i recognize erza and byakuya and though it's been a good while since i read either of those series i think i can recall their abilities well enough, edit: i don't know if it'd be my first inclination to call either a gish/swordmage though, even if they are both technically swordfighters who also...

that people think we need a new independent class to play a witcher is i think, a sign of the failure of the ranger's design.

rather than the large pool of points those spell point casters are usually designed with don't the people requesting point psions usually desire a smaller pool that recharges more frequently

that is to say, because i know your comment will get nitpicked, it is not as powerful a martial as a dedicated martial, nor as potent a spellcaster as a dedicated fullcaster, but the synergy of its martial and caster components make it individually as strong at swordmage things as either of...

because while bladesinger might be powerful as a fullcaster wizard with additional martial capabilities on top it's actually pretty ass at actually capturing the desired fantasy of the swordmage, of someone who seamlessly synergizes martial technique and magical effects into a single fighting style.

i feel like it's more likely the latter, it's one of those things that when used in a book the writer has absolute control to implement it as and when needed for to do things for the story and there's no-one to get irritated at the consequences because they're all fictional, but in a game you...

i think for me final fantasy came before harry potter as my first proper exposure to 'wizards' which maybe caused a bit of a different impression given it's a videogame rather than literature but yeah same general sentiment, my black mage is casting fira as their standard action not plinking...

not if designed properly i think, i don't mean abilities that only work in and are only applicable to a specific environment, i mean ones that are generically useful but thematic to the biome they come from, having a swim speed, cold resistance and the ability to freeze things and turn into a...

i really wish they would split the shapeshifting from the spellcasting with the druid, if not IMO ideally into it's own class then at least as an either-or choice at first level, you can have the shapeshifting OR the spellcasting to go with the rest of your druid abilities but not both (barring...

uh, is this meant to be replying to your own post or did discord bug out on you?

sure your character can get that, all they need to do is take a quick break from adventuring to study specialist magical theory for 15 years like the archmage did. i get the 'man that's cool and overpowered, i want my character to do that' attitude for NPC goodies but i also understand those...

that wizards needs to stop taking design half measures and actually put the effort in to actually make a swordmage properly already? ;)

soooo.... warlock right? you want things designed like warlock, with EB and their invocations for continual use and a few big pop offs with pact magic.

because there's the other half of 'everybody' who love martials.

i don't see why it's not a viable design path, but with all respect to @Minigiant 's design suggestions you could probably drop the variable mental stat and just go with an INT/STR primary stat design, Battlemaster manoeuvres already provide a ton of versatility and given the general assumption...

i saw my chance to make a DM of the Rings reference and i am taking it

do you really think if they add a new class there's any chance it's not going to have subclasses? subclasses are how they keep selling new content for old classes.

i don't think slot based carry capacity is something that would jive all that well in DnD because characters tend to pick up all sorts of weird bits and bobs but i think simplifying encumbrance into basic weight points could work, a longsword is 3 weight, an adventurer's pack is 5, combine that...

i don't know anything about kender except them being an excuse to be a compulsive kleptomaniac with an inbuilt justification to bat their eyes innocently when asked to explain themselves. okay i'm sure that's great but thats not what i meant, i meant a people who value the resulting story more...
