Joining the Red Wizards would be a cool idea. I'd like to do an anti-hero takeover, like "The Boys" but hunting liches instead of supes.

It would not require removing spells, since I literally describe how this opens space for spells in that post lol

It can cleave both ways. 2024 design is to make it more spells.

Indeed, but obviously I'm suggesting more effects, more like a menu you choose from at lower levels to customize your hunter's mark. An evolving hunter's mark that can have one aspect changed on a long rest creates a strong central identity and IMO does the job better than the spell does...

HM would be cooler if you could add new rider effects to it at higher levels.

Thats legit what my Pendragon class is as well.

The fact that it opens up hirelings and NPCs as a combat tool really makes it more appealing to me. Suddenly, building up that village's defenses REALLY matters, and allows IMO for the kind of scope that I want to enjoy with my fantasy.

The idea of class niche does not exist anymore when it comes to mechanics. Instead, you have class fantasy and class theme. Let's look at the druid. The druid has a spell list of AoE effects (ranger, cleric, wizard), divine magic (cleric, paladin), primal magic (ranger). Most of its features...

Weak. A tyrant should never let up.

Amazing

Yes, this is a pretty attractive approach. I may indeed lean this way.

I will probably do something similar to this too, with 3/7/10 being my levels (12 being an optional, as going by my above-post).

These are good thoughts, thank you for this. I may have it so 11th level is no longer the power spike but that 12th is, and make 11 the Epic Boon. 12th would then be a choice between probably three different features: A subclass capstone (like Hurl Through Hell in terms of design space) An...

The god that gets in the way of information transmission needs to be slain. If I run this system, that's the first campaign I'm doing.

Most of us do not.

Wish me luck, friends.

So with BG3 stopping leveling at 12nd level, a new kind of aesthetic is born. The reasoning for this is because it was difficult to balance 7th level+ spells on the player end. This creates a new cap at 6th level spells, providing a new effective range of traditional power and recontextualizing...

I fell into a vat of metadata harvested from TikTok and emerged as the Memer.

I don't have a convincing reason for my heel-turn yet.
