[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 9885729, member: 467"] For a relatively generic or typical Contemporary fantasy/Urban Fantasy type setting, what do you think would be among the necessary subclasses? Barbarian: maybe a pit or cage fighter type? Or, in a lot of settings, maybe barbarian is where you put playable lycanthropy? Bard: rocker, for sure. Cleric: tough one Druid: Circle of the Wilds where the druid subclass is specifically focused on the remaining wild places on earth; alternatively, an urban "rat" druid Fighter: modern firearm focused subclass, I think Monk: maybe this is where the pitt/ufc fighter goes? Paladin: an oath dedicated to keeping magic stuff secret if that is the kind of setting Ranger: modern spec ops type maybe? Rogue: here is where the "hacker" hoes I think Sorcerer: I think this needs to lean on whatever the story of magic is in the setting Warlock: For some reason, I like a powerful ancestory patron here Wizard: maybe not a technomancer per se, but a wizard subclass that marries magic with modern technology would be interesting.
