Hmm... looks interesting, definitely has some Artificer in the build. However, a lot of the abilities are already granted by other classes. This isn't really a bad thing, but it does make the class look less unique, in the same kind of way that Ninjas and Rogues are similar. My suggestion: make...

Yeah, back on topic everyone, just wanted to know if a leadership ability for the factotum would make them balanced for pathfinder.

Skill consistency would be nice for the factotum, but since by level 10 they're probably relying on Cunning Knowledge for that +10 skill check bonus, I don't see them as being consistent, more just having really good rolls when they put effort into it. I think that giving the factotum some...

I have a suggestion. I know the customization of the Eidolon is cool and all, but it's also very complicated for beginner players. Why not change it so that it's like the Witch Hexes? One special ability from column A at every level from 1-7, one special ability from column B at every level...

Okay, now I'm going to propose the class features to fill the dead levels (6 and 18) as well as another one to fill the levels where all the class gains is another spell per day (7th, 9th, 12th, 14th, 17th). Cunning Assault: At 6th level a Factotum has learned how to quickly impart his...

Okay, I realize that some of these changes I suggested are a little strong, but I'm aiming at putting the ideas out there and cutting away until there's only a few adjustments left. Concerning Font of Inspiration, this update would nix it. My lv 4 character has it 3 times, and it makes him...

ruemere, that's not a bad idea. They could have some supernatural abilities that let them banish or control outsiders. I just thought of a fix for this class. What if the spells were taken away? Then all he has is his Eidolon and extended summoning abilities. This class and the idea of a...

I'm currently playing a Factotum, and I was wondering if I could get some suggestions on upgrading the class to Pathfinder. My ideas so far are: 1) Inspiration Pool is 2 + 1/2 FActotum level 2) Factotums spontaneously cast any spell they know rather than having prepared casting. 3) Factotums...

I've run a shark in my campaign once, and it bit and held (grapple/constrict). On the other hand the PC in question was small sized, against medium sized PCs it would have tried to do the same, but at a -4 size penalty.

I played a 5th level Summoner this afternoon for a few hours, and it was perfectly balanced. The Eidolon, however, was not. Spell list and spells per day? Worked great. Extended summoning abilities? Not a problem. The Eidolon was the imbalance, wiping out way more than its share of enemies. A...

I understand that having a Cohort, Thrall, of summoned creature gives a character more actions, but I don't think it slows down combat too much for other characters. If you know your cohort/summon's stats well, you can run their actions pretty quickly. I played a thrallherd for a long time and...

On first glance the Summoner looks a tad complicated, definitely not the kind of class for first time players. The witch looks a lot easier, and it's interesting to see a healing ability for an arcane caster. Both classes look like they'd play well, but the summoner doesn't look like it'd mesh...

Faceless looks good, though they could do with some more abilities. I suggest low-light vision, +2 to Perception and Bluff, and the ability to mimic the voices of others. Ironwrought looks fine as-is, the lower stat increases is compensated by their various bonuses. Overall solid work Transbot9.

Have you thought about running a Binder? Your group has the tank, stealth, mage, healer, and leader filled, Binders specialize in filling any role on any given day, if anyone is missing from your group, you can fill ing, and explore playing a different role each day. Otherwise, think about...

With the negative energy aspect this feels a lot like Necromancy. Also, how would this affect other types of elementals like Taint and Shadow?

Madness Feats The feat chain looks balanced, though a few things look a little unbalanced. Insane Confidence should still cause the Will save penalty to apply. Lunatic Sagacity would be more balanced if it only caused the character to be fatigued. Unpredictable could be easily broken. I...

I agree with Ashagon, helmets are usually part armor, not having them reduces armor. For wearing a helmet with armor that usually doesn't have a helmet, I'd personally go with a very simple +1 bonus to AC, but a -4 penalty to Spot and Listen.

OK, I'll respond to the questions in order. Milo, 1. The cost for channeling is 1 point of Focus per spell level. Cantrips cost nothing, and can be cast as many times as the Adept wants to. 2. Adepts only recover Focus when they do NOT cast a spell that round, they can't spend actions to...

Just an idea I thought up a while ago, finally put on paper this week. Sorry about the formatting. The class's focus is on balancing combat and spellcasting while focusing on a singe school of arcane magic. Comments, additions, any are welcome. I know I'm missing a few Adept “Casting that...

How is complete control? I've boon looking to buy it for the last few days, and I'm wondering if it's worth it.
