Talk:Thundersmith (3.5e Prestige Class)

My views

Hey there Eromythic, hope you're well. Soo I took a look at the class, very nicely done, simple but it fits very well into the theme you have with the Forgefire/Forgefire Adept. I've some minor points to make:

-The Thunderblows ability seems quite potent (two different modifiers, on top of possibly a Strength bonus with the forgehammer adept if it uses a weapon). Maybe it could use only one (either the mental attribute or Con)? I mean, even flavorwise, it doesn't seem to be all justified to me.

-Resistance to energy is nice but I'd raise it up to 10 at the 5th level.

-Lightning Forge is great, I like it very much.

These remarks are for the for the alternate versions as well. --The bluez in the dungeon (talk) 18:00, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hey!! I am well indeed. Happy to hear from you again. Very good remarks. I'll dial the Thunderblows down. Upping the resistance would be at odds with the current "Fueled by Lightning" feature I feel, but at the same time I don't really like how that one turned out so I'll keep in mind the change as I think about how to rewrite that one. Glad you liked the Lightning Forge!!. --Eromythic (talk) 13:31, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Oh I didn't thinkk about the sinergy between energy resistance and Fueled by Lightning, but you are right. Maybe if you want to change it you could consider a variant of Energy Absorption? --The bluez in the dungeon (talk) 13:41, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Yes, that "hidden synergy" wasn't really a good thing. I've changed it into hopefully something simpler, but I'll keep thinking about that part for the time being. Healing doesn't sound too interesting to me, so I wanted to try and think something else that works before going for that.--Eromythic (talk) 14:48, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
