A few Sha'ir (Occultist) questions.


Rules Questions


Hey guys, I'm in need of a few clarifications on the Sha'ir archetype:

- When it is written that the Jins are insubstantial, what does it mean? They don't really exist untill you choose to manifest them as Elementals?

- When you use a focus power with them, like Physical Enhancement from the Transmutation School, who is the target? Your Jins or yourself? Because they are supposed to work like items you carry, so I have no idea which interpretation is correct here.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The word 'insubstantial' is just flavor text. It doesn't have any mechanical significance. Your Resonant Powers and Focus Powers work exactly like they do with regular Implements. They are granted to you, not your Jin.

If you decide to make a Sha'it, you might find my Jin statblocks and Elemental School spell list useful. The spell lists include the updates from Planes of Power.


Thank you, now I understand how this archetype works, seems fun. And you've already prepared the profils, nice!


You're welcome. I'm always happy to help someone play an Occultist. :)
