Shaper of the Way (3.5, ToB, Spellshaping) (PEACH)

[The-Mage-King]

So, to return to this, I feel like Combined Recovery might be something that you'll want earlier. Thing is, the most "supernatural" of the martial adepts is the swordsage--and, let's call a spade a spade, recovering maneuvers as a swordsage is terrible.

Hm... Maybe to level 3...

In terms of filling up dead levels, two ideas have been had! First, some kind of synergy between boosts and minor formulae would be nice. They both eat up your swift actions, and such a feature would really set this apart from the sublime shaper, which has to juggle both.

Level 6...

Secondly, it would be really interesting to be able to adopt certain formulae as stances. I'm thinking that the requirements of the Persistent Formula metashaping feat would be a good guideline on that one.

And level 9...

I'll keep thinking. It's a good idea to have a generalist prestige class for this, and I want to make sure that it doesn't feel like Sublime Shaper Lite.

Well, most likely with these ideas alone, it won't feel like Shaper Lite.


Yeah, I'll write up a revision using those ideas. That should be just about right for this as a generic class.
