Yeah, agreed. I've seen several options over the years: Expert, Thief, Sneak, Jack-of-all-Trades, etc. None of them are great.Yes, though “sneak” is a terrible name for that class group.

I feel like the 'classes' in this case would have to be basically nothing and the subclasses be way more robust for any of this to be satisfying.Only if the Sneak class takes the Bard subclass. It would be a good way to build the archetypical "rogue, but moreso" D&D character.
What if the Mage takes the Bard subclass? What would that look like? I'm imagining something along the lines of the Wishsong in the Shannara novels, or Sabriel in the Garth Nix novels.
Or what about a Warrior that takes the Bard subclass? That gives off some strong "skald" vibes, maybe even the Shout feature in Skyrim.
this seems to fiddly.Barbarian resistences expanded in the base class to include acid, cold, fire, poison, at level 6, and then again to include lightning, radiant, necrotic, and again at level 11 with lightning, necrotic, radiant, thunder, and then finally all damage at level 17.
Bear Barbarians can have Con Mod DR, rather than expanded resistence.
Removing all base classes except the Core Four, and rolling them all into subclasses.
Mage: Artificer, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard
Priest: Cleric, Druid, Paladin
Sneak: Bard, maybe Ranger, Rogue
Warrior: Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, maybe Ranger
I am all for deleting the Scores and just using the Ability Bonuses. That Score Cow is quite sacred, tho.Removing ability scores. Having 14 mean +2 is unnecessarily confusing.
Love it.Changing the attack and damage into one roll. 1d20+2d6+Str - 20 AC or something like that would speed up the game.
Heh, is so incompatible tho?We won't see them because backwards compatibility.
Making the Sorcerer use Constitution as the Casting Ability would be highly unusual, put the finger on why they arent Wizards, and give them a weird supernatural "witchy" toughness in combat.I’m still planting my flag firmly in the “Sorcerers should use CON rather than CHA” hill and I’m not backing down. After all, their magic comes from within them; it’s a part of their life essence. That screams Constitution to me.
