Tweaked the Seed lists for all of the base casting classes (Arcanist, Ecclesiast, Gallant, Totem Master), given that I've created a whole pile of new seeds. Also made it easier to reference those lists in the future, if I ever design another base class.

Thinking about designing a pure casting Nature class, for instance. Which the Totem Master most certainly isn't.

Edit:

Added in the God of Time (Amserwch).
Added a new Prestige Class (Flonha Lifeweaver).
Created a few new feats to share seeds amongst casting classes.

I have a couple of thoughts on the Yn Gyntaf Tribal Champion:
Protect the Weak (Ex) needs a range (reach?).

That's it really... after rereading the other thing.
I don't pee messages into the snow often , but when I do , it's in Cyrillic with Fake Viagra.  Stay frosty my friends.

Has one. Says adjacent. So you have to be standing next to the target you want to protect.

Hegwyd Pearl Captain added. Time to get your singing voice on.

Sorry, missed that. The Pybyr one should allow you to save/store a penalty/bonus to skill checks, not skill points (unless you want people arguing about weird shenanigans to enter PrCs early :P ).

Nice PrC, also. I love the idea of the Pybyr's ability to store ability scores/energy. I came close to playing one of those instead of a Flohna.

I wonder if SDK is going to pick up Gallant levels now, so he can access that Hegwyd PrC (for the Golden Voice ability). :D

All sorted now. Which is good, because I do not like early entry crap :bash

Blatantly stolen from Brandson Sanderson's Mistborn series. One of the MCs can do it. They wear metal bands to store the energy into.

We'll find out. :D I like Jaunty Song the most of those abilities though.

Edit: And that's all of the racial classes done. Each one is designed to be entered after ECL 3 (or 4, for the Llethu) and make you more racially you. Easiest entry will always be via racial favoured class.

Flonha Lifeweaver
Biyou Arcane Scholar
Llethu Noble
Yn Gyntaf Tribal Champion
Hegwyd Pearl Captain
Pybyr Fluctator

Trying to figure out what theme to use for the next set of classes, since right now they're rather scattered about.

Recommendations?

In the meantime, I'm going to go about sorting out all the combo classes. Or at least the ones I can at the moment.

So, instead of combo classes I ended up starting Spellsong and continuing to work on Necromantic magic... Getting both of those two up to speed is going to take a little while...

Spell singer is missing from the class index-post-thing, where it discusses which class is affiliated with which god.

Spellsong is for Fasnachu, so you've got the whole arts and beauty thing going on. And trade/creation.

Of course it was missing. There's no class yet! :bash

Okay, added the Spellbond skill to the Arcanist, Ecclesiast, Biyou Arcane Scholar, Flonha Lifeweaver, Havoc Mage, Tro Ar Fyd Elemental Scion, Twilight Walker, and Webspinner.

Also removed UMD from all classes in Arhosa.

But what is my Ritualist going to do with his skill points?  :P

That's merely because I haven't edited them. It still won't function in game :bash

Although, if you want to suggest a skill like Spellbond for rituals, feel free :)

It doesn't count until you edit it in.   :lmao

I think the feat support for rituals is good enough.

Who's the DM here, Mr. "I just volunteered to feed a winter wolf"? :P

Also, feat support yes, but the ritual classes don't have a lot to do with their skill points. I'm also seriously debating capping Open Souled at day/HD. Right now, with a little finagling, you could shapechange into something for half a year.

But I like open souled. [/whine]

Yeah, it looks abusable.  Then again, is there anything that isn't ritual warrior/that ritual warrior-esque prestige class that reduces the duration of a ritual?

Pretty much nothing, aside from expending the rituals for a class ability. So they are almost always one day a HD.

And yes,I know you like it :P
