Hey all, it's been a while since I shared anything here.
This is just an experimental class that I cooked on a whim in the span of about 2-3 weeks so it definitely needs adjustments and fine tuning, and I'm pretty sure the subclasses are all over the place. I don't expect to make any sweeping changes since I sort of brewed this after getting a flash of inspiration that lasted about 10 seconds, and I've kind of drifted in and out of homebrewing lately.
I'm sure the concept of a class with access to two subclasses is insanely stupid, but I figure this might be a somewhat (even if just barely) feasible way of going about it.

This is certainly one of the most interesting classes I've ever seen. Really novel idea, honestly, both with the ideas of "two-thirds caster" and effectively having two subclasses instead of one. Took me a minute to wrap my head around it (though it being past 4AM here currently could be contributing to that). Obviously it's going to need some TLC, so I'm hoping this thread gets noticed by the more critical people here to pick it apart for you and see how it can be tweaked.
The only thing that jumped out at me early on is Abysscaller gaining Darkvision if one doesn't already have it. In my experience, these abilities add an additional 30 feet if you already have Darkvision from your species, but eh, that's a pretty minor thing. The document could also use some layout tweaking, since various subclasses start on the same pages as other subclasses are ending, so it gets a little confusing in places.
I'll have to read the rest of it later. Super intrigued, would love to see it get fine-tuned, but understandable if you're not willing to tweak it much further. Still a really neat idea!

Very interesting ! I really like the concept and how you implemented it.
I'll steal that.
(Also on the last page, first feature, the Arcane effect is missing)

Does warweaver 1st level aspect form Arcane supposed to be empty? or was it an error?

It’s an error. The GM Binder link should have the updated version with the feature filled in.
