My first release - The Wrathful : Rage, Stealth and Darkness

[mekka2000]

Hello, here's my first release. Hope some will like it. :)
It's a hybrid class, Rogue+Barbarian with a darkness flavour.
I have sold enough to pay for the art, and take all the benefits to buy more art for a small bestiary I'm working on, with an ecology based off the Kaorti from D&D (it's not open content so, my creature is different enough but fit in the same niche and flavour) invading the world from "living hives", sort of living dungeons moving through planes to the center of the world and crawling to the surface.

But for now, here's the class :

"For some, there is only rage, but for some others, drowned in darkness, this rage is contained and explode in silence.
Drawing powers from the Shadow Plane itself, sometimes even without knowing it, these ferocious warriors have an affinity with the dark and cannot unleash their power in bright light, outside the security and familiarity of the shadows.
But once all the lights are off, all the fires extinguished, they can quietly devastate their adversary, jumping from shadow to shadow.

- A new class, the Wrathful, a hybrid class whose parents are the rogue and the barbarian.
- Favored classes bonus for all races (including psionic races !).
- Three archetypes, including an archetype with Path of War abilities.
- The iconic Wrathful, Sahza, a young female fetchling born on the material plane.
- Alternate rules for use with the Variant Multiclassing rule from Pathfinder Unchained, E6/P6 feats, and the all new Variant Gestalt P8 (described here with all core classes !)."

Get it here !

Since this is your first, let me ask a few questions here:

First of all, I appreciate FCB and a sample character, including VMC rules is actually pretty interesting, although E6/E8 is a bit odd for a class book. I actually think I remember seeing some ideas like this in the homebrew section, I'm assuming that was you.

So onto the questions; what would you say was your favorite thing to write about this class? What separates this class most from its parent classes? Just some basic questions to start off discussion here, help identify your product some more to people who might be interested in buying it.

Spoiler:

Totally thought the cover character was a troll from homestuck.

I just googled "troll homestuck" :)

I think this class is interesting because a wrathful really need to move and plan a combat. She's tougher in dim light or darkness and can create it with a spell-like ability or mundane means (destroy lantern, and so on...). She can also teleport from shadow to shadow.
So you have a character hiding in shadows, teleporting around you to surprise you and sneak attack you while raging.

She can also hide in plain sight, and because of it and the shadow teleporting thing, she never gains improved uncanny dodge, even if she has uncanny dodge. She need to move.

The Claustrophobic rager is a crazy archetype, made for fun, it has the same sort for strong points and weakness as the Wrathful, but instead of bright light and darkness, she plays on "inside" and "outside". She can destroy walls with a urge to go outside and can break your dungeon at 20th level :p

And yes it was discussed in homebrew section here, and many people helped me. I didn't want to release it this way at first, but as I paid for the art and more art I already bought for more projects, this can help me release more things. All the money will go to more art for more things :)
