Like Words of Power. Just give us the system and let us swap it for other spellcasting classes.Bloodrager - Some interesting stuff in this class but feels like standard multiclassing could have handled it with the addition of an option letting barbarians cast spells while raging.Brawler - I see the need for a non-magical monk but wonder if that could have been an archetypeHunter - Lame. This is a ranger alternate class, if not an archetype.Investigator - Not sure this class couldn't be replicated by standard multiclassing. I like it, but that's personal affection for the trope and less a reflection of the class.Shaman - I like the idea of a class heavily tied to the spirit world with a spirit familiar. But the oracle and witch flavour and mechanics seem to get in the way. This might work better when not being forced into the "hybrid" box.Skald - Problematic. It induces rage but then can't cast spells or do much else in combat. Benefits of this class depend on the group.Slayer - Dislike. Damage dealer is a character build not a class concept. And high DPR builds can already end encounters quickly, we don't need to up the bar.Swashbuckler - I can see this being needed. Might need some work but there's some good stuff.War Priest - With paladins being limited to LG this class does serve a purpose. It works I guess.All in all the classes really look like they're being made just to make new classes. They came up with the idea of the book and the idea of hybrid classes and these are just the least bad classes. Most don't exist because there was a huge gap and the table but instead because there was a huge gap in the book.</blockquote>
