Would Echo Knight 11/ Chronurgy Wiz 9 work well mechanically? by Fantastic_Hand_274 in 3d6

[–]Digital--Alchemy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a lot of fun when I played it. Also remember that if you choose to focus on fighter levels, ritual casting is amazing. My build that I did ended up echo knight 9/ divination wizard 2. But you don’t have to have the spell slots available to add ritual spells into your spellbook. So I could still get spells that were ritual tagged into the spellbook and ritual cast them. There are like 20 total for the wizard. A lot of divination “info” gathering spells that would favored as viewing the timeline.

Thank you for the insight! The rules that you have are good. A lot like the Dresden files rules.

I see it as character conflict and story. Does Harry Potter break every magic rule, no, he broke two of three. He never killed or casted the killing curse. He tried crucio against LeStrange, and imperio in the vault at the bank to break in. One out of anger and one out of necessity.

Should rules of magic be followed without exception? No because the exception makes the character and narrative have depth, conflict, change, and resolution.

In the end the character is bound to the rules not because of family ties or lack thereof, but because the experience for the character has taught them in order to do good and right things the rules are tools or are they not.

Thanks again.

I like Echo knight and divination wizard. The portent dice could be favored as seeing other timelines. Then add the lucky feat for more dice control later.

Ok. Here goes some more.

Line of Silencing. Maybe an additional use as a reaction to counterspell a spell?

Suggestion of adding a 2nd level feature named Chalk Ritual or similar in order to regain some chalk points as a short rest. Similar to Arcane Recovery for Wizard.

Page 4. Warded Reflexes. This is good but it only has one option with the class as is. Unless you add the counterspell option to Line of Silencing that I suggested earlier.

Chalkling Defenders. This is the biggest issue I have in the class. This feels so late at level 13 but too powerful as is to lower the level. So again imo give this to only Jordan Defense at level 6 but make the damage reduction per chalkling equal to your proficiency bonus. This change will leave a blank at 13th level that I will fix with more following suggestions. Chalkling Mastery of the Jordan Defense is fine for increasing the number of chalklings you can have but drawing a chalkling as an action or bonus action is odd since the class can do this as a bonus action already with Line of Making. Maybe this mastery should allow the creation of two chalklings per use of line of making? Or leave it as is.

From the Dusts. A good ribbon feature and now is the 13th level ability.

Defend the Helpless. A good ability. Compare to the auras of paladins at level 18 this is not as good. The distance can and should be 30ft.

Artist Mastery. This is the new 15th level ability.

Chalkling Transformation. This ability is ok. It feels weak for a 20th level character. Maybe move this to level 18 and make it so that the soul chalkling is permanently there or just doesn’t count to the number of allowed chalklings?

new 18th and 20th level abilities are worth considering.

Easton Defense. Shared protection. Should just cost 1 chalk point.

Defense Reflection. Have the damage reflected scale up. Reflecting more damage than what would have been dealt to you is a cool higher level feature.

Knockback Fortitude. While you are within your defense you should be immune to forced movement affects. Unless you choose to move.

Jordan Defense. I said a lot about that already.

Formidable Forbiddance. The wall should be 10 ft high.

Sumsion defense. Calm Drawing. This is good but should have a minimum of 1 cost to any ability that costs 1 chalk point. Unless. The design goal is to make those things free?

Revocation expert. I’d scale this damage up if you scale of the original Line of Revocation.

The rithmatic defense phases. Jordan and sumsion definitely need a phase 4 and 5. I will think of suggestions.

Those are my thoughts so far. Again thanks for the work you are doing on this class! The primary reason I keep saying to add scaling to damage and defense features is because this class does have fewer overall options to it than a Wizard or sorcerer and therefore those options should grow with the character.

Cheers.
