Bladebound Magus and Black Blade

[overdark]

Was just wondering when this archetype was going to be finished.

Currently running one and the miscalculated Arcane Pool is kind of a bummer.

Not to nitpick, Hero*Lab is awesome, but it would be nice if it were complete.

Coming soon is all I can give you at this point.

Getting the Bladebound archetype functioning means two other projects that have been on my to-do list for a long time need to be finished first;

The intelligent items rules haven't been updated from the 3.5 version to the Pathfinder version.

Class Abilities (and other abilities) need a way to generate weapons & armor from thin air, or to select an existing weapon on the character, then modify the stats of that weapon (sometimes adding specific abilities, sometimes choosing abilities from a list). I'll be applying this to things like the Paladin's Divine Bond (for weapons in the core rulebook, or armor or shields, depending on what archetype you've taken), the Good domain's Holy Lance ability, the Oracle of Metal's Iron Weapon ability, the Bladebound's Black Blade and the Spellblade's Force Athame, along with quite a number of other abilities I didn't list.

So, I'm afraid that finishing the Bladebound archetype is not a quick project, and I've just had so many other things to do that I haven't had the time to get to this.

Maybe farm it out to one of the expert coders on the forums here?

Trade them upgrades, bags of oats, etc.

With it being such a popular archetype I have seen a lot of folks bring this up, and I'm sure that is going to continue.

From my understanding of what Mathias is saying he is the only one that can do it as it looks to be changes to the Structure files. The community has no access to the Structure files so we can't help here.

Once he made all the "underlying" changes and the new features existed then we could. Of course at that point Mathias could just do it in the time it will take him to explain and give examples to someone else to do.

Ok, I undertstand that it is a unique ability and requires extensive work to implement.

I just wanted to know that it was in fact getting done.

Thanks for the reply, and keep up the awesome work.

I know you have a full plate, but just checking the status for full Bladeboud implementation

Is there any time frame when this archtype will be implemnted?

When changes to the inteligent Magic items are made by mathias are you going to be able to create Inteligent magic item powers in the editor?
