Re: Treasure Hunter Class

Cool class, sounds fun. My only criticism that has not already been put down is the level progression is the same as a fighter. seems it should be at least a bit slower for gaining all of those extra skills.


Has anyone seen one? Has anyone seen one in a hundred years??

Thanks for the feedback!  I definitely struggled with the level progression.  In the end I decided the extra skills were cancelled out by what gets taken away from the Fighter : hit die d8 vs. d10, Weapon Mastery 1 weapon vs. 2, no Grand Mastery, no Heroic Fighting and some weapon and armor restrictions.  But yes, I could just as easily have gone with level 1 being 0-2,249 XP.

Agreed, tit for tat. The Fighter XP tract works for me.

My guy just ditched the Any Favored weapons for  Whip, Bola, Blowgun, Boomerang, & of course Radium Pistol! Giving him a play test run this weekend.

Haha, awesome!  Look forward to hearing how it goes!  Don’t be afraid to be critical.  I’m happy to tweak where warranted.
