You just gained a level in real life: 2022 edition!

If you are using Pathfinder rules, the OP says you may rebuild, but if using 3.5, the OP says you may not rebuild.

It’s a bummer (I’d definitely have gone Predator Mystic Ranger back in the first year if I’d known about the latter), but it means creativity on a long-term schedule is needed to course-correct.

It's really unfortunate that the scenario was set up this way. I actually didn't post in a few of the intermediate threads after the first because of this, and when I saw the thread this january I looked at my build again and remembered oh yeah, this build still sucks. Human Paragon first level vs. second level is so huge - On a skill point-strapped character, which is what I'm trying to build, it represents 16 additional skill points. I've recently looked into the build trying to salvage the situation but it's damn near impossible.

At high levels there's lots of cheese you can pull to change your levels around and/or get an arbitrary amount of skill points. It's really only a problem at low levels, so at most you're stuck with an annoying wait rather than an irreversible mistake.

Another year, another level ... Pathfinder, Unsworn Shaman, totaling 4 Synthesist, 2 Unsworn Shaman.

This is the point where things get interesting:

At 2nd level, she can instead select a hex from one of her wandering spirits selected for that day.

So many fun options to pick from.

Good thing I remember to check this before the year was over... I forgot to post this year!

Adding 1 level of Master Specialist (finally taking a prestige class!) to my 3.5 Conjurer Wizard.

For next years reference, I wanted to double check if the Expanded Spellbook class feature of Master Specialist was restricted to Wizard Spells only. I haven't gone looking for conjurations of other classes, but I wanted to run that by you before I spent the research time. It feels like a fairly weak class feature if it is restricted, but it doesn't explicitly say it can be out of class.

The files are getting harder to find, but it was made explicit in the errata that it's a Wizard spell only.

I was hoping someone had a better memory, but I wanted to double check. Luckily that cuts down on a lot of work!
