'''[[Apex (3.5e Class)|Apex]]:''' The first few levels the apex specializes in the natural extraordinary features of a [[SRD:Druid|druid]], gaining an animal companion, natural skill bonuses, senses, wild empathy, woodland stride, trackless step. But do not gain any spellcasting abilities. At 2nd level, an apex gains a rage (like a [[SRD:Barbarian|barbarian]]), at 11th this rage increases the apex’s size. At 3rd, an apex gains a single powerful animal form, which most other features advance with. A later levels, an apex gains more forms.

All classes that were made with synergized elements of other classes.

Classes

The Balanced Wealth variant rule was used for all the below numbers. With the assumption that the primary ability score starts at 16, and a racial bonus of +2. AC is calculated as ECL*1.5+10.

SEE HIDDEN MATH!

Apex: The first few levels the apex specializes in the natural extraordinary features of a druid, gaining an animal companion, natural skill bonuses, senses, wild empathy, woodland stride, trackless step. But do not gain any spellcasting abilities. At 2nd level, an apex gains a rage (like a barbarian), at 11th this rage increases the apex’s size. At 3rd, an apex gains a single powerful animal form, which most other features advance with. A later levels, an apex gains more forms.

Synergy: Standard action to turn into a beast, then no action to rage (except hulking rage).

  • At 5th: Total modifier changes: +8Str, +8Con, +2Will, –2AC. Total DPR vs. 18AC 26.73
  • At 10th: Primal form increases one size, total modifier changes: +12Str, +10Con, -2Dex, +2Will, –2AC, enlarged size. Total DPR vs. 25AC 34.2
  • At 20th: Full-round action for hulking rage, which increases size by one; total modifier changes: +18Str, +10Con, -2Dex, +3Will, –2AC. The hulking rage causes 1 point Constitution burn every 2 rounds. Total DPR vs. 40AC 67.85

Force Conduit(Sith/Jedi): A force conduit is a monk with a lightsaber and minor power progression, like a psychic warrior.

Synergy:

  • At 5th: With a manifestation of metaphysical weapon +1 (7pp; quickened). Total DPR vs. 18AC 26.1
  • At 10th: With a manifestation of metaphysical weapon +2 (11pp; quickened). Total DPR vs. 25AC 54.6
  • At 20th: With a manifestation of metaphysical weapon +4 (19pp; quickened). Total DPR vs. 40AC 220.68

Psychic Stalker: Synergizes psion and rogue.

Synergy: All require one round to prepare by manifesting powers (assumed manifest blade was cast at beginning of day), thus multiply DPR by two to find damage in final round.

  • At 5th: With manifest blade (5pp, +2; greater magic weapon, enhancement), metaphysical weapon (5pp, +2), and Pyrokinetic Strike (5pp, +10). Total DPR vs. 18AC 18.38
  • At 10th: With manifest blade (8pp, +4; greater magic weapon, enhancement), metaphysical weapon (9pp, +3), and Pyrokinetic Strike (10pp, +20). Total DPR vs. 25AC 65.18
