[QUOTE="77IM, post: 8034975, member: 12377"] I think I'd want a consistent feel/theme for each element that runs throughout the subclasses. A fire-rogue should "feel" more akin to a fire-barbarian or a fire-cleric than they do to a water-rogue. [B]Earth:[/B] Resolute, direct, patient, practical, nurturing. [B]Air:[/B] Quick, clever, imaginitive, perceptive, deceptive. [B]Fire:[/B] Reckless, chaotic, emotional, passionate, energetic. [B]Water:[/B] Calm, harmonious, healing, mysterious, adaptable. ...and of course they'd have some overtly elemental powers too. For example, an Earth attack might deal the most damage, while the corresponding Fire attack has a small radius but catches things on fire, the Air attack blinds the target until the end of their next turn, and the Water attack heals a nearby ally at the same time. My other piece of advice to NOT try to design a subclass for each and every class and element. For example, maybe there just isn't a Water barbarian or an Earth rogue. Because if the superclass's story really clashes with the element's theme, the subclass will fall flat. Trying to force it would just undermine both the superclass's story and the element's theme.
