[QUOTE="Marandahir, post: 8611520, member: 6803643"] Entirely hypothetical. I'm still not completely satisfied with the splitting of combat roles specifically for Fighter-types, but when I didn't split them, the martial subclasses were getting unwieldy. Key: [LIST] [*]Class -- Choice of Key Ability (Subclasses can have secondary abilities) -- 4e Combat Roles [LIST] [*][B]Subclass[/B] (5e source subclass(es), if name is distinct) [*]Subclass* = Has Psionics [/LIST] [/LIST] List: [LIST=1] [*]Warrior -- Strength, Dexterity -- Artillery, Brute, Leader, Skirmisher [LIST=1] [*]Arcane Archer [*]Banneret (Purple Dragon Knight + Oath of the Crown) [*]Battle Smith (Battle Smith + Forge Adept) [*]Berserker (Barb. features + Path of the Berserker + Path of the Battlerager) [*]Dragoon (Drakewarden + some Draconic Bloodline features) [*]Gladiator (Champion + College of the Sword) [*]Martial Artist (Way of the Open Hand + Unarmed Fighting Style Champion) [*]Monster Hunter (Hunter + Monster Slayer + Blood Hunter) [*]Phantom [*]Ranger (Horizon Walker + Fey Wanderer + Horse-riding Beast Master) [*]Scout (Scout + Spell-less Ranger) [*]Skald (College of Valor + College of the Battle Singer) [*]Soulknife* [*]Swashbuckler (Swashbuckler + Oath of the Open Sea) [*]Totem Warrior (Path of the Totem Warrior) [/LIST] [*]Guardian -- Strength, Constitution -- Brute, Soldier, Leader, Skirmisher [LIST=1] [*]Blackguard (Oathbreaker + Oath of Conquest) [*]Champion (Champion + some "generic" Battle Master manoeuvres) [*]Cavalier (Cavalier + Oath of the Crown + Horse-Riding Beast Master; No Spells but has smites, primal awareness, or manoeuvres) [*]Fey Knight (Oath of the Ancients + Path of Wild Magic + Fey Wanderer) [*]Hexblade (Pact of the Sword + Hexblade) [*]Paladin (Oath of Devotion) [*]Psi Knight* (Psi Warrior) [*]Runeguard (Rune Knight) [*]Ronin (Oathbreaker + Ranger + Samurai + Oath of the Crown + Banneret) [*]Sentinel (Path of the Ancestral Guardian) [*]Skinwalker (Path of the Beast + Circle of the Moon) [*]Spellguard (some melee Artificer features + Eldritch Knight + Bladesinger) [*]Warden (Oath of the Ancients + Path of the Storm Herald + Oath of the Watchers) [/LIST] [*]Expert -- Dexterity, Intelligence [LIST=1] [*]Alchemist [*]Armourer [*]Artillerist [*]Assassin [*]Inquisitor* (Inquisitive + Psionics) [*]Kensei* (Way of the Kensei + Battle Master) [*]Mariner (Swashbuckler + Rogue features + Unearthed arcana fighting style) [*]Mastermind [*]Maverick [*]Merchant [*]Nomad (Horizon Walker + Rogue) [*]Ninja (Way of Shadow) [*]Scholar (College of Lore) [*]Thief [/LIST] [*]Cleric -- Wisdom, Charisma -- Brute [LIST=1] [*]Alienist (The Great Old One + Circle of the Stars) [*]Avenger (Oath of Vengeance) [*]Channeller (College of Spirits + Grave Domain + Diviner) [*]Divine Soul [*]Druid (Circle of the Land, Nature Domain) [*]Dreamwalker (Circle of Dreams + Twilight Domain) [*]Exorcist (Arcana Domain + Oath of the Watchers) [*]Hospitaller (Life Domain + Grave Domain) [*]Iluminator (Light Domain) [*]Justicier (Oath of Order) [*]Mendicant (Oath of Redemption + Peace Domain) [*]Monk* (Way of the Sun Soul) [*]Moonpriest (Twilight Domain + Lunar Magic + Moon Domain) [*]Necrolyte (Death Domain + Way of the Long Death + The Undead + Circle of Spores + The Undying + Grave Domain + College of Spirits) [*]Theurgist (Celestial Pact + Way of the Cobalt Soul) [*]Warlock (The Fiend) [*]Warpriest (War Domain) [*]Witch (The Archfey + Lunar Magic + Twilight Domain+ Circle of the Stars) [*]Zealot (Path of the Zealot) [/LIST] [*]Mage -- Intelligence, Wisdom [LIST=1] [*]Black Mage (School of Necromancy) [*]Blue Mage (School of Illusion) [*]Copper Mage (School of Conjuration) [*]Gold Mage (School of Transmutation) [*]Green Mage (School of Enchantment) [*]Red Mage (School of Evocation) [*]Silver Mage (School of Divination) [*]White Mage (School of Abjuration) [*]Archivist* (Pact of the Tome; Generalist) [*]Beguiller* (Arcane Trickster; Enchantment + Illusion) [*]Mystic* (Pact of the Talisman; Divination + Transmutation) [*]Binder* (Pact of the Chains; Conjuration + Necromancy) [*]Warmage* (Pact of the Blade + Warmage; Abjuration + Evocation) [/LIST] [*]Prodigy -- Charisma, Constitution [LIST=1] [*]Astrologer (Circle of the Stars + Lunar Magic + College of Spirits) [*]Avatar* (Way of the Four Elements) [*]Courtier (College of Eloquence) [*]Bard (College of Creation + College of the Maestro) [*]Psionicist* (Aberrant Mind) [*]Sorcerer (various features from Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, & Wizard) [*]Spellscale (Draconic Bloodline + Way of the Ascendant Dragon) [*]Shadowcaster (Shadow Magic) [*]Swarm Keeper [*]Troubadour* (College of Glamour) [*]Wilder* (Wild Magic) [/LIST] [/LIST] Etc. Might expand this as I think of more classifications. I also don't like some of the names above (esp. Shaman, Witch, Troubadour) as they have connotations of stereotypes I don't intend to represent. These are more shorthand terms at the moment. [/QUOTE]
