I was bored the other day and so I threw together a class. I'm wondering if I imbalanced it, and I think the concept needs work. Just want to hear everyone's opinion. The class is roughly based on the warlock, but it's supposed to be a 'plain hopping' class. I haven't read the planar handbook very much.
The Glass CannonSkills: Concentration, Craft, Knowledge (Arcana, planes, dungeoneering), profession, Spellcraft, Use Magical Device.
Skills at first (4+int) x 4. Skills at each additional level: 4+int.
Hit Dice: D6
Class Features:
Armor and Weapon Proficiencies: Glass Cannons are proficient with light armor and simple weapons, but not with shields.
Armored caster: Because of their extensive training in only one ability, glass cannons do not suffer from arcane spell failure while using cannon blast.
Cannon blast (su)Body of Glass:Cannon shape
Prismatica blast: At the indicated level, a glass cannon can change their blast into one of the following energy types. A prismatica blast can be shaped as a single cannon shape listed above. A prismatica blast does not do untyped magic damage as a normal cannon blast, but rather does energy damage with the following modifications.
Fire: 5th level, fire blasts do an additional 1 damage per dice.
Cold: 8th level, when a save is made for half damage from a cold blast, it is a fortitude save
Acid: 11th level
Sonic: 15th level, sonic blasts do full damage to objects and +50% damage to crystalline creatures.
Force: 20th level, force blasts ignore incorporeal miss chance.
Planar Immunities: At 9th level, the glass cannon can cast avoid planar effects (SpC 19) at will as a spell like ability.
Planeshift: at 10th level, the glass cannon can cast planeshift as a spell-like ability 2/day. At 16th level the glass cannon can cast it 4/day. Her caster level for this ability is equal to her character level.
