[QUOTE="gyor, post: 6006203, member: 6670153"] I was wondering how you guys would build an Ardent class for 5e? I thought at first that the Ardent could be done as a Speciality, like Avenger and Invoker, but now I think it'd work better as a class. See Avengers can be done easly with feats, one for Oath of Enimity, One for Pubishing those that violate your Oath and that's basically an Avenger's key features. Invoker would be basically divine spells for Clerics and maybe a feat to use rods and Staffs. Invokers didn't have many features. That just an example. But Ardents had a really cool unique flavour with thier mantles and how either powers work. They weren't just empaths that could feel an emotion or cause an emotional state, they took all the emotions of everyone around then and weaved those varied emotions, plus emotions they'd altered together to create a permant field Psionic energy, the mantle, which buffed allies. I've decided Ardents were my favourite class from 4e. For 5e I'd focus the class more on the mantle then atwills, so he's more different then the Psion. I think features and abilities that alter the mantle should be the main focus. I'll develop the idea more as I come up with ideas. Feel free to share your ideas. [/QUOTE]
