Good video! Audio balance was definitely improved! As for suggestions, maybe continue looking at some of the other Secrets of Magic archetypes. Cathartic Magic & Wellspring Magic look pretty cool and flavorful.
Soulforger lacks a tiny bit of punch I think. It's solid, but compared to other archetypes it's kinda not fabulous. You basically get a reaction buff, good quick draw, and a power that's okay but only available once per day for one fight and aside from certain combinations it's not really as punchy as other archetypes. You only get it once, so it's kinda iffy to build you character around it. I mean you can get multiple armaments and it gets much better with multiples, but the archetype takes up a lot of space for what it gives you and if you are only interested conceptually in one super magic item the archetype doesn't really give you that. There should be a perhaps higher level feat that gives you more uses of the powered up summon of one armament (perhaps consuming one of your maximum potential slots for new armaments) so you can specialize in a singular one. Generally it's a little cooler than it is powerful. Especially given that you can't seemingly just turn on the Essence Power when the thing is out already. Meaning if you have it out you need an actions to Dismiss it, then bring it out in Essence form. So really unless you walk around with it stored and pop it out when the fight starts it's terribly action inefficient.
I find a strange imbalance in the architype between offense and defense, you can get some insane defensive ablities like much strong shield, fast healing (with a heal spell for free) and just being able to ignore conditions but offensively it's kinda lacking
Very nice video! You got a new subscriber m8! So you asked for some ideas, right? What kind of videos do you want to make? Only Archetypes? Could you please make a review of the Cathartic Mage Dedication?
I think the soulforger might be a good way for a GM that doesn't want actual guns&gears content in their game because of the worldbuilding it requires to allow a gunslinger for their campaign, see it's not an actual rifle - this character just has a rifle shaped soul lol. Jokes aside I think this is a pretty cool archetype, really wanna play one some day
I'm thinking about playing a protection domain cleric with the soul forger dedication and having them focus on defense and taking both the armor and shield but I haven't worked out the full concept yet
I was impressed with your previous two videos and this one was even better. Keep up the good work. Glad to see another quality PF2E channel.

Love your work! Love the drawings and chill vibes. Cheers!

The spider stick has been beheld. I am terrified, and in awe of its power
Cool video and cool archetype. I'm not a big fan of the font though, it's just a little too hard to decipher
Weapon implement paragon Thaumaturge + Weapon soul forger?!
