[QUOTE="Ezel, post: 6633944, member: 6795910"] As I say in the fluff, the runes themselves can be completely refluffed: In that sense using the word "runeseeker" for the class name might be misleading. It's like some sort of glyph master. The first one sounds like 3e binder or warlock, the second one like psion. It's not impossible to refluff this way, but some features are heavily linked to the weapon and to the whole concept of the runeseeker "engraving" his runes, especially the archetypes. More than working by binding spirits or your mind's potential I can see the runeseeker easily refluffed as an "artisan version of a bard" getting magic out of the perfect mastery of his art, making stuff so good that magic comes out of it. This would still require intelligence since it's all about technique, not performance. That's not too far from the current runeseeker's soulsmith archetype. In this case instead of having runes on the weapon you can have just very beautiful engravings that give you inspiration to cast your magic. Do you think this type of "artisan/artist" fluff might be better to fill in any campaign? I wonder how I could call the whole class at that point. Master Artisan? Mastersmith? Spellsmith? Thanks!
