| Although at first glance this looks like a monk-level class, subjecting it to a brief SGT reveals that it's a solid Wizard-level archer class. Coming to this realization made me cackle madly. The number of things this creature can do with a burrow speed and a pegasus is absolutely wonderful. |
Wizard Level?
I... I'm not seeing it. Are you aware of something I'm not Fox? -- Eiji-kun 07:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- We ran the SGT on it in the chat. It very soundly beat almost everything. --Undead_Knave 08:14, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- But... how? It's a non-touch attack warlock with monk-like features. It doesn't naturally fly or have any unusual immunities. It's features are basically "DR bypassing blast" and "fast". -- Eiji-kun 08:52, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- Also "shoot through walls", "automatically target the square of anything within 10 ft per level as long as you can specify it in some way", "ignore armor bonuses", "ignore incorporeality, damage reduction, hardness, regeneration, etcetera." --Foxwarrior 08:57, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- Don't forget the range and mobility. For teh lulz add in a burrow speed. --Ghostwheel 09:12, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- I accounted for that. It just seems like basing a class around magic missile. You have something really reliable, but not too powerful and, well, very much a one trick pony. I just don't see how he gets around the various problems the SGT has.
- The burrow speed trick is nice, though more of a synergistic benefit, you don't obtain that via class (and burrow speeds are a little hard to come by, it's not a common movement type). I feel I could duplicate everything this class has to offer with a sorcerer with one spell and one feat (Transdimensional spell). -- Eiji-kun 10:03, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- As an aside, there's a very easy way to get a burrow speed - Mineral Warrior template. That said, we went through the cases one by one and the jade archer beat most of them without a problem taking into account level-equivalent equipment and gear. --Ghostwheel 11:05, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
- The automatic x8 crit threats and high magic resist also help. 173.60.88.95 18:16, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
