The pitch: A pantheon of upstart godlings traveling to a young world to sculpt its fledgling civilizations in their image. Every character would be a dual-class Exemplar. After the campaign wraps up, have those characters form the basis of a world's pantheon in a game later down the line, using the same setting.

@@Shadow-bk1im Sure thing! So, Mythic was a set of supplementary rules to Pathfinder 1st Edition. The idea behind them was that you through some method gained access to Mythic Power, which is a vague term meant to imply a Greater Power of some variety. Be it a spark of divinity, a powerful blessing of the gods, the weight of your destiny becoming so great that it spills over into reality, etc etc etc Whatever it was, it gave you access to the Mythic Paths, a secondary class system that leveled purely off of milestone achievements. These Mythic Paths largely served to enhance your current abilities rather than add onto them directly. Hence the name of the paths themselves in 1e. Archmage, Champion, Guardian, Hierophant, Trickster, and Marshal. However the way that they enhanced your abilities brought your abilities far above what should be capable for your level, for example by Level 5, my Gunslinger Champion could land hits that did triple digit damage, something that would normally place her at Lvl 10+. The Mythic Rules for Pathfinder 2e are coming sometime during Winter 2024.

I am a bit more enthused about Sea's Claim than Nonat1s is. If you stay within 60 feet of your squishy players you suddenly become a great defense for them against melee enemies that get close. For more fun, you can reposition the enemy squishies in front of you, the fighter and rogue on your team to really mess with them. Additionally, nowhere in the the text does it state that the enemy has to be repositioned to a safe spot, meaning that you can also reposition them into environmental hazards. Fighting a bunch of enemies on a bridge over lava? If they aren't immune to the damage, drop them over the sides. Admittedly, it isn't going to be as effective against things with high Fort saves, but if you can take out the enemy ranged attackers, who usually have lower Fort, you can make the overall combat FAR easier. The big thing to remember about the Transcend abilities is that they can only be used ONCE PER ROUND, and that your spark then immediately shifts to a different Ikon. A useful exploit when an immanence isn't useful is to use the Transcend ability, which is almost always useful, and then have the spark switched to an Ikon with a more useful Immanence. This places it above the Shift Immanence action in action economy, unless it is a two action Transcend and you NEED that extra action. As an example: You are fighting a golem and you have your body Ikon Gaze Sharp as Steel imbued. Ranged defense is not your biggest priority, doing damage is. Use the Transcend - A Moment Unending to get a Reactive Strike and switch the spark to your war hammer with the weapon Ikon Titan's Breaker and get immediate access to its immanence which can be used with that Reactive Strike to hit the golem if it makes a triggering action. If it is actually one of those clockwork entities sanctified with Holy, Vow of Mortal Defiance would not go wrong here either. Just a few of my observations.

Damn I literally couldnt even hear the fan once you turned it on. You could have had it on the whole time and I would have had no idea lmao.

I like how there is a reoccuring mechanical motif where Exemplars’ abilities just happen with no save, it reflects their whole thing of divine authority.

1. Light Armor is not a problem. The character could start with Str 18 and Dex 16 to get baseline AC right away. Or, it's better to start with Dex 14, suffer with AC 1 point lower than baseline till level 5 and get all the good then. It doesn't decrease survivability and you don't have to be Dex-based 2. Gleaming Blade is like Double Slice, but unlike Double Slice you could use it with 2-handed sword

I kind of wish they only got simple weapons, not for any mechanical reasons but the flavor of being a monster with a club or a sling or something seems very on theme to me

Reap the Field with Investigator dedication with Stratagem on the second target. It is no longer a gamble, just have to start next to the first target for action econ.

So regardless of how many actions a Transcendence action takes you can Spark Transcendence only once per round. The healing abilities can still be really good though. Very well done video otherwise.

Yeah. Exemplar looks like they will play in this absolutely bonkers style of performing ridiculously awesome feats of badass nonsense, maybe slightly undercut by moments of embarrassment when things don't go to plan. Like imagine reap the field attack missing as you go for the Mook. The boss laughs at the failure while you try desperately hard to salvage the situation and still look cool.

IVE BEEN SO EXCITED FOR THIS CLASS! I’ve already made a PC for this playtest, a seamster imbued with a divine need for perfection! Since they’re a seamster, they use shears, which are improved since they’re simple weapons, and use that awesome Twin Star feat to have dual shears.

Not sure if you have noise cancelation VST, but that may help you stay cool. Also, mirroring your camera so all the books are written the "correct" way may be an option. It is very distracting. ;-) Love your vids though!

that water splash effect is a LOT like one of the abilities in PF1 kineticist, which was an Air AoE burst centered on yourself. And it hit EVERYTHING in that burst. You. Your allies. Your enemies. THE EQUIPMENT OF EVERYONE, RISKING BREAKING IT It was SO bad, that *every tier list* would outright go "never take this. NEVER"

The Exemplar seems interesting. I think what would be really fun, and a way to avoid the 'divine spark main character syndrome' that could be possible with certain players.... is a party of just exemplars. also, the initial mishear/misread that I had for the skybearer's belt woulda been fun/funny. I misheard and quickly misread it as the other way around. so your allies but not you being able to use those actions on two sizes larger than you. Now THAT'D be fun. Especially if ally was playing a tiny lineage, and you were playing a lineage that got perma-enlarged. tiny little doll/sprite wrestling down a titanic-sized (in comparison) dragon.

"The divine peach flavor is divine" the irony of this while he's reading the class explicitly using Sun Wukong as an inspiration is hilarious

i feel like someone could really abuse this class if they dedicated themselves to it, but tbh that could be said of a lot of other classes too, and the flavour of this class is so good

This is essentially a demigod, I know what he said but I call cap because this one is built for demigod characters. This whole thing can be used to build trickster demigods, royal demigods, barbarian hero demigods. This is the demigod class.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but the earthbreaker combined with the titan's breaker can really break down some walls due to razing adding even more damage against objects

I like the flavor of Exemplar for the most part but the epithets are a bit to specific, especially the weapon and worn epithets. Not really any of the weapon epithets fit a character I think would do really well with the ikon mechanic of the Exemplar. Hopefully they add more.

i think it might be the coolest class of them all.

Exemplar sounds like a good class for characters to have as an archetype.

Nice rundown, would be a fun class to give a try. And I like the haircut, it really suits you.

The water one is great for caster heavy parties as you can pull enemies into field effects and away from allies forcing a move

This dude goes hard. I want to make a campaign where the party gets to team up with an NPC of this class

Real quick: the goal with Gaze Sharp As Steel is that you'd have the Body Ikon against a ranged foe, and once you got within melee of that ranged foe, you'd transcend to your Weapon Ikon, forcing them to Step or incur Reactive Strikes. It's synergistic in the sense that it is procedural. Basically, Gaze is for fighting AGAINST a ranged target - the bonus to Perception helps with Seek checks to break a foe's Hidden condition.

LET'S GOOOOO FINALLY A CLASS WHO CAN MAKE SICKLES VIABLE

One Moment till Glory seems like it would also allow a new saving throw on things like critically failed Feeblemind or Dominate, which is crazy good.

Honestly: exemplar is a class that just by itself sold me the idea of playing PF2 because it just seemed so interesting and fun that I want to try that. I like playing technical dps characters with lot of flair, and that the class seems like it has. I also prefer light armour characters.

Something I want to point out, both the Examplar and the Animist are to be introduced in the book introducing the Mythic ruleset and we don't know how those rules will interact with the classes, or how much more challenging Mythic tier encounters will be. Personaly, as good as these classes are, they currently don't quite feel 'Mythic' to me yet. Now the Duel-Class rule set as standard, combinded with taking the Examplar or Animist might change that. Or maybe I'm not great at judging class power, who knows?

Peerless Under Heaven has a lot of problems. 1. It doesn't get the skill feat/bonus effect. If you want to say you get more variety with damage type the option to choose damage type only applies to 3 abilities, all of which are level 15 or higher. I guess you do get more variety if you use a versatile weapon, but only in that case. 2. Critical Specialization is weaker than the other immanences. 3. Reap the Field is mathematically worse than just attacking twice. Nothing in the text clearly suggests that the two attacks do anything other than their normal damage. Transcending for a half action that hurts your accuracy is a bad idea. Easily fixed by making it actually double or nothing (something like combining the attacks' damage and sound it to both targets, or even saying that if one crits and both hit they both crit).

I can't speak to much to balance but I have a have few 1e characters who my gm has advised that if we were going to switch to 2e, this would be one of their better fits. Cleric/Paladin, Monk/Druid and Brawler/Samurai for the three 1e characters that might fit. I just love these folk hero inspired characters, I'm currently building a Exemplar with free archetype Gunslinger for their west marches 2e game and I'm extremely excited.

Gaze Sharp As Steel: I think the idea is for the Exemplar to fight in melee and (hopefully) avoid ranged attacks beyond the melee. Transcend it when there's no longer a ranged threat, and get reactive strike. Could also be for approaching and locking down ranged foes.

You say Gaze as Sharp as Steel is really good for a ranged character, but nothing really in the Ikon shows that its specifically for a ranged character.

I'm having some difficulty finding a decent archetype for my fire/earth kineticist. Exemplar might be it.

Judment from clear skies (lightning transcend) let you throw an melee weapon that isn't a thrown weapon? It says your first range or 30ft, if range is 0...

About using your 'super power' every turn: Can't you just transfer the power to the weapon Ikon, use the special ability (moving it back to where it came from) and rinse & repeat that every round? Sure, that uses two actions in total, but since you're using a special attack that is probably worth moren than just attacking twice. In my mind, this is would let you do massive damage every turn, and help you ending your turn with utility or defensive passive to boot. Or (assuming you start with your weapon ikon active: Use the attack, and in the 2nd action activate the weapon icon again to be ready for next turn). I'm not seeing the downside there, assuming the attack is strong enough. And that still leaves you an action to do that second attack if you need it. What am I missing?

@allenbroussard1451

10 ай бұрын

Its an action tax for more consistant damage but lower total damage. You can do it if thats what your going for yes. Just like thaumaturge and intensify vunerability.

While Reap the Field is very flavorful it is actually really bad. The only benefit over just using two actions to attack twice is the half Stride and that the second attack doesn't have an increased MAP yet. Which yes having a second attack without an increase in MAP is nice other feats you can get through multiclass archetypes are just as good or better, but also Reap has the drawback of causing the first attack to deal no damage if the second misses and both attacks have to be at different enemies. On top of all this is the fact that it is also a Transcend ability. Would be okay, but not great, if you didn't have to hit on the second attack for the first attack to deal damage.

Maybe the way to modify reap the field to be better is to make it more than 2 targets.

That could really make reap the field something special when all goes your way. High level max success reap the fields turning armies of mooks into wheat before your blade.

Pathfinder newb here too, (beginner box first time planned for tomorrow actually! :D) but... I don't think so... for multiple reasons. 1. it specifies foe. creatures in your captivity, in such a contained state to not be a threat I doubt could be considred foes. 2... action economy. strike takes an action, the trancendence thing takes an action. I believe taking out the bag of rats would take an action, that you'd need to do first, because trancendence specifies previous action was a successful strike that's all 3 of your actions, leaving it to only work with 1handed weapons. (as I saw on foundry changing a 2handed weapon's grip takes an action) 3, what benefit do you get? the first strike has to hit. the second strike against the rat has to hit... for no benefit; crits are doubled damage, so normal strike would be normal damage, while the critical strike would be the critical damage; not crit damage to both. and then the reverse (rat first then foe)... you'd need to be close enough to stride-strike in the first place, since it only gives you half. So..... one fringe case where 'bag of rats' problem would be applicable I GUESS. foe you're targeting is a stride and a half away from you. ally dropped a considered-foe rat one stride away. you stride towards rat. (1) you attack rat (2) use trancendence. (3) to stride half and strike. but guess what? you could just stride twice then strike for the same effect and no risk of missing the rat. (if even possible to miss at that level; nat 1 total would need to be a crit to be impossible to miss I believe, since nat 1s and 20s make them one degree worse/better respecively ) So unless there's some other 'on strike' effect you need or something like that to necessitate an extra strike, then this feature probably doesn't have the bag of rats problem. even then, it'd be the 'on strike' feature that'd be facing the bag of rats problem more than this.

I don't know if nonat is a good seller or the class is a tad OP

I feel like they sit with Kineticist in terms of power, no resource abilities that are spell like but weaker then spells

I love this class wish they would go a little stronger because it is rare.

this is the strongest level 1 class in the game atm, no questions asked. It might fall off at mid level a bit though.

Titan Breaker would be really strong against Shield Block.

Kaladin Stormblessed kinda sounds like a baller exdmplar to build. What feats to take for some gravity-defying shenanigans?

The one that gives you flight perhaps?

if you take the soulforger archetype and choose armor, at level 8 you get can flight speed with the right essence, its once per day and only for a minute tho, but it can help to get access to flight before being able to get the rune.

this is the earliest ive been in a long time, within the first 300 views lol

Where is Sinclair's Library

Your fan on 1 doesn't carry noise to the mic as far as I could tell at the end of your video.

Healing 1d8 per 2 levels if too powerful, they are a DPS class. They are not a healer. Pathfinder is a teamwork oriented game, not a "lets all roll up self sustaining charters". You see these even with Battle Medicine that you can also use it once pers day per character. This heal should be something they can do once every 10 minutes similar to Champion Lay hands. It should require a focus as it falls out of the DPS that they are designed for.

So what does that mean to Organize play? What does that mean to people coming into the game system and expecting all class to contribute in a unique way and fairly balanced? The strength of 2e has been its balance, you get this and give up that. In my own games of course I would say no, but I don't want to play organize play with a table full of exemplars because they can do it all in combat.@@itsmefirefox

@@jamesmachado7357it’s not really as much of a concern as your making it, exemplar healing is so much lower than something like an oracle or cleric that really it’s more supplemental than anything, it’s more an exchange for lacking medium Armor

​@@Moloch_SCyeah it's just an alternate defense mechanism, and even then it's a pretty iffy one, especially against boss monsters. Higher damage and more crits lead to a lot of burst damage, which has been traditionally the best answer to self healers

its really not. Has no flat bonus to it and the AC will only be at best upper mid tier if you go all defensive ikons. Its strong if your doing an attrition based dungeon crawl as they will always be full hp, but thats honestly not a big deal for more of pf2e.

Boi using the Monster Hunter music goin on

I really really don't like it seems so many effects are cooler or some better for ranged than melee

Yeah the whole "light armor" thing also really doesn't incentivize melee either

The class is very good as a ranged martial that buffs the party yes, but you can also build a very tanky melee with it. if you forgo charisma and focus on the healing abilities, you can get passable AC/damage/health regen all at the same time which makes you good for drawn out combats.

Icons....ikons...mortal combat...mortal kombat?

Jfc this class is for people who want to play like Tales Of series characters

I'm of the opinion that ALL trucks outside your window are garbage. Heh.... heh.

Literally one view when I clicked this video. I am VERY early.

I am truly not loving a whole lot of the revisions they’re cranking out for 2e!
