Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lanliss" data-source="post: 7096063" data-attributes="member: 6801219">Kind of a personal joke. The "Crusade" is converting the Long rest full casters to the Short-rest Warlock Chassis, because I love the Warlock chassis's flexible nature, while still being balanced and interesting. Not so much "fixing" as changing, then adding invocations. My first shot was a Cleric thread I have going, that I feel worked well enough to get started on another. It does amount to a bit of a power boost, since some of the invocations inevitably do more than the base class, but I do not think it is enough of a boost to shift the balance.Although, in this case I am making a large change in the form of the Wildshape move. That is a personal opinion thing, kind of a gut feeling that there should be more that makes the subclasses feel different. I think only having one able to shapeshift will help that a lot, and give me design space to make the Land Druid more interesting in it's own right. At a glance, there just isn't a lot that makes it "big". For example, at 3rd level the Land druid gets 2 spells. There are two spells that set it apart from every other druid. Meanwhile, Moon druid gets a huge boost in the variety of its wild shapes. I am thinking that the Land based invocations will help a lot, much like the Domain ones I have set up for my Cleric changes. Also, I just love the design capabilities of Invocations, and feel that more classes should have similar things. I often have an idea for a character that fits class X pretty well, but should have this one little thing that adds some flavor, and an Invocation makes for a great place to put that, as well as anything my players come up with. I can't really put it to words, exactly, but several of the classes feel much more enjoyable in my head with this style. That said, I actually feel like Wizard and Bard will be excluded from this style, because they both feel like they should recharge on a long rest, as their abilities feel like they should take time. All purely personal opinion.</blockquote>
