Talk:Epic Path

Using this page for our "Things that still need to be done" notes. I recommend we delete some stuff if we're confident it has been implemented to our satisfaction.

Character Classes

• Physical Adept class - 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?) (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?)

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.
