Chameleon for other types of magic
Ok, if Chameleons had aspects for other types of magic, what would they look like?
Martial maneuvers?
Psionics?
Incarnum?
True naming?
Binding?The Cranky Gamer

Re: Chameleon for other types of magic
A quick fix at least for truenaming and binding would be to use the bonus feat to pick up "Bind Vestige" or "Minor Utterance", but you'd have to find a way to get 6 ranks of truename skill.

Re: Chameleon for other types of magic
A Red Mage version on the wizards boards added a psionic focus: http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archi...x.php/t-778804. I seem to remember someone there or here adding a martial focus that granted more maneuvers than you'd get with just a martial study feat.

Re: Chameleon for other types of magic
Factotum with the truenameing skill into Chameleon would solve the problems with taking Minor Utterance.

Re: Chameleon for other types of magic
Here's a snapshot of my base class Chameleon's maneuver progression from 6-15, slightly modified for use with the 10-level PrC:
{table=head]Level|Maneuvers Known|Maneuvers Readied|Stances Known
1|7|4|1
2|7|4|1
3|8|4|2
4|9|4|2
5|9|5|2
6|10|5|3
7|11|5|3
8|11|5|3
9|12|5|3
10|13|6|4[/table]
Pretty poor progression, huh? Well, he has access to every discipline, so... poor progression it is.
EDIT: I don't think you should give psionics to the Chameleon. Chameleons do not gain any kind of innate supernatural powers from the class; everything they do is a learned skill. I'm pretty sure that all psionic abilities depend on an innate power (much like a Sorcerer's magic), but I don't know everything about psionics. Can anyone find a source contradicting this? I'd kind of like to put psionics into the Chameleon, but part of the class's theme is that you've only learned to use these abilities; you haven't been born with a wide variety of magical gifts or anything like that.Last edited by FMArthur; 2008-11-02 at 12:59 PM.
- Chameleon Base Class [3.5]/[PF]: A versatile, morphic class that mimics one basic party role (warrior, caster, sneak, etc) at a time. If you find yourself getting bored of any class you play too long, the Chameleon is for you!
- Warlock Power Sources [3.5]: Making Hellfire Warlock part of the base class and providing other similar options for Warlocks whose powers don't come from devils.
