Advice

I have a player in my group who wants to play an Ascetic Acrobat from the Multiclass Archetype project. This looks like an interesting Archetype, but I'm concerned that it's overpowered. Consequently, I am looking for advice from those who may have seen this archetype in play. How did it work out? Is it OP or not? Should I be concerned?

Another issue is that this player wants to play a Drow with custom racial features swapped out for the standard Drow features as set out in the Advanced Race Guide, albeit within the 14 RP budget in the ARG.

I'm concerned that so much monkeying around with the classes and races will lead to unintended consequences, most notably, this character overshadowing other players.

Any advice?


It's hard to tell with this one, as the balance is very...erratic. It does get the best rogue archetype's abilities, and lets them not focus so much on Dex as they get free TWF through flurry of blows. I think it comes out ahead of the ninja, but that's after a lot of swerves.

I wouldn't allow a custom drow.

Thanks, Cheapy!
