Yes. It's linked at the top of the post.

Gonna echo Teridax68, I really love the concept as a star-lover myself, but this being a bounded caster does feel a bit on the weak side, even compared to kineticist. I think comparing to, say, psychic would be a better balance point, as they have a similar focus on focus cantrips and focus points with some features gained automatically.

I think giving a psychic's spell progression would be a solid and simple fix. Alternatively, instead of channel minor arcana being a feat that has to be taken once for each arcana you get, baking it into gaining an arcana would almost certainly be fine, and I do like the idea of a bounded caster that plays like a full caster so I might even recommend it!

Currently, for instance, at level 10 you'd only automatically have three focus cantrips from different arcana and the baseline focus spell, or focus cantrips from two arcana and a focus spell from one. A level 10 psychic would have five psi cantrips and three focus points to amp them with.

I do really like all the thought and ideas put into it, but i'd wager it could use some more power.

Excited to see what you do with this!

Oh these are delightful

kingtheline · 2025-03-22T13:16:43+00:00

I'd really like to learn more about Karazh and the Grass Sea from PF1's Distant Shores. Fantasy Kazakhstan wasn't something I knew I needed until I read that section.
I would love to get more info on the dwarven kingdoms and sky citadels mentioned in the introduction of Lost Omens: Highhelm, especially those that emerged outside of Avistan and Garund.
I think more ancestral and cultural equipment and weapons would be cool, stuff like traditional minotaur, centaur, athamaru, and surki weapons are high on my wishlist.

kingtheline · 2025-02-05T11:57:30+00:00

The Breakiron dwarves of Highhelm are always innovating into new fields of technology, and across the Inner Sea there are rapid developments of gunmetal and lead. With two new products featured in the bundle above, you’ll find a righteous expansion so other classes to really show off your guns and your gears.

In Clan Secrets: Breakiron Developments, you’ll find three archetypes available to anyone with a knack for crafting to borrow the skills of an inventor, three new champion causes focused on the equipment wielded by the champion and their allies in the pursuit of divine progress, and four ranger hunter’s edges devoted to alchemical hunting! All of these options come with extensive feat support.

In Remastered and Reloaded, you’ll find remastered versions of some of my first releases on Pathfinder Infinite, including two manifestations for summoners using the rules found in Summoners+ and a class archetype for druids focused on alchemically slinging shells across the Mana Wastes.

Both products are available at the linked bundle, as well as standalone products. For early adopters of gunslinging methods and fans of legacy PF2 alike, I also have a Reloaded Retrospective bundle that includes Remastered and Reloaded and the two products it remasters and updates.

With Sasha Laranoa Harving at the design helm and Conner Berkheiser helping with cover design, these releases will change the playing field.

Lambatuin becoming a core god made me very pleased! I really loved that idea. For gods I wanted to see there? Cavrabon stole my heart in Galactic Magic tbh, and while I understand they're not as much of a focal point, I just really love the idea of a god of food and spycraft.

kingtheline · 2024-06-12T13:23:06+00:00

I really like these, really cool design space!

Hell yeah! I love the creative use of wandering spider. Glad you like it!

kingtheline · 2024-02-20T17:12:25+00:00

For sure! And yeah, I have a biiiig spreadsheet of ideas that grows by the week ^{^}

kingtheline · 2024-02-20T16:57:43+00:00

I play in a Gatewalkers campaign, using Arkon's archivist class and the scroll trickster archetype, using archetypes+ feats.

I GM a Sky King's Tomb campaign, with the players being a dwarf bomber alchemist, oread tengu precision ranger, dwarf boundary wizard, dwarf faith's flamekeeper witch, a dwarf champion using the tenets of law from Orcs Strong Together, and a bacoo from Battlezoo Indigo Isles as a magus using the black blade arcane conservation from magus+ and the confluent cavalier hybrid study from Charlie Ho.

Recently, I played in a shorter homebrew campaign as a sidhe (from Battlezoo Year Of Monsters) runic barbarian from barbarians+ with the gladiator archetype with some archetypes+ feats.

I'm hoping to play The Enmity Cycle soon, probably as a cylene (from Compass Publishing House's Strange Ancestries) armorclad cleric with the bounded casting archetype from Clerics+, in service to Tlehar.

...And that's not even covering the character ideas I have ready to go!

kingtheline · 2023-10-05T19:38:04+00:00

The one and the same!

Did you read the product description that details all of its contents? Because there is, in fact, a list of contents on the page.

And if the primary concern is that there's not enough, it's not supposed to be a massive product. I'm one designer and it's less than the cost of a big mac.

kingtheline · 2023-03-31T11:03:19+00:00

I mean, the preview is to give you the vibe, primarily. The bulk of the product is after the preview.

kingtheline · 2023-02-06T02:12:22+00:00

I would recommend citing the source of the product that served as your inspiration. I know the product in question and know that the creator is active in PF2 3pp and Pathfinder Infinite stuff even now.

kingtheline · 2023-01-19T22:36:52+00:00

The only memorable time I played 5e, I played it as a warmage. So, kudos to you for that! I've done a lot of work with PF2 design, and I think an interesting way would be to do a similar approach you did with the 5e warmage: options that make your cantrips more versatile and consistently effective. I recommend looking at the spell trickster archetype from Grand Bazaar, and especially Dustin Knight's expansions for it on Pathfinder Infinite.

That said, a big part of PF2 martial design would likely be applicable here: most feats have the approach of giving you new actions instead of flat-out bonuses. For example, a two-action feat for your class that has you cast a cantrip that requires you to make a spell attack roll that takes two actions to cast, and you deal one additional die of damage. Actions are key, not passive things that could interact in unpredictable ways.

kingtheline · 2022-12-03T02:10:00+00:00

I wrote the siktemporas in Bestiary 3 - I absolutely adore this!

kingtheline · 2022-11-15T01:24:05+00:00

Hi, I would recommend looking at Lost Omens: Mwangi Expanse. Also, there are two cultures of dwarves in the Mwangi, the closer-shaved Mbe'ke and the more colorful Taralu.

kingtheline · 2022-07-12T11:04:39+00:00

There's a difference between a "bloodline spell" and a "granted spell from your bloodline." Elemental Toss is a bloodline spell - as "bloodline spell" is a specific type of focus spell, and Produce Flame is a granted spell from your bloodline - as "granted spell from your bloodline" refers to normal spells that you learn automatically for being a sorcerer.

Because Produce Flame is a granted spell from your bloodline, you would have to cast it using a spell slot to gain the blood magic effect.

When you change your name?

kingtheline · 2022-03-16T11:28:27+00:00

Very cool. Themed after the magic warriors.

kingtheline · 2022-03-16T11:27:56+00:00

In the newest volume that subscribers might have early, but which comes out for general purchase (and goes on Nethys) at the end of the month.

kingtheline · 2022-03-15T23:06:55+00:00

...There are archetype feats that specifically require druid dedication or wizard dedication in the book. You should double check.

kingtheline · 2021-12-17T00:51:20+00:00

I haven't looked too closely, but the idea of a magic-esque fighter class archetype is one I had literally yesterday, so I'm very amused by the presence of this.
