The Wizzard Class: can only know a single spell, it is 9th level and learned at 1st level but they cannot cast it until appropriately levelled. (gains special improvised weapon proficiency: half-brick in a sock)

an idea i'd like to see explored is versatile mix-and-match class design, like if subclasses were more of a 60/40 split than a 75/25 and you could put them on any class, some of the more specific class building blocks only exist as top halves(like bladesinger), plus we have some of those 4e...

true but a shame, who knew that designing something with a mechanical role as your principle design goal rather than a vague thematic concept made for a better designed game widget?

i have to disagree, swordmage isn't the 'i want to do it all' class but rather the melee spells spellcaster/my weapon attacks inflict magical status/deal elemental damage, IMO at least, nobody can agree on what swordmage is/does if anything this is the 'i wanna do it all' one isn't actually a...

it was this part that i had interpreted as implementing 'exclusivity of spell schools (and similar such classifications)', i'm not sure what caused me at the time to read this in such a these are the classes allowed to cast these types of spells and no cross-contamination but it is what it is.

i fully admit i may have misconstrued your suggestions at the time, my lack of response was less due to wanting to let the assumptions stand and more just a preference to walk away and cool off from arguments when heated combined with the fact that so many topics are active on enworld that i...

i have no issue with making the cleric more of a 'white mage', i don't know why you would think it would? unless that was merely a ping to the wrong person or if you are referring to my response to your proposition of 'mechanically distinguishing the classes' mentioned in the wiz/sorc/lock...

PLAYER: i'd like my cleric to subtly begin consecrating the water from a distance.

i just remembered this scene exists (i can't seem to post the short to show directly in the post it just links 😞) https://youtube.com/shorts/4TAPR3WCXyU?si=9MmIbrqHgY3nboOS

Warlock: 'Pact of the Quantum' includes features such as -being in a different location to where it was last thought you were at. -ability to have taken a different action from the one you took last time. -cannot be killed while until observed by a party member, if you were killed while...

i think i'm less inclined to agree with that, at least on the success side, mostly because social challenges are dealing with a (theoretically in principle) independent entity with their own wants, desires and moods, rather than the typically 'static' components of the challenges usually...

this is what bothers me so much when people try to eliminate using social skills/checks in the game and just determine success/failure through the RP'ing character conversations at the table level.

well i'd say there's two main points to that attitude, the first being wanting VS needing, 'well how much of the awesome i'm doing is actually my character?' AKA 'if you're nothing without the suit then you shouldn't be a hero in the first place', being reliant on a sack of magic trinkets kind...

yeah i'd agree with this, a large component of 'skilled play' meaning trying to take the actions in a situation which will eliminate luck from being a factor in it's resolution.

i think people would cry bloody murder if the 5e fighter was redesigned to have half the innate advantages like 1e fighter did ...let's do it.

i won't deny wild magic is a popular established archetype but putting the random effects subclass as your first showing isn't a better first impression to be showing either, at least in my opinion.

i'd like to just put all the martial classes, the fighter, rogue, monk and barbarian, alongside the ideas of bard and ranger in a blender and mix em all up and break down the exclusivity of their abilities to create a bunch of new classes and a pooled resource of various martial techniques...

i don't really have a horse in this race but it occurs to me, minions weren't just any one type of monster right? you literally had a template which you could apply to any monster to minionise it, could the fact the term 'destroyed' be used be more of a result that not all minions would've...

i realized i didn't actually vote before so...aasimar, dragonborn and human, i would've liked to of said one of my picks was halflings, i love halflings conceptually, but their design is just so...passive, at least with human i get to pick what passives i'm getting.
