→Becoming an Art Flow User: Grammar check
'''Abilities:''' [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]] is the most important ability for this class, as it governs its [[#Invocations|invocations]]. [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] and [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] are, as always, important for [[Armor Class]] and hit points, respectively, though not as much as you’d expect, given that [[#Regeneration|regeneration]] is one of the Art Flow User's major features (though some of their other functions, like skills, ranged attack rolls, and Reflex/Fortitude saves, could easily make or break Art Flow Users, since their base attack bonus is poor and [[Special:SearchByProperty/Descriptor/Death|instant kills]] have an annoying tendency to bypass regeneration). [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] isn’t very important for the Art Flow User in and of itself, but it does help prospective candidates meet the prerequisites as soon as possible if their base class’s skill points don’t make the cut. [[SRD:Wisdom|Wisdom]] helps with Will saves but is otherwise unimportant, and [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] likewise doesn’t amount to much unless the Art Flow User enjoys creating weapons and then personally using them.
'''Races:''' A sentient being either has the ability to tap into the Art Flow or they don't. Race is mostly irrelevant. Those who become Art Flow Users already had a strong interest (and a great degree of skill and competence) in the arts, so cultural background doesn't matter much; <s>potential</s> Art Flow Users are already a subculture unto themselves. That said, the strengths and weaknesses of each race do mean that some races are a bit more likely to become Art Flow Users or are a bit better at handling the power than others.
'''Alignment:''' Any. The Art Flow is mostly independent from alignment. (Its relationship to the law-chaos axis is rather weird — its raw energy leans towards chaos, as any uncontrolled thing is wont to do, but the act of harnessing the energy and directing it towards an artistic purpose shifts it towards law. In either case, it does not lean enough towards chaos or law to be considered chaotic or lawful in and of itself.)
