Incanter Class
This project by Subtle Forge is an experiment in developing a caster class that does not make use of spell slots and generates magic through creative use of action economy and skill use.
The core of the idea grew from noticing the utilization of some skills (like Acrobatics or Athletics) over others, which appear in a lot of cases to be limited to serving as different sources of information. But what if Arcana (in the case of the Incanter, for example), actually represented a character’s capacity to enact magical abilities, much like Athletics allows interesting and creative combat maneuvers? Would this approach open up greater flexibility and creativity to the player?
The goal of the project has been to build a caster freed from some of the rigidities of the action economy and the spell slot system built into the other existing casters, while remaining true to the balance and build of the Pathfinder 2e ruleset. It also led to some really great fun, roleplaying, and creative thinking for the players.
Open to thoughts, (constructive) feedback, and curiosity.
