Making the Entropomancer Worthwhile

[ThisIsZen]

Okay so the class is neat and I quite like it in theory, but I also know that as-written it's basically completely garbage unless you're willing to eat 5/10 casting for bad class features. Buuut I was wondering what one could do to make it... at least less of a handicap, if not actually good.

My initial thoughts are to give them 9/10 casting and change their capstone, though I'll refrain from speaking too much about the latter 'cause it would quickly drag this into the realm of homebrew. I'm mostly just looking for quick fixes that would work.

Have you checked out the Iron Chef (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?376810-Iron-Chef-Optimisation-Challenge-in-the-Playground-LXII) thread? I'm pretty sure Entropomancer was one of the ones they did, and that should give you ways to spice it up without homebrew.

Entropomancer was literally the first round in the playground (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?142470-Iron-Chef-Optimisation-Challenge-(As-seen-on-BG))

the tables are all broken now, so you might take a peek at it on the wayback machine or similar so you can see people's tables if they used them.

Squeeze the class into being 7 levels long, with every level gaining a class feature. Increased spell casting as fitting for optimization level, perhaps even every level getting increased casting. Quick and easy fix that doesn't let entropomancer to do anything they couldn't previously.

Be an undead. Entropic field negates magic healing, so that's a plus for you - ir you interpret it as positive energy healing. I made a boss out of a vampire cleric 8/entropomancer 8 and he was a beast when used right.
