Vote Up a New Base Class! The Final Round!

And the 3rd round comes to an end! Wow, that was a vicious bout, huh? Anyway, let's start discussing the level up scheme, shall we? Obviously, the shapeshifter will gain his first form at level 1, but what about the other 7-9 forms? Each form will improve as he levels, so we can't give him a form at level 20 (there's no time for buildup there, there will just be a nonform capstone)

I have two separate arrays in mind, so I'll post them here, and you guys can vote for A or B. Also, I'm going to have you vote on the flavor. How is he gaining his power?

You get two votes. One for the Level Up Scheme, one for the Fluff. Both votes may only be used to vote-up. Write-ins are allowed for the Flavor only.

Please remember to bold your votes. This round will conclude on January 30th.

Vote up Necromancer
Vote Down Shape Changer

Necromancer, as long as it is NOT a spellcaster.
Healer, as long as it is NOT a spellcaster.

Crafter Up*
Necromancer Up*

*Non-spellcaster

Vote up Shapeshifter and Skirmisher.

Votes tallied, and in case Edro asks, the crafting class was never intended to be a spellcaster. (Emulating spells, like an artificer, but no actual spellcasting)

Skirmisher
Psionic Artificer

EDIT: Changed my mind.

Both were meant to be non-magical, by the way.

Oh, they are. But when you voted, Silva had already voted down Shapeshifter, so your two votes canceled out. Sorry.

Up on Skirmisher.
Down on (non-casting) Necromancer.

Vote up skill monkey and skirmisher.

Up on Skill Monkey
Down on Skirmisher

Up Non-magical Debuffer that just seems fun/interesting
Down on Skirmisher

Ok, sorry. My bad.

In case it doesn't win, I already have something similar.

what is the difference between a skirmisher and a melee damager?

I just need a better deliniation between the two.. I think i understand.. but before I cast my vote I need to make sure.

A skirmisher is a 3/4 BAB class that focuses on mobility and precision damage, like a scout. A melee damager is a full BAB warrior who focuses on dishing out damage, like a barbarian.

Up Archer.
Up Skirmisher

VOTE UP NON CASTER BUFER!!!

the idea just blows my mind into little bits!!

Vote down NON CASTER CRAFTER GUY

vote up Melee Damager
vote up Invoker Blaster

Up Non-caster Shapeshifer

I meant no emulating spells either, just pure craftsmanship and skill

Oh okay. Well, I'll take that into consideration then. It'll take some brainstorming, but I'll figure it out. :smallsmile:

Please specify whether you would like to vote up the Spellcaster/Psionic/Invoker blaster or the non-magical blaster.

You need to select a magical or non-magical debuffer, TravelLog. :smallsmile: Please.

I could be mistaken, but it looks like Skirmisher should have a net of 2...? (I thought it would be more, in fact, but there have been a lot of down-votes for it.)

I will vote up Illusionist and non-caster shapeshifter

+1 Party Face
-1 Shapeshifter

I may change my mind though......sorry! :smallbiggrin:

+1 for non-caster necromancer, -1 for non-caster shapeshifter.
