[QUOTE="Varianor Abroad, post: 3170453, member: 12425"] My experiences are entirely as a DM. The one time I played, I played a faen akashic. (Caveat. I'm in an AE game playing an Iron Heroes character. Long story. Good one.) As a DM, I get a different perspective. All of the AE classes are highly viable. They fit well with a given player when the player's desires match the class abilities. They get more flavorful abilities than their D&D counterparts, and the abilities continue to build over time (as Robert Ranting and others observed). Some observations on the PCs you mention HTW (Hawk Totem Warrior) eventually get to change shape into hawk form themselves. This is very cool. PCs tend to forget their totem animal however. Mageblades with sibeccai template rock. To the point where that template should be nerfed a little. Mageblades who buff with their spells work best. Don't try to be the magister lobbing big area effects. If you like Champion of Knowledge and pounce, well, there's the litorian. :) Greenbonds are like clerics with magic powers who don't have to worry all the time about their healing. They are very spiritual, and a lot of fun. (Buy [I]Akashic Nodes [/I] for additional greenbond buff and attack spells. ;) ) Verriks make very decent greenbonds, but actually a litorian or human greenbond can be very effective. Almost everyone who's a caster takes Complex Spell feat (level 3 spells) except for the magister. A dracha akashic sounds pretty damn interesting. I expect he'd be steepd in dragon lore. It combines decently with other classes, particularly warmain. Good luck with the character and the game. Sounds like fun. [/QUOTE]
