Original Creations Compilations (contributions welcome)

Thank you very much for the help, it's much appreciated. I believe that, for Breakthrough, shift was a bit different than what my intent was however. Pull, much like shift, doesn't provoke OAs and in addition it means the character must move towards the Warlord (the goal, since the Warlord is moving ahead and leading by example). With the ability to simply shift instead of pull, the Warlord can break into the phalanx of Hobgoblins and the Rogue can turn around and run.

The others I'm really diggin', thank you for the assists!

pulled is fine, except that generally its forced and not optional. If you included the Willing part for ally, it'd be fine.

The fighter powers are cool, but prone may be a little powerful in playtesting. I'd consider allowing an immediate save or reducing the damage to 1[W]. I haven't quite played yet myself (all theory here) but if somebody who has could tell us both would be appreciated.

Other warlord abilities slide, so there's precedence.

So far I've found 'prone' to not be very strong except against very mobile folks. You can stand up without provoking and it only gives combat advantage (same as flank). It's effective, certainly, but it's not game breaking.

Only downside of prone is it discourages movement.

Ok, though I like what I see, I'm not sure what I'm seeing.

I'm working on ClassOCC right now, and would like to put that warlord in.

I see some revisions going on and really don't have time to wade through it. Can one of ya'll post a completed version in the next day or so?

Classes are just so huge but we like huge, don't we?

Good stuff all around.

EDIT-Okay, the Warlock and Warlord will both be in their own file, and done very simply to match Verys Arkon's PDF Lite. I'm going to gift them to him as per his earlier post. I've got a lot more work to do on it, but it should be done soon. Call it PHBOCC.

The Barbarian and Druid will be done in a PHB2OCC

Truly original ones (new names and such) will be done in the ClassOCC.

I think this serves everyone's interest and handles future revisions (when the official stuff is released) in advance. I assume that at those times, the creators can clip their original materials out for the Powers OCC or whatever.

Classes are very big, and suffer more revisions than most, so they take a lot longer to finish. Are these six the only ones we have: Barbarian, Druid, Knight, Monk, Tinker & Warlock (with Warlord to come)? Please bear with a very busy man, I am making headway, but I want to do them nicely.

Ohe yeah. I was meaning to write up a martial controller class based on my dwarven regnant submission to Keterys (he wrote it up beautifully). I am kind of short on time and thought I might toss it out to any interested parties. The below link has my submission and his write-ups (which are also in KETERYSv1-7) Know that if we get the class done, it will all get its own book (which will have Keterys' monster write-ups, example encounters (hopefully), new stuff, and 30 levels of powers eventually). I'd like to give the Tinker, Knight, Mimic, and any other original classes a similar treatment (gods willing).

Warlord, with all the changes made thus far (save changing White Raven Onslaught's name, but with the changes to the phrasing to make it a bit more comprehensible). I also attached the fancier version, which should look a bit nicer:

Warlord

“We may be fleeing, and we may be wounded, and we may need to regroup... but beaten? No, we are not that – we will never be that.”

Class Traits
Role: Leader. You manage the battlefield, helping your allies to be in the critical position to defeat the enemy or providing them with the needed push towards success.
Power Source: Martial. Your talents depend on extensive training and constant practice, innate skill, and natural coordination.
Key Abilities: Strength, Intelligence and Charisma

Hit Points at 1st Level: 12 + Constitution Score
Hit Points per Level Gained: 5
Healing Surges: 6 + Constitution Modifier

Trained Skills: Diplomacy plus three others from the following list: Acrobatics (Dexterity), Athletics (Strength), Endurance (Constitution), History (Intelligence), Insight (Wisdom), Intimidate (Charisma), Perception (Wisdom)

Class Features: View the Field, Lead from the Front, Warlord Tactics, Rally the Troops (see Powers)

Warlords excel at either maintaining a wide view of the battlefield and commanding their troops or charging into the thick of combat and inspiring others by their example. They are consummate warriors who know the value of putting one's whole effort into a battle, and also when to flee. They direct their allies across the field, motivate them to fight harder and struggle to keep them safe.

Warlord Class Features
All Warlords have the following class features.

View the Field
When not engaged in melee, the Warlord grants all allies within 10 squares a +1 bonus to attack rolls as he or she directs them where to strike.

Lead from the Front
When making a Charge action, a Warlord adds an additional +1 bonus to the attack roll, and inflicts +1d6 damage if the attack hits.

Warlord Tactics
Warlords generally come from two established ranks, either well studied academics who have learned military strategy at the feet of masters of the craft, or generals in the field who have discovered first-hand what works best and how to inspire the loyalty of their soldiers. Choose one of the following:
Battlefield Veteran: When using the Rally the Troops Power, the Warlord may add double his or her Charisma modifier.
Master Tactician: When the Warlord moves an ally, they may move an additional number of spaces equal to the Warlord's Intelligence modifier.
