Talk:Epic Path

Highest Priority Things To Do

• Write up the Undine racial background Done! Yay!

• Mid-level monsters (CR's 11 to 20)

• Need to make an edit pass on the Paladin to define good/evil acts, powers and spells

• Re-balance dweomermetals
  • Armor - Done!
  • Weapons - First pass done

• rewrite 'types of damage' entry for energy types and ER (fundamental and esoteric energy damage types)

• rewrite Fighter Tactics that reduce fear and other statuses (heroic tactic should reduce moderate to minor, advanced tactic should reduce strong to minor)

• rewrite forced movement rules to account for 3-D movement

• add 'feats of strength' combat maneuver

• idea for magic item sets (attuned sets) - instead of extra abilities with x number if pieces to the set, the effective caster level of items in the set go up, improving the existing effects

• Fortifications, Structures and Objects
• Siege Damage rules = Sunder

• Finish Equipment descriptions

• The "move 5-feet through difficult terrain" as a full round action needs renaming in my opinion. I think it should be "move 5 feet through impassable terrain" or something different from 'difficult terrain' which just means it costs double movement to move through. It obviously wouldn't let you move through blocked terrain, but I think it makes it clearer. Pls validate. Agree, needs a better name. "Severe" terrain? hrrm

• Sorcerer Bloodlines page
• Cleric Domains page

Character Classes

• Physical Adept class (Fleshcrafter?) - arcane-powered melee, re-tool eidolon-style abilities as self-buffs
• Mentat Warsage Storm Knight class - intelligence-based melee and thrown weapons user.

• Warden class (Sentinel? Guardian?) Cromlech (stance-based, lots of forced movement, gets tougher the longer they stay in the same square)

• When wardens stance, they create a warded zone around them
• Enemies in the zone are considered marked
• The zone gets bigger every round
• Marked enemies can be pulled as a swift action
• the warded zone starts as a 3x3, but the warden does not have to be in the center of it.
• feats make the warded zone bigger, and higher level wardens have larger zones
• warden pulls can knock things prone, applied staggered, shaken, etc
• wardens can make terrain difficult for enemies only
• get bonuses against prone foes

• Warlock class - arcane-powered pact magic, movement and close attacks
• Fanatic class - divine melee/unarmed, low heals, light armor, no spells. Lay on Hands that does damage; touch attacks.
• Gambler class - uses a deck of fate, with variant of hi/lo.

• draws a card at start of session. Prior to each attack, calls 'high' or 'low' and draws a new card. If card is as called, gets a bonus of some kind on the attack. If the call is wrong, gets a penalty of some kind. May also declare a flat draw to replace the card, for no buff or penalty.
• gets powers which are only usable based on the card currently in play, depending on elements like value, suit, even/odd/face
• class is primarily a controller/buffer/debuffer, but capable of doing damage via some basic "Harmony" (bard) style attack. The interesting part of the class comes from their options based on the hi/lo card draw for the round.

• Toxotes - high damage ranged attacks, trick shots (possibly just create via new rogue talents?)

New Systems

• Prestige-class replacement system (feat trees?)
• True Dweomers - data compilation begun

10th Corrupt Dweomers: Target a foe, any items they have no longer give them a bonus until the end of the encounter. If the items have a CL of 20 or below, there is no roll. If the items have a CL of 21 or higher, make a caster level check vs a target of 10+ the CL of each item. If it succeeds, the item no longer gives a bonus until the end of the encounter. If it fails, there is no effect.

11th

12th

13th Accursed Dweomers: As Corrupt Dweomers, except any affected items inflict a penalty equal to their normal bonus until the end of the encounter.
