Runesmith Runic Optimization and Automatic Bonus Progression


Advice


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Just a quick FYI - I don't think there is anything errata-worthy here. But people are going to need to be aware of this if they happen to use ABP and Runesmith.

Runesmith has a rather unique take on the standard Weapon Specialization class feature. Instead of being based on weapon proficiency, it is keyed on the weapon having a Striking rune.

If you are using variant rules that remove Striking Runes (Automatic Bonus Progression being the most common), then you are going to need to houserule the variant rule so that things work correctly.

A Runesmith shouldn't be without their equivalent of the typical Weapon Specialization damage that martial classes are expected to have.

This isn't errata-worthy because it is hardly the first time that ABP has to be houseruled in order to make a class function properly. Alchemist players have been complaining about ABP stripping item bonuses out of mutagens and elixirs for years.
