I am basically looking at Multi-classing only be possible with one or both of the classes having to be a "default" class: Fighter, Mage, Cleric, or Thief. Triple-classing I was not considering.

Well, not a Warlock or Bard. hahaha. The Wizard classes are: Mage: the default/generalist arcane magic-user. (Optional choice of 2 specialists available at 1st level: Illusionist or what D&D would term an "Abjurer." But a Mage need not be either.) Psychic: the mental powers class. (Discipline...

(Put this as a "General D&D" because I'm really asking about/for my homebrew, so it could be applied viewed as for several different versions of D&D or OSR or whatever systems you prefer.) Assumption #1: There is a game with 4 categories of classes: The Warrior classes, who primarily use...

I kind of feel that "Wisdom" for a cleric caster is a cow....a sacred one, even. (Heh. Cleric. Sacred. Not intentional.) I would look at things comme ci, Intelligence casters: Wizard (default/primary), Druid (secondary, there's a LOT of knowledge that has to go into, not just the...

I have long been a proponent of a Wis based warlock given the exterior/imbuing power source making them, to my mind, much more sensibly treated as "Arcane-entity powered clerics/paladins" than "Entity deal-making/invoking wizards" (and the plain fact that D&D went a bit nuts with assigning...

I am not an authority on Native American folklore/myth/legend. I just know they are looked on as evil, probably man-eater/cannibal, magic-using creatures not to be trusted. All I'm saying is, the term is not as "innocent" as one (including myself) would have originally thought.

Ok...so...now, I'm thinking... 1. Human. -Urban -Rural -Half-Dragon -> metallic, gem, chromatic -Planar: Genasi -> air, earth, fire, water 2. Elf. -High -Wood/Sylvan -Half-Elf -> high. light, wood -Planar: Fae-touched Elf: Sidhe (Fairy/Grey/"Light Elf") 3. Orc. -Mountain (standard subterranean...

As far as celtic/gaelic/european "shaman" type of figures, yes. However, my limited understanding is, in Navajo culture/myth it is a decidedly "evil/harmful" witch-like man-killing character. They are a shapeshifter, yes. But a much more negative connotation.

1. Humans: choose Urban or Rural for default Alternate Lineages, --Half-Planar: Celestial, Fiend, Elemental, Shadow --Half-Dragon 2. Elves, choose High or Wood for default Alternate Lineages, --Aquatic Elf --Planar Elf (fae), Sidhe/"Light Elf" 3. Dwarves, Hill Dwarf (default) Alternate...

A humanoid avian race. NOT anthropomorphic birds with hands. Flash Gordon's Hawkmen. DC's Thanagarians. Angel from the X-men. Humans (for all ostensive purposes) with raptoran/hawk/eagle wings. There was the "winged ones" (the "Al-karak-elam"? Not sure I'm recalling that correctly) from...

Ah. Ok. That was probably me not being clear. Maybe it bares repeating/noting in the feature? I've done a bit of that with my homebrew specialists. I do have - and want- a generalist/everything "mage/wizard." And, obviously, even with their own spell lists, the specialists and generalists...

I understand the desire to have a singular subclass, but I really did like the addition of magical/supernatural specialty "powers"/tricks and/or spending of spell slots to do something "illusionisty" or "abjurish." If subclass can deliver "bonus spells" dependent on domain or terrain or patron...

Sure. In a 5e saves prof set-up, that would make sense.

I have been back and forth on the "Fighter specialist class" vs. "Rogue specialist class" for my homebrew forever. Thank you for thinking as I do! Their primary shtick is their unique, acrobatic, flamboyant style of "fighting." It does make sense for it to be a Fighter sub-/specialist class...

Oh, no. I'm not meaning to sound as if my hair's not on fire. I am not advocating for anyone's hair on fire. Just enjoying some, as you say, "white room" theoreticals/design concept stuff. White rooms are the best rooms. :D As you describe the dance bard, that all sounds fine/as it should be...

From where I sit, it seems to me automatic, that you just don't design a 'punch bard" to punch as well as the "punch monk." The bard -whatever their subclass- should have a wide array of options for their actions. Punch Bard can be good at punching. Better than most people. Not as good as a...

Absolutely, and what reason is there...other than it just hasn't been done yet...that the game /couldn't/ have both systems? The magic-users get their levels of spell progression, their channeling abilities, their other supernatural magic innate things, depending on their class. Design true...

Gnalfling and Halme were my initial thoughts. But think I'll go with a "Thumble." A mutant abomination resembling either/both their parents that will grow no taller -at full growth/adult age- than a foot and a half tall. Almost certain to not make it past their adolescent years without...

"This game(or world) won't have psionics. Don't pick any of those classes." Done. Things, ANY things, being in the PHB doesn't "force" a DM to do squat/include anything. What a curious notion.
