Need help understanding the Medium (Spirit Dancer Archetype)


Advice


So I have a character who died and the player does not whish to have his character resurrected. He is instead making a Medium (Spirit Dancer). I am trying to wrap my head around the class.

He replaces spirit with spirit dance.
This is where I get lost. So at the start of each day he has to select a specific power to give himself from each of the legendary spirits?

After he does that, and he starts spirit dancing can he start with one legendary spirit, switch to another and then go back to the original spirit?

1 person marked this as a favorite.

The character makes selections for each power he could get from each of the spirits. They would select which sorcerer/wizard spells the archmage spirit will grant, which spells and type of channeling the hierophant will grant, which skills the trickster will grant, and which exotic weapon proficiency the champion will grant.

And yes, they can then switch between these spirits during the day.

The benefit of spirit dancer is increased flexibility as to which spirits you channel for any particular encounter or challenge.

The downsides are you can only access spirits for a limited duration, and can't channel weaker spirits to reduce influence.


So when he selects a spirit and starts dancing does he get everything that spirit offers?

Yes, for that one spirit. At level 17, he can swap between spirits at will, but until then he chooses one per dance, and must wait a minute between.


He prepares each spirit at the start of each day.

Think of each spirit as a different dance and think of the dance as barbarian raging.

IMHO: Base medium has more strategic value, but the spirit dancer has more tactical oomph.
