Casting an animate dead spell on this thread, as I'm still intrigued by this class concept. I hope life is treating you well, as you deserve, TLW. :)

Call me really, really weird, but I think maybe... just maybe... a ranged defender might be doable. [link] Maybe it's just me, though. (With apologies to FF6Shadow for my drama in introducing his material.)

Oooh! Yeah, given the "theme" that many of your classes are based off of, I'm thinking "Red Mage" might be your best bet. Just MHO.

Well, throwing in the official work, you'd be right. But, in compiling this list, I willfully chose to forego the swordmage and the artificer (and the WotC barbarian and bard, for that matter). The Advanced Player's Guide classes, along with your, FF6Shadow's, and GreatFrito's works, fit too...

THE CLASS AND POWER PACK This post assumes you have access to the core rulebooks for Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition plus the Advanced Player's Guide from Expeditious Retreat Press. THE CLASSES The Lancer (Martial Controller), by FF6Shadow The Sentinel (Arcane Defender), by FF6Shadow The...

TLW, your response was far more diplomatic than mine would have been, given that you pretty much stated in the OP that it was one of your major inspirations. Thank you!

Okay, I decided to try to compile my own arcane leader Necromancer, since I admittedly grew impatient... yay, immediate gratification! Well, now I owe you an apology, TLW. I now have a much, much, much greater appreciation of the time constraint issue you are facing. Thank you so much for all...

First off, Fearghal, welcome to the boards! Secondly, you'll be happy to find out the bard has been recreated several times over already. 3PP (Third Party Publisher) books such as Expeditious Retreat Press' Advanced Player's Guide and Goodman Games' Forgotten Heroes: Fangs, Fist, and Song have...

That having been said, though, I don't blame you at all for liking it for what it is. And if the Shadow source does indeed turn out to be what everyone and their Great Uncle Sally are assuming it will be, this will make a perfect Shadow leader. For now, though, it makes a fantastic Arcane...

I would agree, EG, if WotC had already set pen to paper defining exactly what the Shadow source is and what it is capable of doing. Right now, even with the barbarian playtest out, I'm loathe to tempt fate even with our interpretations of the Primal power source, let alone Shadow, Psionic, or...

I for one really like this class. I might not include it in the "core classes" that I'd offer in my campaigns, but I can really see it's use in certain types of high fantasy campaigns. Good job, FF6Shadow!

I like the aspect and the healing salve features a lot. I'm suspecting you may or may not be inspired by an incredibly popular computer game for the totems... if so, I'm certainly looking forward to how you implement that. It's looking good so far. Good luck!

Another difference between FFS and APG, which I'm admittedly surmising only from the druid preview Goodman Games put out and my own full copy of APG, is that while the APG constrains itself to the core three power sources (Martial, Divine, Arcane), FFS took the plunge and reeled in the Primal...

A wonderful artist who did work for TSR and WotC during the height of the 2nd Edition era. Her figure form and attention to detail made her work stand out above many of the other artists at the time... her B&W work is very much comparable to Larry Elmore's or Jeff Easley's, in terms of quality...

Forgive me my fanboyishness, but this is a good class. Of course real-world takes precedence, so you make sure you take of that first. Just knowing you haven't forgotten is more than I can ask for. :)

I hope to see more support for this version of the class. I hope to see Lord Winter encouraged to finish this class. :D

APG Savage Warrior vs WotC Barbarian? Well, the first is a Martial Defender while the second is a Primal Striker. That's the most telling difference. Rage is also handled differently in the WotC version (it's basically activated when you use a Daily power and grants different benefits). On a...

I planned on correcting the whole Imaginary Terrain problem with this. Move Imaginary Terrain to 1st-Level Daily where it belongs, and supplement the 1st-Level Encounter and 1st-Level Daily with the ones from the Dragon Magazine article. So that the Spellbinder power list actually went...

EDIT: I'm retracting my post because it's best I let moderators handle what I was trying to handle, like Umbran has done below.

So far, I'm really liking the Sorcerous Sentinel and the Lancer, as they're fairly well balanced and they help fill in the gaps in the source/role matrix without relying on campaign guides WotC has published (I'm one of those mildly OCD people who desperately desire that sort of symmetry). The...
