[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8269212, member: 6796468"] I mean... Rather than building an entirely new class/set of classes, which don't really account for the variety of planeswalkers and spellcasting characters we see in Dominaria and other worlds, how about making it all into a secondary progression Feat-Tree? Give everyone a "Free Feat" at level 1. And allow them to grab one of several feats. Each feat has it's own requirements but the most basic one is this: Magicaster (Walker) Choose one of the five primary colors of magic (Black, Blue, Green, Red, or White). You gain a number of Mana Points of that color equal to your Proficiency Bonus, plus the number of Walker feats that you take. You can use these mana points as part of a special action called the Arcana action to create effects based on your access to a given color. Taking this feat gives you access to the Tier 1 Arcana of your chosen Color. You recover your entire mana pool at the end of a Long Rest. You can take this feat up to five times. Each time you do, select another color. Doing so does not increase your mana pool, but allows you to use your pool to create mana of any color you have access to through the Magicaster feat. Then have a "Tier 2 Arcana" feat for every color. Tier 3. Tier 4. However high you wanna go. And create a bunch of different spells and effects with different casting costs... Make "Gold" spells that use multiple colors requiring greater investment into your mana pool... Each one a "Walker" Feat. Maybe throw in a feat that allows you to regain Spellcasting Modifier in Mana Points on a Short Rest? Now everyone can be a Planeswalker. [/QUOTE]
