Way of the Sniper Gunslinger's a good class, mate.
Day 14 of Inventor Slander
It's just a bit of a flavour-mismatch to me that the 'impossible' suit of armor has no interaction specifically with shields (no shield feats or bonuses like Thamaturge's Shield Implement) yet relies on them to tank.
if we can slander classes i can slander class archetypes
2E Bloodrager makes me sad looking at it every time, such a disappointment for such a phenomenally good idea, deserved its own class and got done so dirty
Truly one of my favorite things abt the system
Meme I made to send to my group but figured I'd post here to dilute the inventor wars

How I feel reading Inventor
I don't even think I hate Inventor as this point, I'm genuinely just confused with this class's design. For instance:
- Why is Overdrive Ally so much worse than Share Rage? Isn't getting to add your full INT modifier if you're in Critical Overdrive balanced out by the randomness involved in getting Critical Overdrive in the first place? Does Overdrive Ally giving one more damage at 20th Level enough to warrant it having a 10th of Share Rage's duration? Sure you can use it multiple times but Inventor doesn't have much, if any, action compression unless you're a Construct Inventor.
- Disruptive Stance gets Distracting Explosion's Unstable effect just for being in the stance. Is Unstable equivalent to one Fighter stance? A 10 minute cooldown? Why is Unstable so inconsistent in its power?
- Lack of gun support despite being in Guns & Gears
- Oil Fire. Why would you use Oil Fire over Explode. I don't even like Explode that much but goodness gracious the difference in damage. Oil Fire may be one action but it requires setup with a grab that it cancels if the target succeeds their Reflex save.
- Why is there a Crafting check on all of its class features. I understand Inventor is the tinkerer, 'crafter' class, but why does the day of downtime retrain also require a Hard Crafting check, it's feels like they slapped on a check for the sake of it.
I understand the level of power pre-remaster was less than it is now, but that just goes back to the remaster not doing enough for Inventor.
I should also clarify that I don't think anyone who likes Inventor is 'wrong'. What someone finds fun depends on the person. You can not have fun with a mechanically good class, and you can have fun with a mechanically bad class.
I just do not like the way Inventor was designed.
Flurry ranger with a bow is a very interesting build with mechanically complex choices
Nice counteract rolls nerd now check THIS out
I know there are other criticisms, but I've seen a lot of people acting like "it doesn't do as much damage as the Big Damage Kill Em All class" is enough to make it bad *on its own*
Slander: It's strength is its flavor and theme
