First Post
Okay, so yesterday I was thinking...what if there was a class designed to deal damage. JUST DEAL DAMAGE. nothing else. Simply a perfect killing machine and nothing else. I don't have a name for it yet, but here's it's info.

HD: D8
BAB: Good
Class Skills: Climb, Craft, Intimidate, Jump, Profession, search, spot, Survival
Skill Points per level: 2+INT modifier
Starting Gold: 2D4x10
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The [name] is proficient with light armor and simple weapons, but not with shields.

Element of Destruction: At 1st level, the [name] must pick an element that he channels into his rays of destruction and other abilities. The choices are: Fire, Water, Air, and Earth, Metal, and Vibration. An earth [name] deals acid damage with his abilities, an air [name] deals lightning damage, a fire [name] deals fire damage, a water [name] deals cold damage, a Metal [name] deals slashing and piercing damage, and a Vibration [name] deals sonic damage.

Ray of Destruction: At 1st level, the [name] gains a ray with a range of 50 feet. [no range increment] It is a ranged touch attack that deals 1D6 points of damage per class level, the type of damage is indicated by there element.
The Ray of Destruction is a standard action which provokes an attack of opportunity, and is identical to a ranged attack, including number of attacks per round. The ray of destruction is not affected by SR, but it is affected by DR. They critical on a 20, dealing double damage. Ray of Destruction cannot be used in conjuction with meduim or heavier armor.

Fists of Destruction: Also at 1st level, the [name] gains a melee touch attack that deals the same amount of damage as his Ray of Destruction. Using it is a standard action that is the same as a melee attack, including number of attacks per round. SR does not apply, but DR does. They critical on a 20 for double damage. Fists of Destruction does not work if the [name] is using meduim or heavier armor.

Armor of Destruction: At 6th level, anyone who strikes the [name] with a melee weapon or natural weapon must make a fortitude save [DC 10+Class Level+Charisma modifier] or take 1D6 points of damage, of the type indicated by his element. This damage increases by one die every 3 levels. [2D6 at 9th level, 3D6 at 12th level...]

Improved Elements of Destruction: At 9th level, the [name] gains Resistance to his element 20. Metal Element [name]s gain DR 4/-. In addition, his Rays of Destruction and Fists of Destruction now critical on a 19-20. In addition, they ignore hardness when used against objects now.

Greater Elements of Destruction: At 13th level, the [name] gains Immunity to his element, and the a Metal [name] now has DR 8/-. In addition, his Rays of Destruction and Fists of Destruction now critical for three times the damage, and bypass damage reduction.

Destroyer Apothesis: At 20th level the [name] becomes a pure engine of destruction. His type changes to Unknown, a new type that gives these advantages:
DR equal to 1/2 hit dice/epic.
Resistance to all elements equal to hit dice
All future HD have maximum Hit Points per die.
All future HD are D12s.

Let's see. I'm going to tell you the exact same thing as I did in your other thread:

Ray of Destruction: Broken... a 20th-level character could shoot 4 rays at +20/+15/+10/+5, each dealing 20d6 points of damage, and each one can threaten a critical hit. Either change to 1d6 per 4 HD (5d6 at 20th level) or 10d6 once per round.

Fists of Destruction: same as above. A monk will tank everything with this.

Armor of Destruction: change it to 1d6 per 3 HD.

Greater Elements of Destruction: change to resistance to energy, and DR equal to class level.

You should turn this class into a prestige class for warlocks. At first level, they get to choose a element. Make it so that PrC level stack with warlock levels, and give it an additional 1d6 at first level, so at 20th-level, an eldritch blast will deal 10d6 points of damage, instead of 9d6.
 

No they way that this is set up is simply to overpowerful. I would say perhaps keep the 1d6 per lvl but drop the BAB from good to poor (So wizard BAB)
 

I had some comments but instead I only have one: I agree with JiCi's comments...Especially about converting this to a prestige class for Warlocks.

That or just play a Warlock.

And just create an invocation that substitute the eldritch blast's profane damage into acid, cold, electricity, fire or sonic damage.

Been a while since I checked Complete Arcane, it might already be done.
