    Default Custom Classes

    These are intended as an E6 Homebrew alternative set of base classes. Each below is a class with their generic class as a chassis(Warrior to Warrior, Expert to Expert). All abilities become Class Level based.I excluded casters because NPC classes are still available including the Eberron Adept(renamed Acolyte), Gleaner, Psychic Adept(renamed Spark), and Mageright. I removed the previous casters because most of their abilities could be mimicked with feats and the NPC classes above.

    Spoiler: Generic Theurge
    Show
    Generic Theurge: New class.
    Requirement: Two level one class ability sets.
    Class Abilities
    • Special: Progress existing class level based abilities from two of your base classes by one per level of Generic Theurge. You also advance casting and its variants. At third level in this class you gain the third level ability in two classes you have advanced twice already.
    • Saves: Good saves in shared saves from the base classes, or pic two if no shared saves
    • Warrior:Warrior=Good BaB, d10, 2+Int Skills, Feats continue progression as Warrior
    • Warrior:Expert=Medium BaB, d8, 4+Int Skills, Feats continue progression as Expert
    • Warrior:Caster=Medium BaB, d6, 2+Int Skills, Feats continue progression as Generic Caster
    • Expert:Expert=Medium BaB, d6, 6+Int Skills, Feats continue progression as Expert
    • Expert:Caster=Low BaB, d4, 4+Int Skills, Feats continue progression as Generic Caster
    • Caster:Caster=Low BaB, d4, 2+Int Skills



    Casters: Acolytes, Magerights, Gleaners, and Sparks all now have the base of a Generic Caster. This includes skills, HD, saves, and BaB. They retain their unique abilities and gain the Spheres of Power archetype for their associated class by default along with the Cantrips feat. You may gain the Incanter racial favored class bonuses. You may take archetypes you lack class features for, however you do not gain the associated ability from the archetype.
    • Acolyte(Adept): No longer gain a Familiar. May take a second domain as their first level bonus feat. Counts as a Cleric of their Acolyte level for the purposes of feats, spells, abilities and other options.
    • Gleaner: May take the Animal Friends feat whether they qualify or not. If taken as their first level bonus feat, it stacks with one other iteration of the feat up to the normal Animal Friendship limitations. Counts as a Druid of their Gleaner level for the purposes of feats, spells, abilities and other options.
    • Magewright: Gains Magical Training(Wizard) as a bonus feat whether or not they qualify, this now explicitly allows the scribing of spells as a Wizard. Magewright’s are counted as Wizards of their Magewright level for the purposes of feats, spells, abilities and other options(including specialization).
    • Spark(Psychic Adept): May choose a Pathfinder Sorcerer Bloodline in place of their bonus feat. They qualify and are counted as Sorcerers of their Spark level for the purposes of feats, spells, abilities, and other options with spells known being equal to powers known and power points being equal to (non-SoP)spell points and their spell slot analogs.
