Ah i see. Well..... there are three "literary" characters that might play well with the concept. 1. The first one i see is Merlin, as portrayed in 1981 Excalibur. Here we get a caster that seams to exert himself every time he "bares" the Dragon's Breath, or the charm of creation and his...

Pretty much the idea behind the class, though as mentioned the HD and their number maybe should be objects of scaling. Such as d4 turning to d6 at/after level 10, and their number decreasing from 3 per level to 2 per level. Both. I want the class to be both thematic and provide opportunities to...

Rages also remain in use until at least the end of the encounter. The bonuses used by "burning" HD are one time action specific. More similar to battle master maneuvers in that regard. Possibly. That is why granular HD per level might be a good idea. A larger number of smaller HD would benefit...

Hmm, i'd play your half elf as well. The thing i think, as to why some people would chose half elves over elves (from my point of view anyway), is that sometimes there is quite a bit of difference from how some of us want the elves to be portrayed and how they actually are/were throughout DnD...

Ah, i see. As a person that usually goes to the half-elves for his first several PCs in every edition so far, i was most curious as to what makes your half elves not as good as the other races. Have you made a home brew variant half elf that is different from the ones in current rules...

The first idea i had was for sort of a utility/general purpose support. Can fight, but not primary fighter, can "rogue" but not primary rogue and most of all, can last based on its own resources. Though needed and invested in if available, 5E doesn't really have a class that is "based" on...

Just curious, why does your half-elf suck?

Home brews seams like a good place to post this, but if misplaced, please place it accordingly :) Anyways, reading the topic about what new class we would like to see, i noticed a comment about a possible new "fighter" or "non caster" class and thought to myself, how there really isn't a CON...

This essentially! Insofar as providing support and enabling expending of healing surges yes. Though tactical were more in the line of nova providers.

One thing that comes to mind is a class or subclass that is primary constitution based and designed around the concept of efficient hit dice and CON bonus use to provide increased self sufficiency (think the multiple HD UA ranger for HP mechanics). However..... i don't think being based on...

My first contact with this kind of entertainment was PAX' adventures of "Acquisitions Inc". And for a long time their annuals were the only thing i've watched as far as RP-ing goes. Only in the last 12-13 months i started scouring the net for similar shows on the net and i stumbled on Critical...

I understand that, that is why i mentioned it can be difficult even for parties/tables that have a long mileage together. But if the DM has a very concrete idea about a story and the characters that will drive it, then why not.... i'd let him/her create my PC. Or rather create the available PCs...

Right now (in 5E) we have a dwarven (drunk) life cleric and he does a great job. However, there was a time in 4E, before we were joined by a cleric when we ran with only me as warlord and a tactical one at that. Fun times..... but then again 4E allowed all the classes to spend heeling surges....

Some of these "shows" are mighty good and i enjoy them whenever i have the free time. I've picked up quite a few RP tips from critical role i.e.

In 5E? Those 3 nasty assassins in HoDQ one hit our paladin (KO-d), but fortunately they didn't want us dead, so we only ended up with lots of bruises, both on the body and the ego. In 4E though, there was this one encounter with a mature dragon (i was not personally present during that one) on...

Well..... a ranger of course ;) :p

I actually proposed something like this ("to hit" scaling with the current shape of the combatant, i.e. HP) on the BioWare forums, back in the day when they were designing DAO and during that discussion it became apparent that it would lead to some unwelcome mechanics. Like accelerated defeats...

And here i was, thinking that for a change i might invent something........ it's like i invented warm water :P Ahhh..... the "wounds" word....... i'll pretend it's a 1-2E relic :D

Yeah.... definitely agreed!

I'd like to think there are some. Personally, i don't think i'm experienced enough to either DM the approach or play/generate such characters, but in essence, i think it's the "purest" form of role playing available. But it does put a lot of responsibility on the DM and requires the players to...
