Really, to pimp out another product (and possibly a better way to go for this), I present to you, Iron Tortious' adamantine Strike, from the Dreamscarred Press Warder/Path of War. Adamantine Shell:
Discipline: Iron Tortoise (Counter); Level: 8
Prerequisites: 3 Iron Tortoise Maneuvers Initiation Action: 1 immediate action Range: Personal Target: You By seemingly empowering his shield with his will and perfectly setting himself against an attack, the Iron Tortoise master may attempt to render almost any attack against his person harmless. The initiator makes an opposed attack roll using his base attack bonus plus shield bonus to AC, if successful negate the attack. On a failed opposed attack roll, instead gain DR 50/- against that attack. Obviously tone it down, as DR 50/- is silly, but have it be an opposed attack roll with dodge bonuses plus BAB, once per round? It isn't an auto deflect, and if it misses have it give like DR 3-5/-? seems fair enough ![]()
I feel like this class needs a class feature to help make it pop. If you look at the Magus, it has Spell Combat and Spell Strike, as both very iconic things it can do. As it stands, you took the Cleric's 3 levels of casting away, and gave it bonus feats, slower channeling and the poor man's domains for.... martial weapon proficiency, a few bonus feats and a self buff that only lasts for one weapon. It has all of the downsides of both the Cleric and the Fighter, with none of the upsides. It needs some unique mechanics to make it stand out. ![]()
The issue I have with the hunter is it just feels like an inquisitor archetype rather then it's own base class. Animal Focus is just the poor man's Judgement, giving less of a bonus usually and not lasting as long (granted if a combat is lasting more then a minute, something has went wrong), Instead of a domain you get an animal companion (which a domain can get you but...). When you hit second, you'd get track (Dohohoho), and instead of cunning initiative or detect alignment, you get wild empathy... And even at third.... you get.... teamwork feats... plus... basically solo tactics. I guess if that's what you're going for, it should be fine, however I do feel like an Inquisitor to the animal domain can fill that niche a little later on (which if you wanna fill it sooner that works, if that's the purpose of the class hey, I can't complain), but I don't feel like it captures the name of the class very well. ![]()
Just curious, for the next books in the series/Ultimate Psionics, do you think you're going to add more re flavorings to Psionics? I don't mind being able to refluff it myself, but I'd almost want a bit more built in for the curmudgeons who demand rules to every bit of flavor. If it's too much work, I totally understand as it seems like quite a bit for a small amount of people wanting something like it. |
