[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7804142, member: 6716779"] Well there are a lot of stupid 3pp classes for 5E so let's add one more. The stereo typical grognard as a class. What should it be good at/do. Whatever it does it has to be simple IMHO so champion might be a good place to start conceptually. Grognards never die so the 5E Barbarian and 4E warden conceptually could be a good place to start. Having good saving throws is another OSR place to look. The 5E monk gets proficiency in all saves. So some type of martial class, good at tanking damage, ends up proficient in all saves and mostly passive abilities. Oh a weapon style probably level 2. d12 hit dice, not rage that reduces damage, perhaps proficient in strength and wisdom saves as it's difficult to change their minds because AD&D and B/X are just that damn good. As silly as this may sound it's better than a few class concepts IMHO. Brainstorm thread;). [/QUOTE]
