D&D 5E What Subclasses would you like to see?

[77IM]

Strength-based monk.

Divine caster monk (a 1/3 caster like eldritch knight and arcane trickster). I mean, come on, he is called a monk...

More sorcerer bloodlines.

Beastmaster ranger. ;}

 

[Parmandur]

More Sorcerer Heritages would be nice; mechanically, basing them loosely on Wizard Traditions with a twist seems about right:

-Fey Bloodline Sorcerer who is a master of Illusion metamagic

- Fiendish bloodline Sorcerer who is a master of Enchantment metamagic

- Celestial Sorcerer with healing, maybe Conjuration, metamagic

- Elemental Sorcerer

- Giant bloodline Sorcerer

- Chaos (Gith?) bloodline Sorcerer with Transmutation metamagic and abilities

 

[TwoSix]

Sorcerer subclass who gradually gains physical abilities as his spells deplete. Like the playtest sorcerer.

 

[Khaalis]

Just a few comments and shared links for material...

Someone on these boards had a great re-skinned barbarian serving as samurai. Rage as "battle zen", the other barb features mesh quite nicely with what one would expect of a samurai.

Happen to have a link? I can't seem to find this.

Wizard subclasses/specialties based on concepts other than the traditional schools of magic.
shadow, vestige, elemental (genie), death/dead spirits pacts for the warlock.

A few of these have been tossed out.

Wizard
Generalist Wizard: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-n7dDd5NJqBYlVYbWhPYmMwNFE/edit
School of Chronomancy: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/showentry.php?e=9&catid=1

As an aside, I'm also looking at at few options based off Fantasy Craft schools, who does their mages differently (i.e. the FC Mage encompasses all 3 D&D concepts of wizard, cleric and druid). Not all the concepts will work but some will.
* Channeler (Energy, force, Weather) - combat school that taps and controls primal forces
* Conjuror (Time, Space, Matter) - makes and controls the building blocks of the physical world
* Enchanter (Charm, Healing, Nature) - grants dominion over life in all its myriad forms
* Preserver (Glory, Seals, Wardings) - focuses on protecting and liberating places and people
* Prophet (Blessings, Calling [aka summoning], Foresight) - teaches about the world beyond ours as well as what ours might become
* Reaper (Affliction, Necromancy, Shadow) - rooted in suffering and death; promotes pain, fear and corruption
* Seer (Artifice, Divination, Word) - offers unique insights about the mechanics of the known world
* Trickster (Illusion, Secrets, Shapeshifting) - makes truth of untruth

Warlock
The Celestial: http://daedaluswing.wikidot.com/celestial-pact-warlock
The Noble Genie: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?358985-Al-Qadim-Land-of-Fate-(5e-conversion)
The Vestiges: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-n7dDd5NJqBYlVYbWhPYmMwNFE/edit
The Shadowlord: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?359812-The-Shade-race-and-Shadowlord-Patron-(Dark-Pact)

A Barbarian that doesn't rely on Strength.
{snip}So I am hoping to see a Barb subclass that key of Dexterity. {snip}
Perhaps a whirling dervish, where each "whirl" corresponds to one rage...?

I like the idea of a Whirling Dervish subclass of Barbarian. However, I'm unsure of how you would work a subclass that re-writes the class's core abilities to a new Stat. Anyone have ideas on how to pull that off? Possibly word it like a feat exception saying that when you take this subclass you can substitute DEX as your primary stat instead of STR as per a Fighter?

Other than that, I would like to see at least one more subclass of Sorcerer.

Check these:
* Aberrant Bloodline: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?358531-Other-Sorcerous-Origins
* Arcane Bloodline: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-n7dDd5NJqBYlVYbWhPYmMwNFE/edit
* Blessed Bloodline: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/showentry.php?e=10&catid=1
* Celestial Bloodline: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/browsecategory.php?c=1
* Elemental Bloodline: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?358531-Other-Sorcerous-Origins
* Fiendish Bloodline: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/browsecategory.php?c=1
* Fey Bloodline: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?358531-Other-Sorcerous-Origins
* Royal Bloodline: http://harbinger-of-doom.blogspot.com/2014/09/d-5e-royal-bloodline-sorcerous-origin.html

As an aside, I'm looking at doing some conversions of my own from the Pathfinder mega-list of origins (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/bloodlines).

Oh and a somewhat better tanking Fighter...
* Stalwart Defender Archetype: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-n7dDd5NJqBYlVYbWhPYmMwNFE/edit

About the only archetype I can't recreate from the existing system is a "shaman" type, particularly the 4e version with spirit animals and such. This could be an interesting new Druid subclass. Or you might be able to finagle a Nature Domain Cleric into something like this.

Check this version: Shamanism Domain (Cleric) http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...eric-Critique-Requested&p=6383106#post6383106

2. A marshal/knight/warlord (yeah, battle master does an OK job but I'm thinking mundane leader--a fighter/bard hybrid maybe, without spell slots)
3. social rogues
4. Artificer (wizard subclass)

Not exactly a "marshal" but check these:
* Knight Fighter Archetype: http://www.enworld.org/forum/5earchetypes/showentry.php?e=18&catid=1
* Veteran Fighter Archetype: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?358415-Utility-Talents-for-Fighters-Rules-Module

More Social Rogues:
* Con-Artist: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B-n7dDd5NJqBYlVYbWhPYmMwNFE/edit
* Mastermind: http://harbinger-of-doom.blogspot.com/2014/08/d-5th-edition-mastermind-roguish.html

While not an actual artificer class yet, there are two new classes in the general ballpark in the Downloads section: Alchemist and Gadgeteer.

Sorcerer subclass who gradually gains physical abilities as his spells deplete. Like the playtest sorcerer.

Which playtest version? If it is older than the final playtest, do you still have a copy to share the details?

 

[Grimstaff]

Fighter: knight/cavalier

Fighter: duelist/swashbuckler

Fighter: accursed (like EK but with some warlock abilities)

Sorcerer: Elemental

Fighter: Merchant (CHA based Fighter)

Barbarian: Atlantean (barb with.some thief ala Conan)

Rogue: Shadowdancer

I'd also like to see some race-specific archetypes. Halfling Burgler, Elven Archer, Dwarven Cabe Explorer, etc

 

[gweinel]

As some wrote before:

A druid with a pet.

A non magical ranger.

Also a summoner who can cast low lvl summonings.

 

[CrusaderX]

Definitely some type of Swashbuckler/Duelist. This can more or less already be done with a DEX-based Fighter, but the Swashbuckler concept deserves some cool special abilities not found in the basic Fighter builds, IMO.

 

[Aldarc]

Barbarian
* Path of the Warden: rage focused on defensive abilities and protecting allies

Bard
* College of Music: focusing on the bard's musical abilities and social skills

Cleric
* Fate Domain
* Rune Domain

Druid
* Circle of the Fang: animal companion, animal spirits, magical creatures
* Circle of the Seasons: time, weather, seasons, reincarnation

Fighter
* Knight: mount, social graces, Charisma

Paladin
* Oath of Liberation: freedom, liberation, chaos

Ranger
* Arcane Archer
* Scout: spell-less ranger

Rogue
* Shadowdancer

Sorcerer
* Elemental
* Fey
* Fiend
* Psionic

Warlock
* Celestial: angels, archons, demigods
* Draconic: dragons (and dragon kings)
* Shadow: Shadowfell creatures, undead, etc.

Wizard
* Defiler (Dark Sun)
* Preserver (Dark Sun)

 

[gweinel]

Scald Bard ofc...!

 

[Remathilis]

My biggest demand is for a shadowcaster of some type (pick an arcane class to add it to). Likewise, an elementalist would be awesome (I suspect we might see that in the Adv. Handbook).

An undead hunter (ranger?) would be nice.

I wouldn't mind seeing a weapon master/kensai fighter as well, who focuses on a single weapon.

Sorcerer bloodlines! Favored Soul and Warmage are just SCREAMING to be done.

Also, if the DMG doesn't have a Blackguard/Oath of Darkness...

Lastly, a Scout for the rogue (a wilderness rogue) would be keen.

Oh, and Pet Druid.
