Hey, all!
Wrote up a few new classes; this is the first I'm posting here. This one is called "The Warmage", a master of battle magic and elemental power. In terms of direct damage capacity, it's a better ranged combatant than the ranger, but without the benefits of "Called Shot". They can also function as a decent fighter or wizard as they level up.
They can deal heavy damage at range and even, possibly, in melee, but they're also very vulnerable (with rogue HP and only light armor at first level). It's sort of a "glass cannon" I suppose...
Hopefully people enjoy this or get some use out of it. Feedback is welcome, too!

Reminds me a little of the old Rage Mage builds, minus the Barbarian specific features.

The funny thing is, I actually made a Barbarian compendium class that could easily be mixed in with this (or many other classes!). I haven't posted my CCs yet, but I intend to.
I'm not actually familiar with this "Rage Mage", though!

The rage mage was a prestige class in D&D that could cast spells while wearing light armor and even while raging (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Rage_Mage). They were very much glass cannons that had a very short fuse. Tons of fun to play. The warmage sounds notably more stable.
