I think I also would like the Psionic to be different thematically and functionally. I mean a instead of spell slots, maybe a points system, maybe with different levels of points instead of a giant pool, maybe separate buckets to apply limits on upper-level abilities, and each sub-class to...

So I scraped the ideas I saw in this thread and through this together, using the Rogue's class description as a template, it is first stab at it, but is this the idea you were thinking of? Apologies for the log post, I am not sure how to hide it. Adventurer Core Adventurer Traits Primary...

I think issue is how the the four roles are viewed, I do not see them as aspects in a 4 axis cartesian grid, all going in different directions, but more like: the Striker, Defender and Leader are three axis in a plane with Controller in an axis perpendicular to the other three. So that each...

I think "dead" for RPG's is a spectrum rather than a binary state. The spectrum would span everything from Vibrantly alive ( publisher actively and profitable producing content, to the undead zombie king, ( copies only rarely available through the second hand market and more for collectors than...

I haven't read all the replies, but what about, focusing the class on a undead spirit familiar, that grows in power and benefits as the class progresses, with potential separate paths for necromancer development -summoner - animator - necrotic damage - life draining. It provides a connection to...

I think a book of cultural variations, since D&D is mostly fantasy Medieval European in outlook, and there have been many other rich cultural periods in human history, a book with class and sub class variations to encompass other cultural outlooks and aspects. These might be minor changes or...

I think the Gorn in SNW will turn out to be Gorn Augments, I mean why would a species naturally develop the ability to resist being detected with scans. This way they can tie together the two sub plots of the Gorn and the Federation laws on augmentation. So Pike can destroy the GornA and Kirk...

The Firsts The firsts are the favoured of the Goddess Anuthena who is the Guardian of civilization, they are devout and loyal to their calling. There are three aspects of Firsts The First of the Chalice, each bears the symbol of a chalice filled with healing liquid. They go forth into danger...
