Another great vid. Love how they did Psychic powers, makes it feel different and not just another form of spells. Gotta add this as well, Psychic Shield if AFTER the enemy rolls. So you know if performing the power will actually matter and thus don't waste the MP.

Fun fact with Counterattack, you are actually statistically more likely to trigger it than not. Lowest possible roll is always 2 rather than 1, so there's more even numbered options than odd.

Thanks for this idea! I was looking into making a house or clan of poison users and this helps

It all seems very symbolic to me.

To help out on the “borne by themselves” thing, the book is using borne in the meaning of ‘carried’. ‘Applied to’ would probably be a better phrasing. Also, to make a case for the symbol of creation, it works best in a party that either relies on item healing (remedies and elixirs both cost 3 IP) or that has a Tinkerer. Several of the Tinkerer’s abilities cost more than 2 IP, so this symbol lets them use their abilities more. An alchemist would normally spend 4 IP on their 3d20 potions, so this makes those half price. Honestly I think alchemy Tinkerers should take a level in this class specifically for this symbol because I believe Deep Pockets would apply. Spend 1 IP out of combat to apply the symbol to themselves, then they use it to produce a 4d20 potion. A 5 IP item for 1 IP, once EVERY conflict? That’s crazy good.

Not the best starring class

I'm gonna play my first session today, with my Guardian/Darkblade char. I cannot wait! <3 Thanks for the guide!

I absolutely love my group's Guardian character, who synergizes Protect with Weaponmaster's Counterattack to intercept and punish enemies. She also sometimes stacks on Bonecrusher to pop Status on those enemies, which helps out our Rogue (via Cheap Shot).

Alternatively, instead of swapping to a pistol and a shield, you could eventually take rogue levels in dodge, never touch a shield, and be just fine

Thanks for the video! One of my players did a swashbuckler pirate with dancer, weaponmaster, and entropist - it was fun to see!

The Equipment action for Quick-Change is switching equipped items, not the Inventory action for elixirs, remedies, and such. It's to let the Dancer easily switch between weapon sets during a conflict.

This video makes me feel like dancin’! 🕺

Liking the videos a lot. But I kinda having a hard time hearing your voice LOL, would appreciate a lot if you could crank up the audio a bit. As I see that you have some experience in fabula building, can you make a video about villain building and if I would like to make a bit harder to the party how I could do it? Last time I was trying stuff the villain just turned out as damage sponge.

I do have a soft spot for support classes, double so for risk/reward stuff like this one. Shutting everyone down at just the right moment in a fight, where the group comes out ahead, is an epic feeling.🎉

Please don't get me wrong, I enjoy your content and look forward to new videos. Have you played the game much yet? My impression of reading it for the past several months and being the GM for a few sessions is that it very strongly emulates JRPGs, by design. That includes the idea that heroes do not stand alone, and the great things they accomplish are only done with others. Party synergy of abilities is where it's at, unlike other tabletop games where the puzzle to figure out is how to assemble optimal pieces to be individually powerful. That reality greatly affects whether a class is seen as "good" or "bad" when character concepting.

Another good video. The chanter does feel like some of its abilities needed a bit more playtesting

My character that im currently playing started with an arcanum but cant use it. My character views it as a normal book, but once my character gets to the point of being able to take a class in Arcanist, he will be revealing to the party that the book is an arcanum.

Could make a build with the Heavy axe called Heavy Metal

Yeaaaa.. been curious when you were gonna roll out the HF breakdown

I would start with 2 runic shields and bronze plate armor. You lose 1 physical defense but gain 4 magic defense.

Nitpick on the bronze armor. It's a Martial Armor, and the Weaponmaster allows only Martial Weapons & Shields(aka Runic Shield)

Fun video, neat and informative.

Love this build, excited to see the upcoming boss videos. Much like the Song aggro sponge this inspired me in a build, "The Carrion Archer" it's essentially the same thing just replacing the Darkblade with Sharpshooter

Yes boss builds!

This wasn’t the character build we needed, but the one we deserved. Also, looking forward to boss creation!

Great idea!

I'm surprised you didn't take a level in Fury for the Provoke Skill. When we all think tank, sure it's high defense & high health, but they also have a taunt, so you'd think Provoke is a no-brainer, but to each their own.

Another great video! Definitely going help me plan out my rogue/wayfarer/merchant's later levels! Looking forward to the other Atlas' class features!

I love that you’re testing new types of videos like this. This was great, thought-provoking materiel. My opinion, you should do this for all Atlas classes then go back and do another tier list for how well each class works by itself. This would be a great contrast and create the full picture of each class. Keep up the great work!

Great video

It sounds so underwhelming, I wanted a little construct for my Exoskeleton fighter, but this class sounds like wasting an entire level for flavor only lol

I just made something like this myself, but I used the new Mutant class it even has a great Heroic Skill with Chimerist to steal forms.

If you can’t beat ‘em, mimic ‘em. Then beat ‘em!

This combination of classes and abilities has given me what I needed to create a major villain for my campaign. I have a clear vision of how I'm going to draw the character to show my players (I'm not just running the campaign, I'm also illustrating it all myself).

Would you ever be up for taking RPG characters from games and other media and making builds based on them? :)

Happy to find a Fabula Ultimate focused channel! The game is absolutely fantastic I can’t wait for it to grow

Could go with Fury and Enrage your enemies too

Oooh Weaponmaster. Funnily my GM always call this class as the "Edgy-in-making" because the other players in my table, would always goes for the edgy content when they choose this class lol

Another great video ❤ I'd say that the advantage of the various feats that give you more attacks or similar, like Triple Slash, depends on your items. If you have three seperate swords with good abilities on hit then suddenly it is more useful than a little bit more damage. But that makes them even more harder to recommend, as it will depend on your story and what you currently have.

As much as I love this game, this video is a good resource to show the difficulty that comes when designing feat-based systems like this. You essentially only have two tiers of skills, the class skills and heroic skills. This means that you have to design every skill at the class level to be equally viable, and then the same with every skill at the heroic level. Essentially, you can’t have a bunch of combat-focused skills at the same tier, but design one of them to be a flat damage boost if nothing else can match the utility of that. I’m not saying this to put down the designers. This process is difficult and even the mainstream games with whole design teams haven’t completely resolved it.

1st! Also .. been waiting for this since watching the prior Will you make a separate series for the atlas n extra content?

One of the things I've cooked up with this is Guardian 2, Chimerist 2, wayfinder 1. Companion - Beast getting Lick Wounds, Shell and Rage. Using Chimerist to copy the companions spells mimicing the beast. 5 MP 20hp heal, 3 character provoke and increasing defense.

So I was just wondering about something, if you have levels in chimerist, can you learn your companion's spells if they are an animal?

Congrats on hitting over 100 subs!

I need to go back and like all these videos xD this has been great for getting acquainted with the classes

I agree that the Companion should have skills and such and this is actually confirmed in the official FAQ. The text says to build one as per the NPC rules, so you just follow those 8 steps including skills and such. The rest of it is just restrictions to balance things. Oh and of course everything should be agreed between you and the group. (Basic attacks are defined in step 5 of the creation flow chart. It says an NPC can have any number of Basic Attacks, so that must be why they specified only 2 max to stop them having something for every occasion.) Another great video. Thank you for continuing to make these ❤

Such a cool concept, really captured the toddler smashing toys together getting to robot dinosaur surfing while a heavy metal soundtrack plays factor you sometimes see in jrpgs. Thanks for sharing. FYI, whatever you’ve done with your audio is working. I found your channel recently, and every time I watch one of your oldest videos, if I don’t remember to turn my volume back down, the next thing I play is super loud. Your more recent videos have gotten the volume equalization right.

I love how, even though this is Techno Fantasy, these classes are still versatile enough to be flavored for other genres as well. Pilots could be knights on horseback, or controlling the body of a golem. Mutants could be lycanthropes, or the result of a mad mage’s experiment. There are also plenty of GMs happy to allow psychic powers (Esper) into a high fantasy or natural fantasy world. I’m not one of them, but they’re out there 😅.
