Message: <blockquote data-quote="JohnSnow" data-source="post: 5271966" data-attributes="member: 32164">I'm going to crosspost a list I put up on rpg.net: secondary roles for every class. Note that this is nothing but wild and totally unfounded speculation. I don't even really think they'll do anything LIKE this, but it's fun for whacky speculation. And if I get any right, I can call myself prophetic...<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Cleric: Warpriest (leader) & Adept (controller)Fighter: Knight (defender) & Slayer (striker)Rogue: Thief (striker) & Swashbuckler (controller)Wizard: Mage (controller) & Pyromancer (striker)Druid: Stalker (controller) & Keeper (leader)Paladin: Guardian (Defender) & Justiciar (striker)Ranger: Scout (striker) & Guide (leader)Warlock: Hellbound (striker) & Fey (controller)Where appropriate, I ripped names from level titles in the 1e PHB. Obviously, the fighter is actually true. The others are...silly. I deliberately made rogue the martial controller to let the rangers play "Aragorn."You'll notice this list is replete with strikers, because, IMO, striker is the most fungible of the roles. Having the wizard and warlock double in each other's secondary seems a bit silly, and frankly, I'd love to see a "wizard leader" instead, but I just don't see that happening.This is intended to cause controversy. Let the hell break loose.(And Mearls, if you're watching and I'm right, I didn't sneak a peak at your notes. Honest.)</blockquote>
