I'd be happy with any class but I would like to see a take on a Talented Summoner- the other existing classes I can imagine what'd you do with them. However I have no idea how you would create the Talented Summoner but I imagine I'd like what you'd make. Let's challenge him people- vote for the Talented Summoner.

So, we have released Cavalier, Fighter, Monk, and Rogue.
We've scheduled Barbarian, Ranger, and Witch
The current votes for Talented #8 are:
Alchemist (2)
Cleric (1)
Gunslinger (3)
Magus (1)
Priests* (2)
Sorcerer (1)
Summoner (2)
*As a place for a spontaneous divine caster and aids the GM to tailor priests/clerics to deity beyond Domains and channel to include the armor proficiency, BAB, hit die, spell lists. This might end up being an option in the Talented Oracle, depending on what direction I take that.

Inquisitor (1)
Magus (4)
Priests* (2)
Sorcerer (1)
Summoner (4)

Obviously this may shift over time as more people vote, but I confess my surprise at seeing alchemist, magus, and summoner in a dead heat. Those are all classes we've released some support for, but those products rarely get much attention. It's an interesting turn of events.

The Genius Guide to the Talented Barbarian is now available, as promised!

I'd like to put in a request for a talented bard. I would like to see a bard that has select-able songs and potentially select-able paths. So, in a grittier setting, the bard as a musician is still viable. But, a spell casting bard may not be appropriate (e.g. Dragon Age bards are non-spell casters and tend towards archery).

Magus
Having just tried one out for the first time recently, I really liked it, but felt very restricted by the class in trying to pull off my concept. For the most part, I loved the Kensai archetype to make my finesse whip-using magus, but didn't want all of the critical hit stuff and a few other things so I had to make some GM-approved adjustments. It was a bit of a pain. Alchemist would have been a close second (or even my first choice) if it wasn't for the fact that Advanced Options: Alchemists' Discoveries already fixed my main problem with that class: not liking the Mutagen.

And NOW the current votes for Talented #8 are:
Alchemist (6)
Bard (1) (Currently being worked on by another writer who I trust, but makes scheduling tricky)
Cleric (2)*
Gunslinger (4)
Inquisitor (2) (With a request to include by Justicar variant)
Magus (8)
Priests** (2)
Sorcerer (1)
Summoner (4)
*With tiebreaker powers if it gets that popular, because keeping your editor happy is important!
**As a place for a spontaneous divine caster and aids the GM to tailor priests/clerics to deity beyond Domains and channel to include the armor proficiency, BAB, hit die, spell lists. This might end up being an option in the Talented Oracle, of maybe even Talented Cleric, depending on what direction I take those.
Magus is now *clearly* in the lead, with alchemist a strong second.
Also someone pointed out that if I did Gunslinger and Paladin after ranger, I could have covered all the classes with a full base attack progression, and could compile those. That's a thought.

Really with the format changes in Talented Monk and that format continuing in Talented Barbarian I'd support any options that allow compilations to be produced, especially if it allows for a print copy to exist. The previous landscape-3 column format makes it difficult to produce a hard copy for the table.

The full casting classes don't need the help. The Talented Class line is thus far mainly about boosting up the classes that are lagging. And Druid is anything but - it's easily one of the best classes in the game, up with Cleric and Wizard.
Sorcerer with its delayed casting and extremely limited class abilities seems to be an exception, and Witch by special request.

Yeah I know I'd just love to see what the Geniuses would do with it. I've absolutely loved everything they've done so far. I'd go so far as to say these would adequately replace the core and base classes in any campaign.

I lean towards divine casters, so cleric or...spontaneous divine!
Please?
I've always felt, since I started playing, that Priests/Clerics SHOULD be spontaneous.
It just makes no sense to me that your deity forces you to chose spells ahead of time, even if they're not what you're going to need.
I also like the idea of archetypes/talents specifically related to your deity, much like the options in the AD&D Priest's handbook. The Genius Guide to Divine Channeling was a good effort in that direction as well.

My vote after ranger and witch is the Cleric and the paladin which could have a hybrid option for sure
I think overlooking the full spellcaster is not true. Plus once you do one full caster the rest of them would be easier to do. That or take the paladin and include an extra short for clerics. Then take the Magus and include an extra short for wizards and sorcerers

Yeah, I'd love to revise those to the RGG standard 2-column, but I can't justify doing it if there's no additional income, and I don't want to charge folks who already bought one just for a new format.
If I *did* revise them to 2-column, is there anyone who would buy a POD version from DriveThruRPG, and if so, what would you pay for it?
