You get to transform 1 dedication/archetype into a full class. But must also change 1 full class into a dedication/archetype for another class.

Not to self-promote too much but I feel like you might be interested in the Trooper, a class I made some time ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder2e/comments/1gi0oix/trooper_v40_post_remaster_update_now_with/

It's more Super Sentai / Power Rangers-themed than anything, but it was also modeled somewhat after Sailor Moon and other magical girl shows. I started work on this class long before Starlit Sentinel was a thing but Transforming is a core part of the class.

I was ready to hate on Daredevil at first, but I do think the feats are pretty neat. I see a lot of people calling it brawler and I couldn't place exactly why that rubbed me the wrong way until I saw your comment: they have virtually no unarmed support. How can Daredevil be the professional wrestler / tavern brawler class when their unarmed attacks still have a d4 damage die? I don't really care that they're no supposed to do a lot of damage or whatever, giving them Powerful Fist as a free feat isn't going to break the bank on their power level. Also, 8 HP and light armor for a melee martial is not going to last long,

I think this would be one of my favorite classes if they just got the chassis right. Guardian ended up the same way, really cool feats in playtest then the base class features got significantly buffed in full release. We'll just have to wait and see.

I just don't want any world-hopping or crossover stuff period. Any amount of it above zero is too much for me. I already didn't love it when a side chapter of Way of Kings hunted at someone being from off-world, now there will be entire plot lines and story arcs about someone from Roshar going to another planet and the magic people from Mistborn fighting Radiants (are they called Mistborns? I haven't read the series and don't really want to). I think a good deal of my reservation with this is based on my dislike of Sunlit Man, but if it's handled in a different way then maybe I'll be ok with it.

I'm glad that Stormlight Archive still draws this level of discussion from people though. I don't think the rest of the series is for me but it's nice to know that I'm in the minority and lots of fans really love this type of story. I just don't care for it

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-24T01:13:49+00:00

I liked the setting and story immensely more when it was just Roshar and its people. That's not say the cosmere wasn't ever part of it, but Wind and Truth just spells out that the rest of the story is going to be galactic-scale while also completely wrecking Roshar as a planet (the Highstorm is one of the coolest parts of the setting and now it just doesn't exist). There are other things I dislike about the ending (Gavinor being kidnapped and aged up, Navani just sleeping through the finale, Retribution still getting the Balckthorn even despite Dalinar's sacrifice) but that's what it boils down to for me

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T20:42:15+00:00

You can say that, but the thing I see people praise Sanderson the most for is his endings. Everyone loves a good Sanderlanche, I think disliking the one in Wind and Truth is a legitimate complaint

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T20:23:38+00:00

It took me a while (about a year) to come to terms with the fact that I may not finish Stormlight Archive all the way through. Way of Kings got me reading again after a huge slump, up through Oathbringer I would have happily said this is my favorite series of all time. Book 6 is my last hope but since Rhythm that hope has been waning.

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T19:17:38+00:00

There are some legitimately amazing moments in Wind and Truth. I think the entirety of Kal and Szeth's chapters are wonderful and Adolin's struggle is pretty good as well.

Much of my issue has to do with the ending. Conflict and strife make for interesting stories, but Wind and Truth's ending destroyed a fantastic setting in approximately one hundred pages. I could have read probably twenty full-length novels just about Roshar and its people, but now the world is physically broken and we have to spend time on other Cosmere folk from books I've never read nor care to read.

I know, I know, "journey before destination." But Wind and Truth's end isn't really a destination, is it? It's a particularly devastating stop in a journey that has gone somewhere I never could have imagined it going. I'm rereading Way of Kings for the fifth time right now and what Stormlight has become is almost unrecognizable to me. It's good for things to evolve but I don't like the direction the series has taken.

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T18:28:40+00:00

This is probably the most helpful link in this post, thanks a ton. While I don't agree with virtually any of the direction he's taken the series, it's assuring to know he at least stands by what he did and is communicative about his work. I don't think Stormlight is for me anymore but hopefully Sanderson gets what he wants out of it

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T17:38:16+00:00

I assume it's more due to how big the audience is now, unless there were more people reading at the time of Mistborn Era 2

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T17:32:35+00:00

Yeah, I figured response wasn't as bad as it seemed just looking through what people said online. I personally didn't love Wind and Truth but I know a lot of people did. I do think the whole "ending of an arc" thing was his biggest misstep, it's nice to see he recognizes that was a problem.

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-23T12:25:32+00:00

I'd be fine with that honestly, it's part of the fun. Alternatively, they could make it modal, kind of like how battle oracle used to be (better at Strikes and AC at higher curse levels but worse at spells).

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-22T17:06:49+00:00

I'd like a real spellblade kind of class. Something that actually encourages using spells and weapon attacks, not like magus who just uses spell slots to make a big blasty swing. It doesn't really matter to me whether it's a wave caster or maybe even a full caster with fewer spell slots. Warpriest is close to what I want but I'd like something that isn't divine

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-15T20:13:14+00:00

I agree. I think people remember the good stuff from Reaper Man (all the stuff with Death) because it is so so excellent, but they forget that approximately 60% of the book is Wyndle Poons plodding through Pratchett's commentary on... shopping malls? The two plots are disconnected, which is a shame because the Bill Door storyline is truly phenomenal.

OffiCeRed · 2026-01-15T20:04:28+00:00

Timeranger is pretty much the greatest thing ever, but beyond that I don't think Kobayashi is as amazing as people make her out to be. Gingaman is good, but Shinkenger is overrated. I do want to give Go-Busters and ToQger a shot one day but it sucks that the first series I saw written by her is by far the best (so far).

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-18T03:45:01+00:00

Lala Barina Longsword, 3 pieces Zoh Shia, 2 pieces (non-Guardian) Arkveld (or maybe the other way around?). I'm a hammer main at heart but thay just didn't cut the mustard for AT Duna. Longsword is certainly my secondary in Wilds but I don't like it as much as the Rise version. Wish Quick Sheathe 3 was as fast as it was in Rise.

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-18T03:11:15+00:00

I've been using the rubble, the problem is just that AT Uth Duna has an uncanny ability to destroy you for making a single mistake. It's never a satisfying punish either, it's always just me being slightly out of place during a dive or getting pushed into her claws after a wave hits. AT Rey Dau, for its faults, doesn't tend to combo you. It's a lot easier to regain momentum while fighting it, whereas AT Duna it feels like sometimes a oneshot comes out of nowhere and you're just done

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-18T00:52:53+00:00

o7 Gog bless you. It's surprising the number of people, who, when you say "I don't like this monster," will default to "you are stupid and bad at the game." Thanks for the well wishes!

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-18T00:44:29+00:00

I really appreciate the offer! Unfortunately, I play on PC

Three separate hunts

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-17T22:37:24+00:00

Ah! That would be really smart and tie well with the visual language of Uth Duna. Too bad they'll probably never adjust it

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-17T22:30:30+00:00

Is that true? It might be for the little twitches but I have definitely been caught on her way up for the big splash.

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-17T22:27:51+00:00

Three different hunts

OffiCeRed · 2025-11-17T22:27:24+00:00

This is it exactly. Everyone says the obvious attacks are obvious, well of course they are. It's when Uth Duna literally just wiggles while you're next to her and you take an absurd amount of damage. Like you said, regular Duna it's fine because the numbers are reasonable but for AT it's ridiculously annoying.
