This character Archetype revolves around the crafting and use of Extraordinary items instead of traditional attacks and banes and Boons.
This is awesome, and one of the best examples Iβve seen of using creation for somethingβs other than a cleric or other divine character. Good job!
Very cool build, however, I did want to point something out to you, and those thinking of using this build.
Craft Extraordinary Items II is something this character will not benefit from, at all. That WL 4 item, he can not build, b/c he does not have WL 4.
Mundane crafting allows you to build something even if you donβt have the WL for it. However, Extraordinary crafting requires you to have the WL to build the item.
This means you can only carft WL 2 items starting out.
Now if you do Craft Extraodinary I + Wealth, then you can craft WL 3 items.
Just wanted to give you and others the heads up on that.
Here is the feat info out of the core rules I am referring to:
Crafting an item still counts as an expenditure of wealth, so you must have a sufficient wealth score to purchase the item
I am aware of how that works. I am just referring to what his skill level allows him to craft. I guess that I should have made that more clear.
#Hydromancer - Level 1
βWater, the vital element. No matter where you are in the world, no matter in what world you are, you can never stray away too far from water. Some take it to themselves to master the ways of the vital liquid and those who unlock its secrets are sometimes rewarded with the ability to control the flow of life itself.β Any Setting.

The term Witch usually comes with negative connotations, but this witch resents this. She hates black magic and all witches associated with it. I present the White WItch.
I like that Hex of Two Left Feet
Yeah, I was looking for some way to explain immobile from alteration with a witch. That sprung to mind.
Because I can, I decided Iβd try and make a Magical Girl. It practically built itself! Here was the resultsβ¦
##Maho-Shojo - Level 1
A young girl with a pure heart, the Maho-Shojo, or Magical Girl, has been gifted with magical abilities to fight against the forces of darkness. Her powers may have been granted by a holy deity, benevolent alien, magical animal or any number of things, but regardless of their origins she must hide them from a world that would not understand them. As a result she leads a dual-life, maintaining her identity as a normal schoolgirl while using her magical starlight wand to transform into her spell-slinging alter-ego when evil forces threaten her friends.

You are a being cursed with a hunger that no amount of food can quench. Your starvation has advantages though, as your body has adapted to allow you to more easily eat and kill anything that crosses your path which you deem acceptable as food.

So Iβve had this character for a while from old RP that I used to do and figured I would translate it into OL, Its core concept is that of a Fire and a Wind Elemental who have been forcefully bound together into a single suit of Heavy Plate armor, I expect it to play very tanky.
Tell me what you think, though the favored actions section was a bit too small for a few of the extras heβs capable of, though Iβm sure this gives the jist of the idea! Also apologies if that was worded incorrectly.
Oh, thatβs a neat concept!
