<p>though if they're alterning save types and such. I think I'd probably include To Hit ones. maybe poison would be decent for that choice. but regardless of that.</p>
<p>I do think it would be cooler if you could choose from more elements. and isntead of debuffs being tied to elements let you chose from a short list.</p>I would absolutely love having a poison attack. I love poison style things.

More choices in damage types with different debuffs for each and targeting different saves. And the debuffs should target the appropriate saves, so like, something that would impose enfeebled 1 should target will or reflex and not fortitude.Alchemic_Genius wrote:Is there a reason Fling Magic is restricted to only 3 choices and a reflex save, even though the class is technically dabbling in all four traditions?
