Talk:Forgemaster (3.5e Prestige Class)

Notes

Class is taken from Scarred Lands Campaign Setting: Ghelspad p 232. Content was designed as Open Game Content in that work's license section. Words and sentences interpreted as product identity were removed.

The class itself is a train wreck and mostly useful for how NOT to create a class.

• The class has the ability to turn good and evil constructs. Constructs are always neutral.
• Catchcraft weapons have no gp value.
• Crafting roll doubles. DOUBLES.
• The crafter gets a divine bonus that gets explained as not stacking with an enhancement bonus. That's what non-stacking is for. That should be an enhancement bonus.
• The class's supreme ability only activates if your character dies.
• The class can turn intelligent evil weapons to good. How many of those have you seen in 3.x? Even in the Scarred Lands setting, you just don't see these items.
• It is a heavy skills class with a small skill list.
• The class is easily taken by fighters and paladins, but grants on a d6!!!

Balance

I rate this class at 4 for balance. It was written for 3.0 rules, but even for that rules set, this class doesn't work. It's barely acceptable as an NPC class. It only gets a four for reasonable writing, but even the writing is iffy. --Dmilewski 21:00, 18 February 2007 (MST)
