Congrats you proved that a subclass that is in desperate need of buffs to use its big flashy ability instead got nerfed and youre trying to defend it???

Im just here to discuss impossible magic. Dark Archive is the other thread. And also, it would be incredibly funny.

I meant to reply to someone else in this thread my bad

Those changes to the psychic sound about perfect to me. There is no reason an amped cantrip needed to heighten as well better than the damage for many spell slot spells.

This also makes me think that Impossible Magic is going to at least have to have a couple more spell slot spell attack roll spells, because it seems like spellstrike is mostly staying the same.

There are a million reasons it should do exactly that because amped cantrips are what are given to the psychic for them to be compete with spell slot spells(and hence lower spell slot count). If they arent as good as spell slots and barely as good as regular focus spells then why wouldnt you just play the sorcerer - a class that has around the same power of current focus spells and also comes with double the spell slots

Someone posted some of the changes for the psychic here:

Reddit Post

Assuming they caught all the changes (always a risk with preliminary reddit user screening) its a pretty bleak story for the Psychic. They nerfed it and didn't do anything to compensate for the massive power increase/glow-up other casters got now that they can re-focus every 10 mins. Still a 2 spell per rank caster, with nerfed amped focus spells who gets stupefied in round 4 and loses their main class benefit.

Not like those 4 spells per rank oracles who actually just got a second class focus pool via cursebound trait options or those wiley 4 spells per rank (at a mild delay) animists that can also start with 2 focus points and who have good focus spells as well.

Now I know why they didn't run any PR for this remaster book. Someone realized after they sent it to the printers that they beefed it.

Awaiting the thaumaturge changes. At the bottom of that reddit post someone wrote:
- Chalice scales better / buffed in other ways
- Lantern intensify better
- Mirror adept is now a 'Can' choose to explode
- Wand does better damage more often
- Paired Link huge buff

So hoping they didn't stealth nerf other things in my favourite class. Some glimmer of hope.

The imaginary weapon nerf is so reactionary to the community its embarrassing. You can still pick it up 6 but its just weakened for the base class itself. Which is so weird to me, the amped focus cantrip needs to be better than other class focus spell AND needs to beat out other amped psi cantrips because it needs to be cast melee. Now its barely a side-grade and still needs you be in melee and risk reactive strikes. They couldve simply made it so you cant pickup the exclusive amped cantrips.

I feel like magical items would feel more powerful if the skills involved with money making actually gave you a decent money to spend so you can experiment around with them. Crafting, the supposed premier money and item generating skill fails to do much in this system. I picked it up on my Magus because magus is generally very money intensive needing both wizarding and martial equipment and crafting just felt like a dead skill to me.
