Feydark Illusionist gives you the ability to get Charisma to Hit and Damage for about the same investment as it takes to get Int on the harpers tree.

Fucking.

Finally.

  

I'll never understand the propensity of people to brag about being good at a video game. Its a toy you play with for fun. The only person who should be proud of you is your mother. If you're 3.

(Yes, I am aware PDKs have cha-hit/damage, are you aware PDKs are ugly as fuck?)

The other option was to graphically re-design the PDK and turn the "Ugly" slider down several notches, but honestly this is a lot better. I feel like a lot of players will be thrilled.

It requires the feat "Magical Training" for the first Core, and is a T1 and T2 enhancement; contrast with Harper which is a T1 and T3 with no feat requirement for INT to-hit/damage.

At least it is an option, now, instead of being solely PDK or FvS.

It also helps sorc EK too. One of the reason (if not THE reason) they were never a thing was because of the inability to use their main ability stat for casting, hitting and damaging like wizzies could. Now you don't even need to be forced in a class level or race.

Soooooooooooo, what's next? Constitution to hit and damage without needing to be dwarf? In all honesty I was afraid that this new tree would be another inquisitive power creep fest but it looks fairly normal and the 5th tier is pretty much a blade barrier that saves on will. Interesting

With DEX to-hit/damage being fairly prevalent in several classes/enhancements, INT/WIS/CHA to-hit/damage available via universal enhancements, all that remains is to make CON to-hit/damage more accessibly instead of just being a Dwarf thing.

Cheesy Grin

Maybe make an enhancement for STR to replace INT/WIS/CHA for spell DCs? See how far down the musical chairs hole it goes?

Well consider: "Magical Training is automatically granted the first time that a character gains a level in any of the following classes: Alchemist, Artificer, Cleric, Druid, Favored Soul, Sorcerer, Warlock or Wizard." - so most of the base/splash classes you would want to USE it on already get it for free.

The only other classes that *might* want it are paladin, barbarian(iffy), and bard; and who the hell plays a pure bard?

Of those 3, two are spellcasters and can benefit from the extra 80 MP, and even IF you wanted to play a pure CHA-based Barbarian, chances are you are looking to use Cocoon for self-healing, so while Magical Training is not optimal, its also not a waste.

I mean I'm open to a discussion, here: can anyone really think of a scenario where you want to make use of this tree and can't reap at least some benefit from Magical Training?



So Yeah its not strictly "As good" as Harpers; but i'm also hard-pressed to think of a build that uses harpers and doesn't already have Magical Training.


Then again, an int-based barbarian would be funny.

Well, melee already essentially have 5 must-have Heroic feats (3 combat style feats, Improved Critical, and either Power Attach or Precision), and you only get 6 standard Heroic feats sub-Level 20. The Bard is likely going to splash, and a Charisma Barbarian seems like an odd choice, so Paladins are probably going to be the only class that needs to make a hard choice whether or not to get Magical Training.

Bladeforged would need to sacrifice their Body feat, or splash and sacrifice KotC capstone.

No self sustain/healing was the biggest limiter against sorc EKs.

WF/BF Sorc EK, problem solved. You can get 0% ASF even in adamantine body.

Well how badly did you want to play a sorc EK? They weren't exactly going to be top-tier to begin with Tongue

Think about it.

PDK, Tiefling, Dragonboring, memeing as an aasimar with the druid PL with flameblade... I knocked out a few EPLs while testing various race combos for pure sorc EKs back in the day.

At this point my hatred of WF is more tied to the fact I refuse to further clog up my TR cache/bank with docents.

Yep. I have exactly 3 docents in my armor mule. Blademark’s docent, Memory of Fine Regalia, and Enigma Core.

I don’t think I’ll run another toaster life ever, but if I do, it’s just for the racial past life.

See for me the reconstruct SLA was everything. Bladeforged let me play a lot of things I'd never have touched otherwise. I think of my 25 heroic lives about 9 of them were BF.

I feel that way towards Aasimar. You can't fuck up anything on an aasimar technically speaking. Well, you could but you'd have to truly be intentionally trying to sabotage yourself.

I'm playing Aasimar right now and enjoying it quite a bit. That might even just be a better choice for a Cha-based sorc EK(though self healing will be a bit hard). I'd had an Aasimar FvS before and it was fun if ineffectual. I think they are becoming my second favorite race behind BF.
