[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7818893, member: 20564"] You have a lot of cool class ideas. I was originally trying not for a "what should we add to 5e" but debating the comment from JC that all archetypes have already been covered. So I'm trying to find out not what we can add to 5e,but what 5e needs to cover classic and modern fantasy archetypes. Part of the definition of an archetype is that it is recurring is stories and myth. So a good test if something is actually an archetype is to name a character in legend, stories, movies or some other non-D&D source. If someone doesn't spring to mind, for all that it still may be a gap in the classes it is more likely a "D&D-ism" then an archetype. For example, multiple characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legends of Korra support the idea of an elemental sorcerer. Fionn mac Cumhall from Irish myths may be an example of Master of the Hounds. Can you suggest characters for your other subclasses? (Again, this isn't judging them in terms of worthiness, just if they cover a classic archetype that we can't fill with another class.) [/QUOTE]
