A New Core Class

[Walt Ciechanowski]

Hi,

This is my first post (and my first time checking out this forum), so if this has been asked elsewhere I apologize.

While I realize that Pathfinder is a replacement for 3.5 and thus uses the same core classes, I think another core class should be considered.

Over the years, I've seen many attempts to do an "arcane warrior" type class. WOTCs "complete" series includes at least a couple examples (Duskblade and Hexblade), and various third party publishers have their own versions. It's a class idea that has wide appeal.

I think Pathfinder would benefit by including such a class in the main rulebook.

But that's just my two coppers...

Walt-

Jason Bulmahn has said they're only going with the base 11 classes in the PFRPG; undoubtedly, though, future supplements will include more. Particularly because there are two "divine" fighters (paladin and rangers), an "arcane" fighter seems an obvious niche to fill.

I heard they would make a new class but I think recently an editor (Mona maybe?) mentioned it would just be a fighter/spellcaster multi-class. But who knows, things may change...

Persoinally, I'd like to see the Sorcerer turned into a gish class, up its BAB (and thus HD), allow light armor casting and give it one martial weapon.
