It could use second eyes, especially if you know Pathfinder.

1: You miss spelled Casting.
2: Orisons.
3: Is there an animal Companion.
4: What kind of elements can you wild shape into/ resist, like any that are not your standard elements?
5: What kind of animals can you have?
Why I ask is because I'm looking at my Pathfinder book right now and this is something to think about.

An archetype is a modifier of an existing class. If it's not mentioned, it's unchanged. That answers most of those questions. What elements? Whatever Elemental Body can do. What animals? Whatever a druid normally could get.
4808279
True, but I was asking in the interest of what effected the world and animals, and if what happened also made new elements into existence. That is all it was, just curiosity.
4808282
Just too much of the classics sent out of skew. The world was already a mess of them bumping and jostling and someone went and set off the powder keg. BOOM! went the world.
4808282
Though you bring up a good point. Some new animal companion options may be a grand idea.
4808284
And elemental forms to, like spiritual, mental *you can use the psionics book from 3rd and 3.5 edition for that* and a few more, because a cataclysmic event can cause things like that.
Left my thoughts on the issue I saw.
4808308
Replied!
Unless the other divine spellcasters get worse spells per day, the druid would seem a tad underpowered, I would go with a cleric without thinking and you could just pick a nature based god and role play as a druid pretty much.
Maybe some extra martial prowess/utility would make the archetype feel better. Evasion, increased base attack, some extra feats, pretty much anything. I would not play a full time spell caster with a spell level limit of 6 without some serious compensation (looks like a weaker paladin/explorer)
4808311
Also, dropped this off to a few other folks that get the PF series of my group, hopefully they might offer words or advice in a few hours.
4808322
This is a setting where 7, 8, and 9 level spells can't be cast, if that helps.
4808645
While it does share good bits with alchemist (getting brew potion and being able to make infusions), it does not mention alchemist spells anywhere, does it?
There are no mutagens involved.
I don't understand the rest?
4808669
Maybe I just don't understand the setting it should fit into.
Your archetype technically uses elemental body
1-4 And cannot target others, with a bonus resistance to a chosen element.
I wanted to suggest that you switch spell domains instead of elements, (for more options) but only once per day. The domain would determine the list of creatures you can transform into, as well as the spells you can use.
4808675
It modifies wild shaping. Wild shaping is, by its design, not used on others. How would that work? I think there may be an archetype for that, but this isn't that. This makes it so when you become a tiger, you can be a flaming tiger. Hawk? Why not an ice hawk!?
4808685
I'm trying to find similarities with existing spells and mechancs of the PRD. It's much easier to say that at level 6 your wild shape gets elemental touch and some form of other existing mechanic applied to it rather than writing it from scratch. Just trying to streamline it.
I did understand that you can only cast spells on yourself in this case, but that didn't say anything about not being able to cast anything but wild shape.
4808703
I feel like we're arguing different parts of things.
The altered casting makes their spells come slower and lower level, but they get more slots in the end.
Unhinged shifting only affects wildshaping.
These two have nothing to do with one another.
4808710
Are we arguing? Nope, I don't think so...
You want to make an archetype that focuses exclusively on shapeshifting.
My major problems with it are that the elemental body is a core spell and has no energy associated with it by default,
so you need the resist energy and elemental touch or similar to fix that.
In the description there are the mechanics, but instead of describing the whole thing you could point to it and try to adjust the feats so they won't need to be described in detail.
Also, I think that you put most of it in one single feat at level 1. This puts character development on rails. This needs to be optimized a little, that's all.
Overall looks like what the Shifter was supposed to be, so good job.
Diminished casting is balanced out by superior wildshaping.
I feel like Elemental Survival might be a bit too strong though. The immediate action, plus the minute duration and scaling effect... I'd make it and wild shapes come out of the same pool.
Also think all martial weapon proficiency is a bit too strong, when they also get shields. I'd restrict that to 5-10 specific martial weapons.
4808283 Does this world have a Dark Sun?
4808722
You do realize druids, in core, already get access to turning into elements, yes? They use elemental body to do this, through wildshape.
4808726
It's a world after an apocalypse, close enough?
4808729 Close enough indeed.
4808727
Yes, and now i see that you want to restrict them to the four they know. I'm a fan of the usual keyword-type descriptions. I also expected some play with multiclass synergy at first, with the alchemist feat and weapon proficiency.
4808770
Keyword?
4808776
Yes, keyword. It's less of an RPG thing and more like every other kind of game. Pathfinder descriptions are not big on them. Apply this effect, done. if you don't know what that is, there is the rulebook. Saves a lot of time and effort.
In PF there is the Grapple and Pinned for example.
Keywords became more common in the newer books.
4808797
Those are conditions. A condition for 'I am a fire elemental right now' would be quite odd.
4808804
they can be applied to other things too.
A Versatile weapon in dnd is one or two-handed.
I suggested two spell effects, because they are simple to apply, but yeah, they would work with acid..
4808809
But what does this have to do with this archetype?
4808814
That is subjective. If you make some homebrew rules, you can describe a basic elemental type of creature.
If it's only one character, it shouldn't need an entire ruleset, but can borrow other mechanics.
In MTG there are artifact creatures.
Keywords help reuse rulesets.
In PF they write an entire chapter about it.
So, it will probably work without problem for this one character.
Now for the actual question: are the alchemist skills necessary for the ashen druid?
It stands out.
Is this going to be just one, or an entire set?
Are you trying to put all utility on one archetype?
4808822
I give no alchemist skills. Are you referring to being able to make potions?
4808827
It's like distributing ammo: if everybody uses the same type they can't scavenge enough.
If someone else gets Wasteland Hardened, the druid can focus on potions.
If it would hinder any other, the druid is less reliant on feats.
4808864
They don't need to 'focus' on that. They will get the same number of spells/day whether they use a rifle, pistol, or a handy sword.
4808866
That's not what i meant, lets stop now plz
