This doesn't affect my decision for primal/arcane). The second is that the blood magic effects are a bit to fiddley for my taste. I have to make notes on all my blood magic spells about the effect as a reminder for 1 round effects. With the new feat, I will need to make additional notes.
Great guide. Particularly like the points about wands and scrolls. Only thing I might add are a couple of items. Shadow signet for attack spells and the retrieval belt (free action once per minute to retrieve an item previously stored). I've mainly used it for scrolls, but a caster could use it for a staff if they're not actively wielding it. |
