I really love playing as an investigator in Pathfinder and what was wondering what feels the closest to such from people who have had experience with Level Up A5E.
As someone who’s been designing savant archetypes, I would love to know more about what you loved about the Investigator.I really love playing as an investigator in Pathfinder and what was wondering what feels the closest to such from people who have had experience with Level Up A5E.
That was my thoughts as well.I’m not too familiar with the PF class but maybe the savant?
Valda's is something I love [still waiting for the Starter Kit to be shipped and such but eagerly awaiting.]The Savant. Alternatively, you could play the Investigator class from Valda's Spire of Secrets, an excellent 3PP product from Mage Hand Press.
For me, the thing I loved most about investigators is building on the social and world of the games that I use the class in. I'm not much of a combat person, but even when I am in combat, due to the ability Devise a Stratagem making sure that the investigator doesn't feel useless. I also think the idea of pursuing leads and having to choose carefully between what is important in the now in a campaign and what is important overall is all stuff that is fun to pay attention to and balance out with Pursue a Lead. Finally, my favorite Investigator feat (compared to those two main abilities) happens to be That's Odd - I've found it both compelling for both the players and the DM. It lets something stand out every time the characters move to a different space, and DMs always have the opportunity to put plot hooks and stuff for players to dig their teeth into. Those three really embrace the spirit of the Investigator overall no matter what methodology/archetype you choose.As someone who’s been designing savant archetypes, I would love to know more about what you loved about the Investigator.
