Thanks for the boost! I’m trying to add material to the blog regularly; please let me know if anyone has comments or suggestions!

[Brycelor]

Here’s a shoutout to another community contributor @Crazy_Weasel for his Bearserker archetype!

Bearzerker

[Crazy_Weasel]

Thanks for the Shoutout, My stuff may not be perfect, but I hope someone can get some fun and use out of it.

[targ8practice]

Here is a trio of “Rune-Punk” style characters that use the Runic Magic either upon their bodies, summon creatures or power their Armor.

[Crazy_Weasel]

I have a link to my most recent Archetype, the Anti-Rogue. This was initially a joke that a buddy and I saw, but we made a full-fledged character out of it. Any feedback on how to improve the concept would be appreciated.

Intimidating Stealth

[Brycelor]

That concept is amazing @Crazy_Weasel
It’s a little hard to see mechanically how his intimidation would translate to an increase in his Guard defense, as granted by the Attribute Substitution I feat. Though as for that, I’m not too much of a stickler on the rules, so I’d allow it as a GM for the pure comedy of it!

I think it’d be a fun archetype to play!

[Crazy_Weasel]

The way I thought about it was that He is so scary that the enemy doesn’t want to hit him. IDK, it’s not perfect. Like I said, it started as a joke

Almost the Exact opposite of the Stalwart; I present the Death Knight. He’s mean; He’s strong, and he’s… well you can read the post.

Archetype: Death Knight

[Brycelor]

Check this out guys! We’ve been granted this new awesome archetype from our favorite mustache!
He’s even given us a level-up guide!

Annoying Stealth Sniper

Character Concept for you all, including progression. Archetype: Annoying Stealth Sniper #Sam Crossbolt/Bullet/Laser (depending on setting for last name) Through an odd twist of fate, Sam was cursed with the ability to alter his surroundings. At least that is how his family and community took it. Sam looked at it in another light though, especially when he learned to alter the air and light around him to render him virtually invisible. He never had the opportunity to train under anyone and is…

II discussed this archetype in the discord and they said I should post it here…so I decided to do just that. Sheet link will come later.

##Necromancer - Level 1

The most feared and hated of all spellcasters, Necromancers use dark magic to command the power of death and violate the minds of the living. While physically weak themselves, Necromancers compensate for their frailty with commanding personalities and the power to raise undead minions. While most necromancers are unrepentant villains who seek absolute power, there are many reasons why one may take up the dark arts. Thus, a Necromancer could just as easily be a tortured antihero who turns evil’s tools against it, or a curious scholar unconcerned with the morality of their magic.
