[QUOTE="transcendantviewer, post: 6735295, member: 6762655"] That looks better, but I strongly disagree with the archetypes. I'll start with the Spellbreaker archetype: Awarding the entirety of a feat as a class feature is way too strong. Only some abilities warrant that level of strength and they're the archetype's entire build. The Dispelling Strike ability is way too powerful. Perhaps as a once/long rest ability, it's fine, but that's just way too much. I'd say give the following: "Starting at 7th level, you gain greater understanding of the manipulation of magic, learning to undo spells easier. As an action, you may expend a second level spell slot and make an Arcana check against the caster's Spell Save DC. Success allows you to dispel the magic affecting the target, as though with the [I]Dispel Magic[/I] spell. After using this ability, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest." The level 11 ability is too strong for a level 11 ability. Make that the level 15 ability. And no spell reflection. That's way too strong. I'll look at the other archetypes after this one is fixed.
