Talk:Archaeologist (Pathfinder Class)

Golly gosh, a pioneering Pathfinder homebrew contributor and it's an awesome class no less. Nice stuff! --SgtLion (talk) 10:59, 21 September 2015 (MDT)

Thanks! I'm very glad you like it! And yea, not much Pathfinder stuff here, but I like the site and wanted to contribute. I may be toning the class down a bit based on some suggestions I've gotten elsewhere, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. OzzyKP (talk) 12:16, 15 October 2015 (MDT)

I made a lot of edits to try and tone it down a bit. Here is my change log:

Changed Twist the Knife bonus, from Encyclopedic Knowledge to 1d4 instead of 1d6 extra damage

Changed Encyclopedia Knowledge cap to half class level and moved it to level 2 (instead of level 1)

Moved Improved Whip Mastery to level 3 (instead of level 5)

Moved Greater Whip Master to level 5 (instead of level 8)

Moved Whip Controller to level 7 (instead of level 11)

Polyglot now gives a bonus language and +1 in lingustics at every other level, starting at 2nd (instead of extra languages per linguistic point)

Clever explorer bonus now half of class level (instead of full class level)

Reasoned defense bonus is now lost if the archeologist wears any armor, and is moved to 8th level (instead of 6th)

Removed artifact bonuses for It Belongs in a Museum!
