Allomancer (4e Class)

This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Implies that metal is a limited resource that is "burned" to drive the class features, but I can't see any explanation for this. If it's unrestricted, this makes Burn Metal too versatile. Hidden Mind has no duration? Same with Mental Health, and this provides a THP boost in excess for what is appropriate for a striker or controller. Hidden Mind and a lot of the spells have "burn metal" as a requirement - how is this handled? Does the player need to use a Minor Action to burn metal and then immediately use the Standard Action for the power, or can they perform another action in between? If Burn Metal is used this way, it says you don't get any bonus from the power, so what's the point other than to waste a minor? "you only do what this at-will says if the move does not require a metal." - what Move, the spells are all Standard actions? Confusing.

One is only an allomancer when one has seen the face of death and rejected it.

Allomancers are steathy warriors. They where little armor or metal on there person, and laugh at those that do. They are secretive, staying close to the mists, which react oddly to allomancy, and blend in with mistcloaks. This earned them there nickname "Mistborn", or the lesser powerful "Misting". Allomancy is a latent power that is only discovered if the future-allomancer has a near death experience. They then Snap and become an allomancer. Allomancy is an odd form of arcana, as it takes the arcane energy from ingested metals and shapes it to take effect in this world. Each metal has a different effect. There are eight basic metals and sixteen total(2 are undiscovered). This is based off of Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn Trilogy (this class, paragon paths, and epic destinies on this page may have spoilers)

Allomancer Overview

Characteristics: Allomancers can be tricky. They manipulate peoples thoughts and emotions, which included with their great strength makes them tough to beat.

Religion: Allomancers are often unaligned. They usually worship Kelsier the Survivor of Hathin, the Lord Ruler,or the Hero of Ages. If Allomancers become very violent or evil they may follow Ruin, the God of Destruction. If they stay good then Preservation, the God of Creation. They can stay unaligned throughout their whole lives though. Allomancy can evolve into other forms of magic, evil characters fall into Ruin's traps and become Hermalurgists, good characters stay on the path of Allomancy, or if you stay balanced you can become a Feruchemist.

Races: Any race can become an Allomancer but it is more common in an are where there is an abundance of metal such as; caves, mines, urban areas. Some more common races are Drow, Elves, Gnomes, and Dwarves.

[edit] Creating a Allomancer

An allomancer' s key abilities are Dexterity, Charisma, and Wisdom. They can be balanced in these three stats. Allomancers need a little strength for a weapon, but their lowest ability should be constitution. They are lithe, and slender using their metals instead of physical strength. All feat and power information can be found on this site or in handbook 3(pg178).

To blend in with mist, Allomancers often wear a Mistcloak.Allomancers rarely carry metal, so their weapons are usually made from obsidian or glass. The only metal on their person is a bag of metal coins that can be shot at people and used as a distraction. If an Allomancer decides to take a risk he/she may have piercings of different metal or carry rings and other jewelry.

[edit] Mistborn

Tactics: You control the battlefield and you are the battlefield. You focus attacks on one enemy at a time and you use your allomancy to force other enemies onto your allies. You depend on your metals as much as you depend on your own cunning and if you're in a pinch then you leap away and either heal or fight someone else. You don't have to necessarily enjoy fighting and killing but for your goals you have to. You want Dexterity and Charisma to be your highest, and just in case a little Strength for tactical maneuvers.

Suggested Feat: Blend into Shadows (Human Feat: Gnome Lineage)

Suggested Skills: Bluff, Intimidate, Endurance, Thievery

Suggested At-Will Powers:

Suggested Encounter Power:

Suggested Daily Power:

[edit] Allomacer Class Features

Many Allomancer spells will have as a requirement "Consume Metals At-Will" this means that you must use this free action to use that spell. It will say which metal you have to use. You can burn more than one metal at a time but can't use combined effect of the metals until level
