Goals: Keep the Adept schtick of casting from HP, but make it more in line with the other non-magical classes (Monk, Warrior, Archer), and give more tacitcal options to the Adept player: Should I go slowly and steadly or fast and reckless?

Martial Discipline: Add the following text to the ability: Each time you use a Adept ability, you may lose 10% of your current HP to decrease the Slow (X) value by 1. This can make the ability a Quick action.

Specialties - no change.

Arcane Discipline:

!Elemental Strike - no change.

!Holy Strike/!Shadow Strike is a Slow (3) magical action. Attack with your weapon. Your attack deals 150% weapon damage, Light-elemental/Shadow Elemental
.
this places the Holy/Shadow strikes on par with !Charge

*The change from "prevent damage" to "negate all effects" make it way better against group attacks and status effect attacks

~~Last Resort: Requires Fire level 7. Whenever an action spends your HP, you may spend it at the end of the phase, instead of before making the attack.~~ Removed because now it makes no sense

New Specialty: Quick Channeling: Requires Fire level 7. Reduce the Slow (X) rating of your abilities by 1. This can make the ability a Quick action.

Blade Magic:

!Snake Fang, !Hallowed Bolt and !Black Sky are now Ranged Slow (2) magical actions

Swapped the slow + hp cost for pure slow actions

Shadow Blade: No change.

This change makes them more in line with the other abilities.

This opens more combo opportunities

Rewrote them with only slow effects, plus changed to non-weapon attacks to make them fall in line with Shellburst Stab. Increased the difficulty so they aren't simple better versions of older abilities

And thats it

Hmmm. I'd have to look at these when its not so late for me.

Ok, after a night of sleep I've changed quite a few things:

1) Martial Discipline: Add the following text to the ability: Whenever you use a Adept ability, you may lose 10% of your current HP to decrease the Slow (X) value by 2. This can be done any number of times per ability and can make the ability a Quick action.

2) !Holy Strike/Shadow Strike up to Slow (4);
3) Quick Channeling changed to "You may reduce..."
4) Stasis Strike, Fury Brand, Light's Judgement increased to Slow (5)
5) Incerased Night Sword to Slow (2)
6) Increased Shellburst Stab, Soul Eater and Divine Ruination to Slow (6)

I think current HP% vs max HP% cost is one of the biggest changes compared to as it is now which is nice.
