You could have Bronze as a kind of 'Detect magic', while Copper shields people in a small radius from being detected using spells that detect magic. I'm not sure how balanced that would be in the pathfinder rules (I'm a d&d 3.5 player myself).

We considered this, but it didn't seem very balanced, we tried to stay true to the books, and detecting any magic doesn't really make sense. (Flaring steel originally let you affect items of greater weight than you, we scrapped that as it makes no sense from a mistborn standpoint.)

it's more managable in the game economy and not hard at all (1 round=6 seconds)

The downside of this, is it really only applies to combat, where rounds count. When doing normal roleplay (Which much of our campaign is) Burning tin for perception checks, and emotional allomancy for persuasion, it makes much more sense to use real time and not rounds, its easier to convert seconds to rounds, than rounds to seconds IMO. At least for our campaign, other peoples may vary.

We very briefly considered making classes for different Knights Radiant sections, but dismissed the idea because they would either be OP or basically useless, not much of an in between. Balance and leveling would be ridiculously difficult.

Honestly, as a Nalthian fanboy, I'd love to see Awakeners as a class

I feel like the same goes for Awakeners. We decided to make a class based on Corvo from Dishonored. However, I do want to look into making the Soulcaster a class. It would be interesting to make the GM make inanimate objects make a will save.

That works. I've taken the liberty of updating the link in the OP.

Thank you.

I've been playing some Pathfinder lately... but honestly, I don't know the intricaies of the mechanics well enough to comment on it's balanced-ness or not.

(I'd recommend posting the build on the GitP forum, actually. If you aren't a member, I could do it for ya, if that would help?)

I totally advocate making more Sanderson Pathfinder classes, though That's an RPG system I actually use so it'd be nice to play them. 

I posted it to the role playing forum here, but figured the Mistborn forum could also appreciate it. To clarify, this class was cleared by our DM because he had read Mistborn already, and understood the mechanics well enough to base his decisions on his own knowledge, my friend posted it to a pathfinder forum and the responses he got were all confused. (One thinking the character lit metal on fire and inhaled the fumes for magical powers.) So post at your own will, but do link back to here so people can contact me if they have questions/problems with balance or the build itself. Making the class was actually really fun, so if you have any other ideas for classes, I'd love to hear them.

OP has a very very dead link.

That's strange. Try This. It was working after I posted it. 

A friend of mine and I needed to create a new character for our Pathfinder campaign, and we decided on making a Mistborn class, and decided to share it with the forums, he provided the pathfinder knowledge, I helped with most of the Mistborn semantics. You can find it here.

The reason there is no rules for copper/bronze, and other allomancy-based metals, are because we don't plan to encounter any other allomancers in the campaign. The class is meant to be as balanced as any other, unlike many other Mistborn classes we have encountered.

Would melting them together work? Wouldn't certain alloys be created, changing what ability they can steal?

Fatel28, Level 8 enlightened, my entire family plays, including a dad at level 12, sister at 9, mom at 10, and brother at 5 (for now). Good game, does get boring unless you strike up local rivalries..

I'm not a fan of this theory, because it undermines the boon. If that was the case and he couldn't make both sides of him work together, then he would not have the capacity to save the world. But the Nightwatcher always gives you what you ask for, so there shouldn't be any twist like the one you suggest.

But if his boon was intelligence, and his curse being how it fluctuates by the day, wouldn't that also be a twist? If he can ask for extreme intelligence and also get extreme stupidity, can he not ask for intelligence and compassion, but the curse being never at the same time? I feel like this is extremely possible. The Nightwatcher would be giving him exactly what he asked for, just using the boon as a basis for the curse, as the Nightwatcher would have with fluctuating intelligence.. Right?

This was the case for me as well, its a little boring and sometimes its hard to find motivation to read, While reading book two at one point I just.. stopped reading it for a week because it lost its grip on me, but once I started reading it again and finished the trilogy, it was so worth it. Great trilogy. I have yet to read Alloy of law because I'm going to wait for the next books to read in succession.

Seeing as Mistborns seem to be very under-represented here, I think I would also like to point out that Allomancy has much more dynamic and immediate results. Which can prove to be far more useful in many situations.

 

On the other hand, copperminds are a big draw for me. I'm just too much of a nerd not to want them.

Allomancy might have more immediate results and doesn't require you to be weak for an amount of time, but at the same time, when would you realistically need anything more than pewter, tin, and maybe emotional metals? Most metals are either harder and more expensive to get, or just wouldn't be practical for anyone without some form of ultimate motive with the powers. The same could be said for feruchemy, I probably would never use iron, and probably not tin either. But I would use copper like there's no tomorrow, and I would use things like pewter and gold for short bursts of strength and healing that I might need every once and awhile. While allomancy is cooler and has better results, in our day in age, it seems more novelty than practical. Especially financially. Even if you might have to look like a scene kid with all the rings and other metal on your body..

So Hoid is basically a brain in a jar? I don't know what I think about that...

Well I must admit, it is a little jarring to think about.

Feruchemy would be far more practical, only because I'm not really aiming to be a warrior or an assassin. Storing things would be preferable. All it takes is a copper ring for finals...

Shard of social anxiety.

You only get powers if you cant bring yourself to ask for them.
