This spell generates a smaller, personal, version of a spelljammer Gellar Field, effective within a 10m radius. The caster may spend a resource point to prevent a Peril of the Warp within the field, and all Perils occurring outside the field do not affect those within. Anything with the Daemonic trait within the field is ejected from the field or into the warp at their choice. Daemonhosts lose the power of their sin asset within the field. Spells may not be pushed within the field.

OMG OMG OMG THOSE ARE SO GREAT. I will create separated posts for mine too. But thank you so much for the support.

[Traskus]

You're welcome, dude.

So what classes do you think your own schools go with?

[berserkx33]

Probably a class track similar to magic user, like probably something akin to Engineer [Fixer -> Gadgeteer -> Inventor -> Factorer -> Master Engineer], but an easy start would be to remake Techpriests to have it as a possible thing they can learn.

Some can have easy additions to new class tracks, like, the Off-Road Customizers could be easily a possible thing for Pilots or Mechanics, while the Bio-Engineering-Synthetisers could be a possible field for Medics.

[GuardianTempest]

I find it preferable to slot these in existing classes before trying to make entirely new classes JUST for these. Customizer could use the turret one, for example.

[Traskus]

I recommend against straight-up remake of techpriests including homebrew material. Even the guardsman revision I made was pushing it and that was all core.
You could make specialist classes though.

[berserkx33]

Neat, I will be trying to create new stuff to go with those classes so. But I think the first class will probably be the Engineer Path, and give the Pilot and Medic classes too.

[GuardianTempest]

Technically the Rigger is a vehicle-centric class, and there's already the Chiurgeon for a medic class.

[Traskus]

This was probably the easiest one. The inspirations and references were easy to find, I brainstormed the general mechanics (heh) and niches at work, I put the actual cypher descriptions down in a couple days. The fine-tuning took a few hours.

There was a lot I wanted to include but didn't have room for. I'll spin it off into aspidakinesis... later.

[Traskus]

Changed the entry bonus to be less potent and synergize better with spark.

[Traskus]

Changed field focus.
Flesh is weak and engineer aura now have lower caps.
Refractor field now only lasts 3 rounds.
Unraveling field now has material and focus.
Blind spot has a focus.
