All roleplaying aside, I have made some great headway building a powerful class that derives directly from the Bending Arts of Avatar: the Last Airbender and Avatar: the Legend of Korra.
I've done my best staying true to form with the show, the actual martial arts each bending style is based on, and splashed in some flavor that I hope makes the crunch worthwhile.
Understand that I build classes and races as a hobby and the Elemental Dancer, which is what I'm calling the class, is by far my most complete creation yet. Currently compiling the information for the final 'Master' level abilities and after that I plan on introducing something called 'Gene Templates', where due to extreme or benign circumstances your bender has for example: Metalbending(the Kuvira kind) or even Lavabending.
Much of the class is heavy crunch so if too many numbers makes your head hurt this class will give you a migraine. The idea for a Bending Class may sound simple enough but to truly flesh out each and every aspect of each style and then tailor it to exist on Golarion is testing my knowledge of two very different worlds.
Each Style will feature as much of what the show displays in one or more abilities while fusing it with some anchor to the very magical world of Golarion. Dancers are supernatural so be prepared for a very 'psionic' feel to the class though much more focused in arsenal.
This post is to determine the Play-by-Post Community's interest in such a class and if I get some good feedback I'll post the class and start a campaign.
Feedback is welcome, and before any of you bring them up, 'Yes' I have reviewed the other variants of 3.5 Bending Classes and I was not pleased, hence this endeavor. Thanks for showing at least enough interest to read this whole thing and to those of you further interested, please let me know.
