Servus.
Adventurer Guide brought us some re-vamped PrC, as well as a bunch of new ones. I want to talk about the Sanguine Angel, as this one intrigues me. Iīm actually a fan of using TWF SwordīnīBoard on a PF Fighter, as that edition actually supports that style of play.
So, some observation on the Sanguine Angel:
- Maidenīs Shield gives TWF as virtual feat and letīs you ignore the DEX-prereq for each and any feat listed in the TWF feat chains. Thatīs the big one here, as STR-based dual-wielding is now possible.
- Erinyes Fury is a bit puzzling. You gain access to Dead Calm (Modified Rage for the Dreadnaught Barbarian archetype), either using twice Sanguine Angel levels, or adding Sanguine Angel levels to existing Dreadnaught levels. Puzzling because going without Barb levels has the higher net result of rage round in the lower level bracket.
- Furious Huntress is fascinating, as it moves to hit with bows to STR. Sadly, we canīt outright ignore DEX for feat prereqs here, too.
- Armor/Weapon Training: You either gain or advance existing A/W Training (Heavy Blades) by two steps. That even opens up the possibility to use AMH/WMH on a non-Fighter base.
So, Iīm fooling around with some builds, from FTR10/SA1+, FTR4/BARB6/SA1+ to BARB10/SA1+ and some plain 2 levels dips on regular archery builds for Erinyes Fury and so for, it looks promising.
Thoughts on the Sanguine Angel?
