    Default 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.


    Level Up Scheme
    {table] Name | Scheme | Votes
    A | New Forms at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18, with other forms available through feats | 13

    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)

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

    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.

    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.)
