07/05/19 - Class Changes

• • Updated the Summoner to have 6-level spellcasting, instead of 4-level.

    • The summoner received little interest and felt anemic overall, due to the 3/4 BAB and 4-level spell list.

    • Now, the summoner will have fewer low-level spell slots, but will be able to cast higher-level spells.

    • The Summoner still does not have access to Cantrips.

  • Added features to the Cowboy

    • The Cowboy was originally based off of the Core Ranger. However, with the reduced BAB, the Mounts ability and Lasso Aptitude were inadequate to make up the difference for a martial class, and it was performing poorly.

    • Gave the Cowboy one additional bonus feat at level 1, and added the Gunhand feature. Gunhand grants the cowboy a small grit pool, and access to a few Gunslinger deeds. In exchange, the bonus feats can now only be selected from among Combat, Grit, and Teamwork feats.

    • These changes should make the Cowboy more versatile without being more directly powerful, keeping the utility focus of the class in mind.
