Just wondering if anyone has tried or succeeded at build a Paper Talisman Spell Caster archetype or class like you see in Anime. They are often either Shrine Maidens, Onmyouji, Shinto/Tao Priest or Exorcists. I have tried to search for it but couldn't find any thing. I would assume that if it was an archetype monk would be the closest to it maybe cleric but they often don't wear armor. Would be curious to see what someone came up with.

Middle Finger of Vecna (link in sig) is working on a Shugenja base class that uses talismans right now! It should be released in the next few months. :smallsmile:

Can't wait to see that. Always been a fan of the stuff you people at MFoV put out.

Oh thank god this was a request. I thought we were going to have to start over on something new.

Haha, yeah.

And I'd like to say for the record that I was always opposed to calling our class a Shugenja. Onmyouji is a much better name.

I agree with the name preference, but I'm excited for the class! I just had a new player ask me if there was any talisman magic in 5E yesterday, and I had to tell her that no, though you could reflavor any spell with a somatic component as using one. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys cook up!

Y'all're not going to be disappointed! It's a really fun class! :smallbiggrin:

Any chance for a sneak peek at it? At least the subclasses, or something? I have a few thoughts for talisman-casters in general, and I'd like to see whether or not they'd work with what you Digits are planning. :smallbiggrin:

I don't know for sure what the Finger is planning for its release, but I know that I'm not gonna be the one who leaks it :smallwink:

Coming in blind and haven't read anything but...

I really hope that Dex is a casting stat for any Paper Talisman casters. The better your calligraphy (hand writing), the stronger your spells.

Totally adding a couple dex casters to my generic magic-user. The arcane version will use dex to write and the divine version will use dex to dance in order to appease a god...

I'm just learning about patreon... I feel out of the loop haha.
