Sub-Epic Offerings

[Beefermatic]

Added simple spellcasting like that of the paladin (also using his base spell list) with some spell list changes for the archetype as well

I mean, I don't know if Pali fits exactly, just as it's so holy focused and this definitely seems like an evil character could take it, maybe make it based on alignment, with evil Undying getting the Antipaladin spell list and neutral ones getting the Ranger spell list.

Either way I think this certainly makes it more viable.

I use the pali spell list as the base for the number of slots per day but for the spell list I created for it pick only the spells that protect itself or others with some offensives from the pali/inquisitor/ranger spell list and always without selecting any spell with alignment descriptor.

Nice, I like it.

Quick question, why is it called the Autumn Soldier?

Is a quote of Ungaretti's poem, Soldati (Soldati/Soldiers by Giuseppe Ungaretti). He fights in the tranches of First World War and in this poem he practically compares the life of soldiers in war to leaves in autumn, ready to fall away at the first gust of wind.

Wow, that's actually pretty beautiful man. Beautiful and a little sad.

Well designated for the class. I really like that!

Today I'm posting some optional rules for the firearms I use in my campaign. They are not of my own creation and their original version can be found in this manual. (Arcforge: Psibertech - Legendary Games | Alien & Space | DriveThruRPG.com)

ARMOR PENETRATION​

AP stands for “Armor Penetration” and marks a weapon’s ability to penetrate or bypass conventional armor and defenses. Each point of AP bypasses that total value from a target’s armor, natural armor, and/or shield bonuses to armor class. AP is calculated against the target’s total armor class, not individually against each component. A weapon’s AP automatically increases when it is enhanced through magical or technological means by an amount equal to its total enhancement bonus. For example, a pistol has AP 3, meaning it bypasses the first 3 points of a target’s armor class from armor, natural armor, or shields, and a +1 pistol has AP 4. If a nonmagical pistol is used against a target with an armor class of 19 (10 base + 5 armor + 2 natural armor + 2 shield) the wielder would only need to roll a 16 or better to successfully strike the target. Ranged weapons only benefit from AP against targets within their first range increment. Firearms can use the AP system and do not target touch AC but they no not incur a misfire chance if using this system.
AP and Existing Weapons- You may find that it makes a lot of sense to apply the AP system to some existing weapons, such as early firearms or crossbows. For your convenience, we’ve added a table below featuring a selection of commonly used weapons and firearms with suggested AP ratings. Firearms using the AP system should not target touch AC or incur a misfire chance.

I like it, it might be hard to implement, but seems cool on the surface. Not sure how it'd play out.

We have started using it and we love it madly.
