ok, I typed up a template/spell description. Reading the Ice Beast template, I found I liked the way it was worded better than the Dustform, so most of this is based off of ice beast. I also found a better way to utilized a Craft(origami) check, which I think fits nicely with the concept of paperfolding. I uploaded the pdf to rapidshare here: Paperform Creature again, any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thanks Set, all of your suggestions make perfect sense. I had missed the default construct immunities, and they do seem a lot better than the ones the paper golem used. 19-20/x2 is better too. do you have any suggestions on how I should present the class? ( as in wizard variant vs stand-alone base). I'm leaning towards trying to make it work simply as a wizard variant, but it seems to powerful to label that way. As for Paper Folding Instructions of Master Mo, that is a great item! It wont work directly with what I'm trying to do there, but I definitely want to try and use it another time. thanks for pointing it out!
ok, So I think I figured out how to play it. My main questions now are if it seems over/under powered, I'm sure a few things will need to be tweaked... and if I should consider it as simply a wizard variant or a completely different class, which is just very similar to the wizard. if it is better suited as a wizard variant, what else should I remove? maybe restrict another school? to start, I took all the Conjurer variants from Unearthed Arcana, it says that all of them can be in a single character since they all remove different abilities. they can be seen here: Specialist Wizard Variants and then I figured at first level the character would get a "Paperform Summoning" ability, something like this: "With a successful Craft(Origami) check, the wizard is able to invoke her summoning through her paper creations. Creatures summoned this way gain special paperform characteristics." a successful check would be: 10 + spell level (and something else maybe?) for the special paperform characteristics, I was considering using the abilities from the Paper Golem, they don't seem too powerful, I've summarized them below : Augmented Critical - the razor thin arms allow it to make lethal attacks, the creature threatens a critical hit on an 18-20 and deals x3 damage Immunity to Magic - immune to any spell or spell like ability that allows spell resistance Vulnerable to Fire - any fire spell deals an extra 50% damage, regardless if creature makes the save, paper creature also catches on fire, taking 1/2 the initial damage on the following round Vulnerable to Slashing - creature takes additional 50% damage from slashing attacks ----- I'm also thinking about how I should handle the creatures that can be summoned, I see that a
thanks! :D I hadn't even considered tweaking a summoning spell, but that should work out great. thanks a lot for the fast replies !
I'm trying to make a character that folds origami animals and then sends them off the fight/endure for her. With the obvious craft(origami) aside, I'm starting to think this may be a little closer to impossible than I had thought... The only way I've been able to find that I could possibly accomplish this would be through the Animate Objects spell, or a Craft Construct feat, both of which have severe limitations. Animate Objects is a 6th level spell, making it not very accessible for repeated use till the higher levels, and Craft Construct has not only a high level requirement, but a large time requirement for every construction. So, my question is, does anyone know of a way I might be able to pull something like this off at a lower level? and be able to do it a decent amount of times a day? I did look at shadow magic mystery that animates objects, but even that wouldn't be available until 10th level, and one could only use it 2 times a day, correct? is there a way perhaps to do it with prestidigitation maybe? thanks for any help you can provide with this |
