This may also be features rather than archetype, but the endurance guy. The one that can push themselves farther than anybody else. Something that could be represented by immunity or bonuses vs exhaustion, or more class abilities that rely on Constitution. And I'd love it if it was a Ranger...

3 years on an my Mastiff will still do this from time to time. Its fun to watch in the yard while sitting and having a drink. Less so in the crowded house.

Once I was really determined to watch the Star Wars Holiday special. 20 minutes in I learned how weak my will really was.

That's fantastic! Selective breeding sure has a lot of drawbacks.

I know this comment was made in jest, but this is sadly a common justification for for violence against children and very commonly women as well. Lack of violence is a terrible, terrible "reward".

Sometimes mutts do get a designation title (not exactly breed) like the domestic short hair cat. Handsome boy you got there.

@GreyLord That's a nice analysis. The only thing I would add is the Mormon belief that balance is necessary in all things only applies to things of this life and this world. In Mormon mythos eventually evil will have served it's purpose (temptation) and goodness is ultimately and permanently...

In truth, I save one Rage for a high attack/high AC boss fight (because if they are so likely to hit me I might as well just Reckless Attack and if they are hard to hit I need to reckless attack in which case I want to have a Rage use handy), then I burn though all the rest as often as combats...

I know veteran players, 30+ year players that prefer the Champion as it hearkens back to those 1e Fighters. I don't see value in taking away those type of options that those players prefer just because some others think the are for "noobs".

Insulting to those that like Barbarians too. When to reckless Attack and When to rage are more tactical decisions than most people give them credit for.

My Freyja is big for a dog, but small for a Mastiff. As the runt of her litter she is pretty easily bullied by just about everyone. That helps make her the perfect dog for my 2 toddlers. They freely climb all over her and she doesn't bat an eye. She's great as watchdog too as she feels the need...

:ROFLMAO: Now I want to make a scenario just to tell them "You see Six dexter looking sarcophagi" and see how they respond

Y'all are pretty good telegraphers. I would just say "You see six sinister looking sarcophagi." And my Players would ask "Why are they sinister?" and I'd have them paranoidly checking everything for the rest of the session.

I feel about this the same way I feel about people complaining that the default game is too easy. Well of course it is. WotC has to take into account new players and new DMs. Those experienced enough to break the system can adjust their table to ramp up the challenge, but can you actually...

To put it strictly in terms of archetype, like the OP asks for. The Archetype that I see that missing is someone who focuses so much on wielding one weapon perfectly that the wont even wear armor for fear of interfering with that focus. The 5e Monks base features like Flurry of Blows, Tongue of...

Awesome thread. AiME and Pugmire were the only ones I knew of. I like having a handy list of things I can suggest to my group that won't take learning a new system.

Sure but does that make it a Sword Saint or a master of one weapon? Apart from getting 5 Kensei weapons the Kensei still gets can't flurry of blows with Kensei weapon, and agile parry actively encourages unarmed strikes again. The are also restricted from using an Ōdachi or Naginata. It's a...

A non-magic barbarian that doesn't incur exhaustion though class features or has to wear spiky armor. Okay that's more mechanic splitting than new archetype, but I want something more satisfying than the berserker. Kensei while a fine monk subclass fails as a sword-saint/master-of-one-weapon...

I've always tried to follow the philosophy: Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt. Glad to know that approach is still sound.
