February is a long ways away.
Why call it an anthology? I thought anthologies were a collection of stories, songs, or poems.
Plus the fact we've had two other anthologies...
This looks awesome, and I love the occult rules; but uh.. shouldn't Divine Anthology have come first?
... Scratch that.... I missed it's announcement.
You mean this?
*sheepishly* yeah that!
Cantriped,
Yes Divine Anthology will be before this anthology...
I hope we see an archetype for the Shaman that gives it access to the spiritualist class's phantom. :D

I want a Solipsism discipline for Psychics. Discipline power that boosts self buffs, and Subjective Reality has to be a bonus spell.

I'd also like to see a Mesmerist archetype that gives access to Psychic class only spells. :D

Wishlist:
A quicker (not quick, but quicker) way to swap spirits for Mediums.
More things for Kineticists.
Even More things for Kineticists

Yes, more things for Kineticist and even more things for Kineticist.

There's a lot of room for new disciplines; Superiority (good at overpowering Spell Resistance), Materialist (object focused psi), Competitor (bonuses to opposed checks, caster level checks, concentration checks, etc.), Dualist (mind/body focus, perhaps able to use Somatic component in place of Emotion component when affected by a fear effect or something), Hedonism/Sensation (better able to handle concentration checks involving damage / distraction as she 'rides the wave'), Individualist/Solipsist (bonuses when not near another ally, or when using group abilities on herself alone), etc.

Definitely. All the spells derived from 1st edition AD&D psionic attack/defense modes (Ego Whip, Mental Barrier, Tower of Iron Will, Id Insinuation, etc.) totally belong on the Mesmerist class list anyway, IMO!
I'd like some more mesmerist tricks.
I'd love to see a Mesmerist Archetype that sacrifices some other stuff (less spells, perhaps? No touch treatment?) for a *much* more generous ability to apply Tricks (more tricks / day, ranged application of tricks on allies, reapply a trick as a swift action?, more tricks at once time, etc.).

Seconded!

Maybe such a one could be called 'stage magician' or 'hypnotist'?
Thank you Decius! :)
I could really go for a Mesmerist archetype with a bit more offensive punch to be honest. I find it bizzare that a mental master of manipulation doesn't have access to spells that only the Psychic class seems to have available to it.
So, yeah, an archetype for the Mesmerist that gives it access to Psychic class only spells in exchange for something else would be cool. Or has that been done in a 3rd party book already?
You mean like a mesmerist with eye beams or deadly gaze attacks?
Actually, I was referring to a Mesmerist archetype that has limited access to the Psychic class spell list. In other words, giving up something to gain access to psychic class only spells like Ego Whip, Id Insinuation, Intellect Fortress, Mental Barrier, Mind Thrust, Psychic Crush, Thought Shield, and Tower of Iron Will). Basically something like that.
However, your question intrigues me. Is there a 3rd party archetype for the Mesmerist class that gives eye beam or deadly gaze attacks that do some sort of lethal damage? Maybe causes opponents to suffer bleed damage or energy ray eye beams dealing energy damage of some kind? Or perhaps the deadly eye gaze of death (aka save or die)?
Mesmerists with laser eyes?! Why not just call him Scott Summers and be done with it?! :p ;)
Seriously though not the worst idea for an archetype I've heard.
Well I'd prefer would prefer the first idea (a Mesmerist archetype that has limited access to the Psychic class spell list) as I'm trying to make an NPC that's like a Emma Frost (aka Hellfire White Queenish) Mesmerist who struts around in revealing clothing / feather boa while psi-blasting her enemies when she isn't mentally dominating them. :D
Berselius,
I think we both agreed an Emma Frost type psychic magic character would be kind of neat.
I just dunno about a Scott Summer's one...
It could be mesmerist archetype that gives him some kineticist abilities but he uses his eyes for his kinetic energy blast or something like that.
Honestly I'd settle for just having a Mesmerist archetype that can access some of the spells that are only on the Psychic class's spell list. Here's hoping.

Would love to see this too!
Other items on my want list:
-more psychic archtypes - especially one that focuses on telepathy/communication that grants natural always on telepathy
-Precognition theme powers - immediate action spells

While it isn't a Spiritualist, we do already have a Cavalier archetype with a phantom animal companion: Ghost Rider! Rather like it, myself.

Hoping for some kineticist traits...
Other options could be a feat for Spark of life to create alternate elementals like lightning and ice
As well as a feat or talent to allow crafting feats
You don't need a feat for that as long as you have the proper element(s).
Air for air and lightning.
Earth for earth.
Fire for fire.
Water for ice and water.
Fire + Earth for magma.
Earth + Water for mud.

Depends on the DM, some restrict to just the basic
The ability says that you can create any elemental that matches your element.

"Matches." People can say that Fire and Earth only match Fire and Earth.

I'm aware of Ghost Rider Four. Mostly because I have a Dhamphir Cavalier with Ghost Rider archetype and Order of the Shroud as a follower.

How about some kind of kineticist-style bard? That way you can have Earth, Wind, and Fire! :D
That would be interesting.

The Flame Dancer is already a pretty solid option for 'Fire'.

The content for this book is probably mostly, if not completely, locked down, but... I'd seriously love to see a psychic bard with an origami familiar/"eidolon" and summoning abilities inspired by Kubo and the Two Strings.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Kubo's abilities would make a very interesting bard archetype.

Honestly?
I'd love to see a Kubo bard type in SOME fashion, even if it's not in this book.

If they do do some more feats to improve kinetists viability, or create some interesting variety with kineticist, including some Varient single element kineticists, similar to the blood kineticist, but exploiting different aspects of their powers(like earth kinetics that specialise in Crystal based abilities, or Phytokinetists that Can unleash a variety of toxic pollen and spore effects).

Personally kineticist could use a lot more wild talents. We only got 7 new ones in the last two hardcover books. We don't need anymore archetypes/variants of the class. Also ErisAcolyte-Chaos jester all those abilities could just be standard wild talents.
Feats for kineticist would nice, especially a extra simple blast feat that can be taken at level one(with very little requirements) and you can take any simple blast from any element. Also at level 7 you would get the composite blast(s).
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
No thanks on the Kineticist combat-focused feats. One of the nice things about Kineticist is that it only needs two feats, and something as overpowered as a second basic blast would be a new requirement. Certainly nothing available at first, where it competes with your starter feat tax.

Would love to see this too - it is disappointing that mesmerist have no access to spells like Id insinaution, mentail barrier, etc
I would like to see Psychic reserve feats like the 3.5 feats
More mesmerist tricks

Please please please let there be options that allow for better mixing between arcane and psychic magic. Let wizards have more of a share of the mystical, mysterious and esoteric. I'm tired of the trope where non-arcane spellcasters get all the mystical flavour and wizards are relegated to be compared to scientists and "they use magic in a almost scientific way". I hate that, and I understand some people may like it, but I'm tired of it, we've already had too much, a change would be great.
An archetype that puts wizards in the meat of psychic magic and, for instance, allows them to cast some psychic spells, would be amazing. I'm hoping the release of Doctor Strange will help my case here down the line.
A great (and sadly, one of the very few) examples of introducing esoteric themes to the wizard was the Spirit Whisperer archetype (although it's sad that it does away with the spellbook).
