Message: <blockquote data-quote="Branding Opportunity" data-source="post: 2538545" data-attributes="member: 31812">Sure thing.  I'll give you the changes up to and including 4th level.Skills:Climb is no longer a class skill.Craft (small arms) is no longer a class skill.Disable Device is no longer a class skill.Use Rope is no longer a class skill.BAB:ArM now has Cleric's (or Average) BAB progression (i.e. 0, +1, +2, +3, +3 , etc ...) instead of Wizard's (Poor).Weapon and Armor Proficiency:ArM are no longer proficient with medium armor and shields, but are proficient with all simple weapons.  Arcane spell failure still applies to all spells with somatic components.Spells per Day:ArM gets more spells than before (see below), but is still capped at 6th level.[code]Level   0     1     21       4     1     -2       4     1     -3       4     2     04       4     2     1[/code]Class Abilities:This is where the big changes are.1st level:  Delete Scribe Scroll and Summon Familiar.  Substitute Etch Rune Plate (see below) and Fabrication score (10%).The funny thing about the new Etch Rune Plate feat is that Scribe Scroll is a prereq for it.  I guess an ArM can just ignore that?Fabrication is basically just a discount applied to the XP cost to create or draft mechanikal items.ETCH RUNE PLATE [ITEM CREATION]Vital components of all mechanikal devices, rune plates are crafted in a complex procedure involving the etching of scroll glyphs, alchemical treatments, and a series of washes of specific magically treated solutions that lock arcane glyph patterns into a plate of speically treated brass, copper, or alchemical aurum.The result of this process is a rune plate, and several mechanikal components cannot be created without the use of this feat.Prerequisite: Scribe Scroll, Craft (alchemy) 4 ranksBenefit:  A character with this feat can create mechanikal rune plates using spells from scrolls or spells the character knows.  The base price for a rune plate is the spell level X the caster level X 275 gp.  Etching a standard rune plate of the sort used in mehcnikal wants or arcantrik convergence engines takes one day for each 1,000 gp in its market price (minimum 1 day).  The character must pay 1/25th of the rune plate's market cost in XP.2nd level: Get rid of Mechanika familiarity and substitute Charge AccumulatorThe Charge Accumulator ability has changed.  The ArM now converts spell levels into accumulator charges on a 1:1 basis, instead of 2:1 as in the IKCG.  Otherwise the ability is the same.3rd level:  Take out Craft Wondrous Item, and substitute Bonus feat and Mechanika familiarity.  Bonus feats can be drawn from the following list:  Craft Accumulator, Craft Cerebral Matrix, Craft Cortex, Craft Mechanikal Construct, Craft Mechanikal Prosthetic, Craft Wondrous Item, Mechanikal Specialty, and Union Steamo.Mechanika Familiarity:  An arcane mechanik never needs to make a Craft (mechanika) check to use a mechanikal device he has built.  He also gains a competence bonus to all Craft (mechanika) skill checks to use foreign mechanika, replace accumulators and rune plates, and to repair damaged mechanika equal to his class level (maximum +10).4th level: Charge accumulator moved to second level.  No new class ability.Let me know if you have other questions/comments, linnorm.BrOp</blockquote>
