On a variety of threads here, there have been a number of debates over Light Fighters, their neglect or half-baked attempts to "fix" the neglect in older editions as well as to whether or not the current Fighter class does the archetype justice. As an experiment I attempted a Light Fighter...

I personally don't care as it is a valid discussion as a subclass for Light Fighters as well. That said, it might get more traction and exposure as its own thread. This is how I've been thinking about it. NewArchetype: KENSAI (modified Champion) A kensai spends their life focusing their...

You offering a playtest? I'd like to see it as well. From the few minor simulations I did, I think they should be pretty on par. I think the Power Points give a slight advantage in versatility, but its countered by a more limited selection of "spells". I will be interested to see how Spell...

Thanks for the comments. As you said, YMMV on all of it. Like with anything, even whats in the PHB, its all open to Houseruling and Homebrewing. Feel free to mix and match anything you want and make the class/sublcasses you want for your game. I just provided a starting point template. :) As...

I have just uploaded 5E Psionic Warrior (experiment); Companion to Psionicist to the downloads area. This class is my interpretation of a Psionic Warrior companion to the Psionicist class for 5E. It is meant to be a "quick and dirty" conversion until such time as the official psionics subsystem...

As to the Kensai, if you really want to stick to the older D&D visions of the class, it really is likely to need its own class treatment, or should be a true subclass of Fighter rather than Light Fighter. As it stands now, the closest thing to Kensai in the core is a Champion Fighter, where the...

Well its going to need some work. I would use the Monk as a skeleton for features. IE: 1st = 2 features, 2nd = 2 features, etc. A few quick note on first skim. * Some of your abilities don't list the level they are acquired in the text, just the table. That should be cleaned up. * Unarmed...

1) What class did you use as the skeleton? It looks like its missing a lot of features. 2) Could this be accomplished as a Subclass of Monk?

See, the problem I have with Kensai is that its become rather muddled in the last few years in gaming. Kensai is a practitioner of Kenjutsu which is an encompassing term for all Koryu schools of Japanese sword fighting (especially Kendo and Iaido). It originated with the Samurai class of feudal...

IMHO, this is as it should be. To be honest a game in Middle Earth shouldn't allow Istari as PCs. You have a party with a bunch of lowly middling power mortals and then throw in what basically equates to a Demigod. Istari are ridiculously powerful. Istari only "look" human. They are in fact...

I'm really not trying to be a troll here, but this needs to be said. If you want a true game geared for Middle Earth, D&D is really not the best system for you. I would seriously suggest you check out The One Ring by Cubicle 7.

I've thought of the same thing as it was done this way in Fantasy Craft as well. So the assumption is that all GP costs are now SP costs. How will you scale conversion rates of other coin? i.e. A 1gp item, now costs 1sp What are the exchanges of other coins? Will you invent new lower metal...

I like the idea of bringing in the Icons to a 5E campaign. I think its the one thing in 13th Age I found unique enough to want to steal. Is the mechanical aspect of Icons OGL? If so, it might be nice to include a summary. Keep in mind not everyone will have 13th Age. On first blush through...

Argh. Damn it. I thought I fixed this. The issue was drawing material from 2 sources and being lazy in not reinventing the rules myself. /kicks self I need to go back and fix "Slow Load" now that I really look at it again. Slow Load I like that Proficiency makes the weapon easier to load. So...

Thanks for the comments. My bad, I missed the split between "good" and "fair" saves when I did the quick edit from the Fighter. However, considering the focus of the Light Fighter, it should likely be DEX & INT. Yes, typical fist weapons. I have added an Appendix with my current stats for fist...
