Balance Point

Polymorph, Animate Dead, Baleful Polymorph, Bestow Curse, Web, and Major Creation (and minor at that) aren't really rogue-level abilities. --Ghostwheel 03:30, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to change the balance point. I was basically guessing.--Ideasmith 04:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Getting them late sure makes it less than wizard.  :P This class doesn't keep up. Also, boring class is boring. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 10:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

This is class is the perfect example of the problem I have with our balance points. It can't be VH because it spell progression make it useless in a H game, it can't be H because it gain spells that supposedly make it VH (I disagree). It seem H to me, a very sucky H class with abilities that are not too appropriated for H games. --Leziad (talk) 00:03, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Incomplete Template

What needs to be added to remove the incomplete template? The class already has "spells known, how they cast, abilities named", and I am not sure what is covered by "etc.".--Ideasmith 04:04, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Armored Mage or Familiar?

You have a name--text mismatch on your class for the featured called armored mage. You give the benefits of a familiar.

Also, if you aren't going to include what they receive in full, this is a wiki, and linking to the pages that include the rules of what they get would be extremely helpful. --Havvy 04:13, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Name--text mismatch fixed.--Ideasmith 04:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Where can I find instructions for creating internal links?--Ideasmith 04:41, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

On a wiki, it's [[Pagename]]. For example, linking to the wizard page would be [[SRD:Wizard]]. --Havvy 04:43, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you. Links to Adept SRD page now included.--Ideasmith 05:13, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Ratings

	Undead Knave opposes this article and rated it 0 of 4.
	This is an incredibly boring class. It gets exactly two class features and neither of them are particularly interesting. It's also had the CO tag for long enough it should probably get deleted.

	Leziad opposes this article and rated it 0 of 4.
	This is a H-class, not a good one mind you. It get many inappropriate spells but get them too late to be VH. What push this rating to an oppose is the dreadful lack of class features.

	ThunderGod Cid opposes this article and rated it 0 of 4.
	Gestalting the five NPC classes comes up with...an adept with full BAB. That's not a Very High level class; hell, it's probably not even worthy of being a PC class. Dead levels all over the place = wack. EDIT: Ghosty points out correctly that it can be VH-level simply by virtue of having access to VH spells. But it does not change any of my other complaints or my rating.

	Foxwarrior opposes this article and rated it 0 of 4.
	This class is way too underpowered to be Very High balance. If that is the balance point it will keep, it doesn't deserve to exist. It's also unexciting.

	Havvy opposes this article and rated it 0 of 4.
	While the concept of combining the NPC classes might be interesting, it is sparse with class features and otherwise uninteresting disassociated from its method of creation.

It looks like the balance pigeonhole and dead level issues are red herrings, and the hate is there for the same reason this isn't on my user page. (While I've seen boring used to mean 'not interesting to my gaming group', that does not seem to be what's happening here.) I don't care about this class, and won't bother to defend it.--Ideasmith (talk) 20:31, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
