[QUOTE="Merlion, post: 2441360, member: 10397"] Thats another one I pretty much figured, and that I like very much. I prefer the Champion to the Paladin in nearly every way but what you mention is especially nice...their special abilities actually make them better warriors I've gotten the impression that the Runethane is especially good as a character who sets up a battlefield before the battle, given that there runes must usualy be placed, and many are triggered. It seems like they'd be awfully good at "buffing" also Hmmm so a Witch can indeed be viable as a sort of fightning spellcaster as well? They do have medium BAB of course. Although most of their special abilities are non-support, or support only for they themselves unlike the Bard who's special abilities boost the whole party. Most of the Witcheries are either attacks or personal defenses or utility effects, many of which are pretty similiar to existing spells so I just dont know for sure how those would fit. I guess as spellcasters a lot would depend on your witch type, and which manifestations you choose I guess Totem Warrior is one where really a lot of your role would be dictated by your totem animal I dont have AE so I'm not really terribly familiar with the Ritual Warrior Greenbond, Mageblade, Akashic, Oathsworn The Greenbond is pretty obvious...support and healing is going to be their strongsuite. Mageblade is interesting tho since nobody has ever really done a melee/magic core class before. I'm kind of wondering how good they really are at either half, wether it tends to be better to focus on one or the other, etc. Akashic is a pretty unique class to, and I guess your role would depend mostly on your choice of abilities. I agree. What I am curious about tho is the natural mechanical inclinations of the classes. Even tho it is much easier to do anything with any class in AU, certain classes are still going to tend to be strong or weak in certain areas. Of course one thing that makes it hard to do what I am trying to do is that so many of the AU/AE classes come in different flavours (Witch, Totem Warrior, Champion for instance) Why is it a shame? Its just a point of reference, a way of describing. [/QUOTE]
