Spellsword Update Question

Post by Orian_666 » Thu Dec 14, 2017 11:40 pm

To start, I think this is a good update, they should be a 3/4BAB class.

My question though is about this part "Existing spellswords will retain their 4th attack from Spellsword 22."
Does that mean only Spellswords level 22 and above, or Spellswords made /before/ this update, even if they aren't 22 yet?

That is my question too since my existing spellsword still has a little ways to go before getting level 22 and would never get 4 APR without the artificial bump.

The latter, new if you made a spellsword before the update you get the 4th attack at 22. (Legacy/grandfathered spellsword if you will)

I'd like to tack on another question here, actually.

This is what I have mathed out with the changes in mind:

My current spellsword is 24, and was 17/3 pre-epic. Does this mean I will be losing 1 AB upon next reset?

If your spellsword was made before the update this update doesn’t effect your spellsword.

Only new ones.

Coming soon to an Arelith server near you
Meaning the next restart?
Spellswords should work as a normal 3/4 BAB class (for APR and AB calculations) and should be monk compatible.
On a new character, Will it show in the character sheet, and be a part of the base BAB just like a 3/4 cleric?

Do spellswords still get the scaling AB bonus?

Obviously not them becoming 3/4 AB is exactly that bonus AB they were receving unless i am mistaken.
