To mimic what some did on reddit when the new books got out. Just got my copy of Ragoe of elements and I’ll answer some questions that are in the book.
Got any questions on the lore update or the new class, hit me up!
- Art is fantastic
- kineticist class is as versatile as many hopped
-
- light armor (maxing at master at 19)
-
- class DC/attack master at 15 edit: legendary at 19
Are there any cool archetypes in the book? Apart from the Kineticist multiclass archetype, that is. I always liked the very thematic little scattering of niche archetypes like Living Vessel or Artillerist in all of the new splats.
Sadly not really; 100 instances of the word archetype but most of them are the side bar on the book, gave a little for the 2 that are in there though
Of course you have the Kineticist and its about what you expect, gain channel elements (1 element access) and the elemental blast - though no free blast with a channel, no other bonuses and blast does not auto level. lvl4 gets your class feature of kinesis, lvl8/14/18 a repeatable to up the dmg die of the blast, gain element lvl10, and lvl 12 become expert in the class dc (max for archtype) and your standard set of lvl1 feat getter and 1/2 level feat getter
elementalist is updated and expanded from Secrets of magic, adds in elemental philosophy that gives you more spells for those that match a typing of one of the elements
• Elemental Cycle: Earth, fire, metal, water, wood • Inner Sea Elementalism: Air, earth, fire, waterexpands feats that give you a reaction or single action to do something extra when you cast a spell with X trait like burning spell
Ah, pity! The elementalist changes look cool, at least. Thanks for checking!
