Dragonlance What do you want from a Dragonlance 5e?

[Anoth]

Well, a Warlord wouldn't exactly be out of place in a setting defined by a war, and a Shaman could be a nice alternative if your deities abandon you. So, sure, why not.

(Besides, it was the least-snarky thing I could come up with...)

Okay. I only read the first 2 trilogies And a few filler novels. But I thought the point of the story was that the people abandoned the gods not the gods abandoning their people.

Again, nothing much to Dragonlance, other than, well, you could speculate about what the priority might be with it? It hasn't had anything in several eds, right?

Beyond the fact that the commentary, in fact, has nothing to do with Dragonlance, it is not a bad idea to include one more class in the hypothetical new Dragonlance book. It would attract people from two different angles: those who like setting and those who want new material.
I think that class could be a Warlord.

Just dreaming out loud, you know...

Warlord doesn't fit DL. No clerics means less healing overall, not replace magical healing.

Fighting's all between individuals? dragon v mighty hero, all that sorta thing? No cheering section.

Shaman, then?

IDK, it's interesting that at least two settings had sorta gone 'no cleric,' back in the TSR era, yet did replace the healing function, one way or another.

What settings where those?

No healing DL was kind of in the past, PC clerics were the first of the new.

Not sure on the other setting.

But it went there.
And Dark Sun, of course, no gods, and magic-users were given ...issues.
But, hey, have psionics. And healing...fruit?

Warlord would be a perfect fit for DL, to be fair. Laurana is probably a Warlord of some kind, tbh.

I mean, Captain. Make Warlord a subclass that is the most combat focused subclass. A knowledge focused enabler makes better sense as a type of Captain than a type of Warlord, IMO, and the name Captain fits the fiction of DL a lot better.

I was just thinking about her. While the Battlemaster, the Banneret or even the College of Swords Bard fulfill the same function, I think it could work better with a class like Warlord (or Warlady in this case).

You are right. The setting was originally thought to be the first clerics of a new era in the PC´s party.

Oh that’s another good reason to use Captain. It’s more fully gender neutral.
