Inspired by smilodan's awesome thread, I want to make classes for people too! All ideas welcome.
How about some classes based off the mistborn allomamcers. At least the ones that would be useful, it's been awhile but the strength one, the ones that push and pull metals, the ones that push and pull emotions.
I'll need to wiki that...

I'd like to see a 4 level arcane caster with full BAB, like an arcane paladin kind of.

Also, someone mentioned a full-bab class based on sorcerer bloodlines, with no spells. I think a class like that, with supernatural and possibly spell-like abilities, would be really cool too. But pretty hard to design, especially since the iconic abilities of aberrations, demons, dragons, and fey are so different from each other.
I found the descriptions of burning different metals, but if I created an allomancer class, it would be based off of that, not the novels.
EDIT: Darn that 'M' key...

Dispel Strike(Su): A number of times per day equal to 1/2 her class level + her int mod, the mage hunter can declare a dispel strike and make an attack as a standard action. If this attack hits, the target is struck by a target dispel magic, using the mage hunters class level as the caster level.
Arcane Bond: As the wizard class feature, but you must select a weapon or shield.
Arcane Aegis(Su): The mage hunter learns a number of useful defenses and offenses against magic called arcane aegis'. Unless otherwise noted, an arcane aegis cannot be selected more than once. All arcane aegis' are supernatural abilities.

Spell Shield: Once per day, the Mage Hunter can spend a use of her dispel strike as an immediate action to counter a spell. This aegis may be chosen more than once, each tie after the first grants an additional use per day.
Mirror Shield: Whenever the Mage Hunter successfully counters a spell with the spell shield aegis, that spell is turned, as per the spell spell turning, subject to the normal restrictions.
Dampening Aura: The Mage Hunter can spend 1 use of her dispel strike as a standard action to create a 30 ft radius magic disrupting aura. Whenever anyone attempts to cast a spell within the aura, the must make a concentration check (DC=Mage Hunter's level+spell level) or lose the spell.

Mana Leech: When the Mage Hunter uses a dispel strike, instead of dispelling she can drain a prepared spell or unused spell slot from the target. The Mage Hunter then regains one spent spell slot of up to one level lower than the stolen spell (minium of 1st).

At 4th level, the Mage Hunter gains the ability to cast a small number of arcane spells. She casts these spells just like a sorcerer. Her caster level is equal to her class level -3.

I found the descriptions of burning different metals, but if I created an allomancer class, it would be based off of that, not the novels.
EDIT: Darn that 'M' key...That's how they work in the novels, like they burn iron to pull on metal and steel to push on metal. As they gain better control over the metal they can use they can do better stuff like who can push on metal can essentially fly by dropping copper coins and pushing off them or someone who burns pewter can run for days on end, or can strengthen their muscles to land devastating blows just as they land a blow.
Here is a pretty good wiki.
That's the one I read, thanks though. I'll work on one, but it might not be up to expectations.

I'd like to see a 4 level arcane caster with full BAB, like an arcane paladin kind of.How about some classes based off the mistborn allomamcers. At least the ones that would be useful, it's been awhile but the strength one, the ones that push and pull metals, the ones that push and pull emotions.I'll need to wiki that...+1
Also, someone mentioned a full-bab class based on sorcerer bloodlines, with no spells. I think a class like that, with supernatural and possibly spell-like abilities, would be really cool too. But pretty hard to design, especially since the iconic abilities of aberrations, demons, dragons, and fey are so different from each other.
If you like to see a 4 level arcane caster with full BAB, like an arcane paladin, check out the Battle Scion in the current issue of Wayfinder magazine :)

Why not begin with a Summoner archetype conversion of the 3.5 Binder class ?
You seemed pretty interested about this on the "Host" alchemist archetype thread. From what I understood, the class made it as if you were able to summon each day a new, adapted creature to your current needs, providing great adaptability.

AWESOME.
Note: The terms Eidalon and Vestige are used mostly interchangeably through out this archtype. Eidalon typically refers to the entity as a whole, while vestige is the power that imbues you.
Summoner Variant: The Binder
Vestige Eidalon: Unlike normal Summoners who call their eidalons to this plane, or Synthesists who fuse with their eidalon, you channel the power of your eidalon through you by binding a vestige of it's power and mind. Because of this, you apply your eidalons evolutions directly to yourself (see Aspect, below).
Aspect(Su): After resting for 8 hours (typically right before or after you meditate to regain spells) you can perform a 5 minute ritual to bring a vestige of your eidalon into your self. At this time you spend your evolution points (as shown on the eidalons table) on evolutions that you meet the prerequisites for (the typical PC is considered a medium biped). You may not purchase the large or huge evolutions, nor may you change your size to small (like you can with an eidalon). It should be noted that you do not get the free evolutions that a base form grants. You do not gain any other benefits an eidalon gains, such as attribute increases, Armor/natural armor, etc. Unlike with a normal eidalon these evolutions do not go away when you are unconscious, and they cannot be dismissed or banished, but they disappear after 24 hours. You cannot perform this ritual if you already have a a vestige bound.The powers are temporarily suspended while in an area of antimagic or similar effect.
Your visual appearance will undergo minimal changes to allow for the evolutions.
This replaces the Eidalon and life link class features.
Bonded Senses(Su): At 2nd level, while you have your vestige bound, you gains darkvision 60 ft. This replaces the normal bonded senses.
Bonded Augmentation(Su): Starting at 4th level, you can petition your eidalon to grant you a boon. When you form a pact with your vestige, you may choose one of the following benefits.
+1 insight bonus on attack rolls, +5 HP, +1 insight bonus to AC, +1 insight bonus on saving throws, or a +2 insight bonus to initiative.
For every four levels beyond 4th (8, 12, etc) you may choose an additional benefit, including the same one multiple times.
This replaces shield ally, transportation, Greater shield ally, merge forms, and twin eidalon.
Soul Guardian (Su): As you gain strength, your eidalon goes to greater lengths to protect you. Starting at 6th level you gain immunity to fear while you have your vestige bound. At 10th level, you gain slippery mind, as the rogue class feature, while you have your vestige bound. At 14th level, you gain immunity to energy drain and negative levels, while you have your vestige bound. Finally, at 18th level, you are immune to mind affecting spells and abilities, again while you have your vestige bound.
This replaces maker's call, aspect, life bond, and greater aspect.
Spellcasting: Remove the fallowing spells from your class list: Rejuvenate Eidalon (all versions), Unfetter, Evolution Surge (all versions), Summon Eidalon, and Purified Calling. Add cure light wounds, cure moderate wounds, cure serious wounds, and cure critical wounds to your class list at the appropriate levels.

Varied Lore: The researcher spends her time studying items, tomes of forgotten lore, races, and virtually everything else there is to study. At each level, the Researcher chooses one ability from the following list to represent her most recent field of study. Spell like abilities use the researcher's primary intelligence for calculating saves and the like; and class level is the effective caster level. For an ability that requires a save that are not spell like, use 10 +1/2 the researcher's level+the researcher's int mod.
Note: The researcher does not get the ability to add her int mod to the damage, as that is a feature of the alchemist's throw anything ability.
Requirements: Researcher 3+, craft (alchemy) 3 ranks.
Arcane Lore(Sp): The researcher has spent extensive time studying arcane writings and scrolls and has grasped the basic concept of arcane magic. The researcher can choose 1 sorcerer/wizard spell (whose level must be no more than 1/2 her class level (minimum of 0) which becomes a spell like ability. To use this spell like ability, the researcher must spend the necessary time and components to cast the spell and make a Knowledge (arcana) check (DC 10 +her researcher level+the level of the spell). Success means the spell goes off as normal. Failure means that the spell did not go off, the components (if any) are wasted, and she cannot try to use that spell like ability again for the rest of the day. The researcher can take this ability multiple times, but must choose a different spell each time. A natural 1 is always considered a failure.
Requirements: Knowledge (Arcana) 1 rank, sufficient intelligence to cast the spell (see page 17, core rule book).
Divine Lore(Sp): The researcher has spent extensive time studying holy scriptures and scrolls and has grasped the basic concept of divine magic. The researcher can choose 1 cleric spell (whose level must be no more than 1/2 her class level (minimum of 0)) which becomes a spell like ability. To use this spell like ability, the researcher must spend the necessary time and components to cast the spell and make a Knowledge (Religion) check (DC 10 +her researcher level+ 5 X the level of the spell). Success means the spell goes off as normal. Failure means that the spell did not go off, the components (if any) are wasted, and she cannot try to use that spell like ability again for the rest of the day. The researcher can take this ability multiple times, but must choose a different spell each time. A natural 1 is always considered a failure.
Note: Clerics are not fond of researchers "stealing" divine power like this.
Requirements: Knowledge (Religion) 1 rank, sufficient intelligence to cast the spell (see page 17, core rule book).
Trapfinding(Ex): As per the rogue class feature of the same name.
Requirements: Disable Device 1 rank.
Monster Lore(Ex): The researcher has studied a particular type of creature's habitats, physical qualities, social patterns, etc. Choose one option from the rangers favored enemy list. When the researcher encounters a creature of that type, she can spend a swift action to make an appropriate knowledge check (DC 15 + target creatures HD) to gain favored enemy bonuses (as a ranger of her level -2) against that type of creature for the duration of the encounter. If she fails, she cannot try again with that type of creature for the reast of the day. The researcher can take this ability multiple times, but must choose a different favored enemy type each time. A natural 1 is always considered a failure.
Example: If the researcher has Monster lore (evil outsiders) and has encountered a band of 3 hell hounds and an imp, she can spend a swift action to make a knowledge (planes) check to gain favored enemy bonuses vs. the hell hounds or the imp. Of course she could attempt the other on the following round.
Note: The DM determines the duration of an encounter. "type of creature" refers to a specific creature (like hell hounds) of a given type (evil outsider).
Requirements: Knowledge (appropriate one for monster type) 3 ranks
Hex Lore(Su): The researcher has studied witch craft and the blessings and curses that originate from them. The researcher chooses one hex that she can attempt to use. To use this hex, the researcher must succeed on a knowledge (arcana) check (DC 10 + her class level). If successful, the hex goes off as normal. If she fails, the hex does not go off at all and she cannot attempt to use that hex for the rest of the day. Her effective witch level for the hexes is equal to her class level -2. The researcher can take this ability multiple times, but must choose a different hex each time. A natural 1 is always considered a failure.
Requirements: Knowledge (arcana) 3 ranks.
Inspiring Lore(Su): The Researcher has studied the song and poems of many a famous bard and has gained more than a little inspiration from them. The researcher can inspire competence (as a bard of her researcher level, -2) with a successful perform (oratory) check. The DC is 15+ her class level, and she maintains the performance must make the check with a cumulative +1 DC. IF she fails a check, the performance ends (or never starts) and she cannot attempt to inspire competence for the rest of the day.
Requirements: Perform (oratory) 3 ranks
Talented Lore (Ex): The researcher has studied the methods of dozens of slight of hand artists, trappers, con artists, and experts and has deduced the basics of some of their trades. Choose one extraodinary rogue talent that the researcher meets the requirements for (using your researcher level as your rogue level, if necessary). The researcher can attempt to use that rogue talent with a successful knowledge (local) check (DC 15 + her class level). If the researcher fails the check, she cannot attempt to use that talent for the rest of the day. The researcher can take this ability multiple times, but must choose a different rogue talent each time. A natural 1 is always a failure.
Requirements: Knowledge (Local) 1 ranks.
Striking Lore(Ex): The researcher has studied a variety of fighting styles and weapon techniques and has learned ways to attack more often than she should be able to. With a successful Acrobatics check (DC 15 + her class level) she can use her class level to determine her number of attacks per round instead of her base attack bonus. Using this ability is part of a full attack action. If she fails, she can only make 1 attack that round. She can only use this when she is wielding a weapon (or weapons) that she is proficient with. A natural 1 is always a failure.
Example: A 5th level researcher has a BAB of +3 if she were to successfully use this ability, she could make 2 attacks, at +3/-2 (before other modifiers).
Requirements: Acrobatics 5 ranks.
Weapon Lore(Ex): The researcher has spent time studying various weapon, including practical usage. The researcher can make a knowledge (History) check (DC 15 for a martial weapon, 25 for an exotic weapon (not including guns), or 35 guns or similarly unusual or rare weapons (GM's decision)) to be treated as proficient with a give weapon for an encounter. If she fails, she does not gain proficiency with the weapon and cannot try again with that weapon for the rest of the day.
Requirements: Knowledge (history) 1 rank.
Expanded Research: At 2nd level, and every 4 levels there after, choose 1 cross class skill, it is now considered a class skill for you.
Sudden Inspiration: Once per day at 8th level, you can choose 1 Varied Lore that you do not possess (or an option of a varied lore you do not possess) that you meet the prerequisites for and attempt to use it. You can use this ability twice per day at 16th level.
These go with the mage hunter farther up. Sorry about this.
True Aegis
At 20th level you may choose from the list below when selecting an aegis.
Spell Resistance: You gain SR 35, you can raise or lower this spell resistance as a free action.
Anti Magic Strike: When declaring a dispel strike, the Mage Hunter can spend 3 uses of dispel strike to create a skin tight area of antimagic (as the spell antimagic field) around the target instead of dispel magic. No magic cast on the target will function, nor will the target's magic items. The target cannot use spells, spell like abilities, or supernatural abilities for the duration of the effect.

Alternate Form (Su): You can turn you entire body into a weapon of your type. In this form, you are considered an intelligent magic weapon. You can resize yourself to small, medium, or large as a move action. In this form you cannot move on your own (unless you have an intelligent item power that grants you a movement speed). You possess empathy, speech, and senses (120 ft); see page 533 core rule book. You possess your own mental ability scores, but no physical ability scores (do not adjust statistics). You retain your own HP, Saves, Feats, Class features, and skills (though some may not be usable due to your form) and a hardness equal to your HD. If you can cast spells, you cannot do must use still spell and eschew materials to do so while in this form. You cannot be enchanted by an outside force, but see Awakened below. This is considered a polymorph effect.

You can trade out these bonuses when you gain a level for special weapon properties (Flaming, Keen, Etc). You may not possess a bonus greater than +5, as normal. These bonuses carry over into your Alternate Form. If you possess more than one of your natural weapons (from the dual wielding feat), only one of them is enchanted.
Lesser Power: At 5th level, you can grant your natural weapon (granted by your race, not other natural weapons) a power from the intelligent item powers list (page 534, core rule book). This power must have a base price modifier of 5,000 gp or less. This power carries over to your alternate form. You cannot choose "item has 5 skill ranks".
Greater Power: This functions as Lesser Power, but you may choose one ability of up to 10,000 GP. You cannot choose "item has 5 skill ranks", "item has 10 skill ranks", or "item can change shape into one other form of the same size".

Umm, why Knowledge(religion)? Craft(Weapons) would seem a better requirement.
Seems kinda weak. Maybe add +1 caster level at 3rd, 6th, and 9th. Every other level would be too much with the HD, good saves, and BAB. Perhaps 4th lvl for Lesser Power, 7th lvl for a 12k gp or less Power, and Greater Power at 10th lvl.

When I created these races, the storyline behind them was that they were mundane (or magical) items granted human form and sentience by a god of artifice or forge to fulfill some unknown purpose that they are drawn too. Hence, knowledge (religion). Getting a free +10 weapon that cannot be lost or sundered is pretty good, along with full BAB, and all good saves. I will consider what your suggestions though.
