I'll just make a new one from scratch and use that one.

[Philote]

Why don't you drop the chaos part, that is the part that is unfocusing your class, and just do a normal magical minstrel.

[Mik_Hael]

The chaos part is the point of the whole class.

[Zaleramancer]

Well, the skills only bother me because they're rather general in what they can do.

To repeat myself, look at the Bard class I made. Most of the abilities are rather specific in what they do.

[Philote]

Yeah, but it really isn't helping you with the class making. Anything could be defined with chaos, which is why you have things like Illusions, Shapeshift of yourself and others, and teleporting. All of which could be their own classes unto themselves.

[Mik_Hael]

Working on differnt class that I will be using instead.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Anyone have any good suggestion for skills I could add to my spellsword. I'm having a mental block.

[Zaleramancer]

Spell Deflecting Sword?

[Mik_Hael]

Ghost blades. as in summoning astral swords to aid in combat.

[Mik_Hael]

Living blade: allows ones blade to devour material in rder to better itself, and increase attack power.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Oh, I like that one.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Is the character I made for this alright as it is? The post was a few pages back.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I already have a skill like that.

[Zaleramancer]

Sorry, Jester.

[Philote]

For a high level skill, maybe one that lets you absorb a spell and enchant your blade with it?

[Zaleramancer]

It is perfectly fine.

[Marvelous Miscreant]

Alright, here's the rough cut of my updated skill list. What needs work? What needs to be moved?

[Philote]

Between level 3 and level 12 you don't have attack abilities.

I still think Levels 5,6, and 7 could be combined.

level 12 could just be elemental blade, unless you want to just focus on the three elements.

[Philote]

I think it is starting to look better.

What are you going for? Warrior type of class?
