[QUOTE="MechaTarrasque, post: 7798162, member: 6801226"] I think you can get a taste of just about anything in 5e, but for some things, "a taste" is about all you get, so that is what I would like to see addressed as 5e progresses. Add my vote for the transforming barbarian. I like 4e's warden, and I know the oath of ancients paladin touches on this (and paladins in general transform as their capstone), but it doesn't feel central to that (sub)class. In the spirit of the oathbreaker paladin/death domain cleric (more NPC than PC), some kind of possessed barbarian (possibly connected to the transforming barbarian). A pet class: the pet has almost all the combat power, and the "PC" is there mostly to talk to other people. You could probably get this by multiclassing hexblade and devotion paladin, but it seems like there ought to be "oath of stewardship" paladin who guards some item (or maybe "oath of protection" if you want to expand it past guarding an item to guarding a person). There is nothing that says the paladin can use the item right away, so it wouldn't be "1st level paladin using an artifact"). I wouldn't mind more of a "bad touch" monk. The monk has some innate "bad touch" abilities, but this would double down on it; maybe spend some ki point to cast cleric "bad touch" spells, plus can use unarmed strike as the "touch" in delivering the spell. Again, this might be more NPC than PC. Most of the warlock patrons have a musical connection (from Devil went Down to Georgia to the weird pipe music in Lovecraft), so an instrument pact implement. I have also noticed some NPC warlocks have 4e-stule transformations, and I was thinking of a tattoo implement that would give you that. [/QUOTE]
