They get two skills and no way to get expertise in a knowledge skill. That ain’t a sage)let my nerdiest friend play a mostly nonmagical nerd whose main stat is int and who can make useful lore checks in combat. Give them tome-pact style ritual casting, but no spellcasting otherwise. Maybe even a few spells that aren’t rituals can be used as rituals by the Sage?The Daredevil. Fearless, survives partly by luck, partly because their fearlessness leads to them not hesitating.The Inventor. I know I know, Artificer. But...can we have a mundane inventor, too, please?The assassins that aren’t disguised poisoners. (See, the Covenent Agent/avenger concept discussed upthread)The Shadow. Character that becomes darkness/a shadow. Permastealth type. I am the night. The shadow monk kinda gets it, but I’d love a rogue that simply becomes a shadow.The Hanged Man. “<table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>I know that I hung,</td></tr><tr><td>on a wind-rocked tree,</td></tr><tr><td>nine whole nights,</td></tr><tr><td>with a spear wounded,</td></tr><tr><td>and to Odin offered,</td></tr><tr><td>myself to myself;</td></tr><tr><td>on that tree,</td></tr><tr><td>of which no one knows</td></tr><tr><td>from what root it springs”</td></tr></table>-Havamal, Thorpe translationRelated to Hanged Man, the not-evil hand of death. Someone you could use The Morrigan as direct inspiration for. Most of the death related archetypes relate to necromancy, but we’ve got only, I think, the Grave Cleric playing with Death while rejecting Necromancy.The Hand of God. I’d love just a full on 4e style avenger with no armor, attack and damage using Wisdom. I can make a Hexblade/Paladin work, using Charisma and Armor of Shadows, but I’d love to see a rogue or fighter or something that just is this concept from the jump. Archetypes coming in at 3 for most classes hurts this concept a bit. Maybe make it a Monk?Semi-related: a divine archer. It’s a thing in anime a lot, and kinda a thing in Eberron lore with Thranish Paladins. But there is absolutely nothing in the game supporting an archer bolstered by divine grace.A transformer. Someone that takes on a terrible aspect and becomes larger than life to fight. Could be a weird Druid, but Barbarian fits better IMO. Hell, let my barbarian choose at a given level whether they can turn into an ogre or turn into a Treant when raging!</blockquote>
