we are also revisting the devil forgemaster for our own rpg based game, when i finish the class would you like me to introduce it to the d20 system?
*on the combat, I find that hector and Isaac where very good in the fighting, but where we are working for is more of the forging, i believe and so does my colleague that the forgemaster should automatically attain all the forging metamagic feats (such as in the 3.5 dnd core players guide: forge ring, make magic arms and armor, ect.)
- the devil forgemaster ID's are being remade in our game to level up in a one line progression, ill give an example
the progressions are based on 1-20
levels 1-5 6-10 11-15 16-20+
Iron Knight -> Blade Knight -> Iron Vanguard -> Colossus Knight
like i stated in the previous thread, feel free to reuse or alter the information, i used the stats and attacks for balance reasons, the forgemaster i had in mind was a war-mage that wields familiars, while in reality he is a battle hardend warrior out for revenge and re-awakes the devastating powers of the innocent devils, Fairy, Magmar, Mage, Devil, Pumpkin, Crow, ect. the final innocend devil The End (cain i believe or abel lol) was not very impressive except for its increases in the ability scores of hector.
I don't find it wrong to want to keep him the way in CoD with the battle readiness but i feel that the ability to cast half as many spells per day as a wizard (with the ability of using druidic and clerical spells) makes him a useful tank as well as great blaster, or support player. which in fact you play most of the time in the game, whether your devils are tanking and your taking out monsters or guard impacting to regenerate their health, or just power leveling the devils.
On the leveling of devils.
i find that linking them directly to your own stats is a good way to make it less complicated to play and easier for newer players to pick up.
this is far from perfect, i just wanted to help introduce a new class to dungeons and dragons, dnd, adnd, d20, ect ect ect.
so please if you feel something needs changed go ahead and revamp it, ill keep helping if needed, i will rebuild it to my game and transfer it. feel free to email me as well
