Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Stew" data-source="post: 9535714" data-attributes="member: 23484">A lot of really interesting things here. A few initial observations:1. This is going to be a very popular 1- and 2-level dip. 1 level will give med armor and shields and a skill -- super for Rogues.2. The flavour text feels a little off to me -- items "vanish" (rather than stop working) or are repaired when you "touch" them. It's clearly a magic class.3. replacing cantrips and spells after a long rest means that things stay VERY flexible -- i would have thought 1/level would be better.4. Cantrip list is very strong: Guidance, Attack cantrips, and True Strike. Again; this makes the class a dip-draw.5. For the Armoror: clearly playing into the MCU Iron Man presentation, which is fine; when the armor is used as an arcane focus, does it need a free hand?6. For the Armoror: Dreadnaught Flail is fun. I am pleased that these weapons do not have associated Mastery properties; that would be too much.7. For the Armoror:<s> I'm not sure what is gained by having the Lightning Launcher a Thrown weapon -- is it just that you can use Str or Dex or Int for the attack?</s> EDIT: as described downthread, all ranfged weapons are either ammunition or thrown; this is likely a legacy, and it has no effect.8. For the Battle Smith: the Arcane Empowerment is now of much less impact than it was before the revised True Strike.<s>9. A 2-level dip means that characters can also create for themselves 2 magic items, which will allow a lot of builds that are otherwise challenging to pull off (e.g. an Articficer 2/Rogue X can have a +1 throwing weapon that always returns. Not too powerful, but it allows a certain fantasy otherwise not there.)</s> EDIT: my bad --  you need level 6 to make a returning weapons; it's not really opening up space for creative builds.</blockquote>
