[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8535641, member: 5889"] Its always a bit hard to seperate what should be a true new "class" versus a subclass or even just feats, etc. I think the occultist/witch concept can be done with the warlock chassis pretty well. We already have the Eldritch knight and hexblade for swordmage type concepts (though I think there is a more magic/less martial blend that could be a class). The "scholar" class could make some sense, similar to the old factotum or archivist concepts, someone who wields knowledge as a weapon. You could have a [B]bonded magic item class.[/B] There is a common fantasy motiff of a person bonded with an item and the two growing stronger together. I think you could seperate an [B]"elementalist"[/B] from the wizard/sorc chassis. Aka is you really want to be just chucking fire or ice and nothing else, this is the class for you. That's a very common concept. I could see a [B]priest[/B] class, which really strips out the warrior aspects from the cleric and focuses on pure divine power. A [B]master of forms (3e binder) [/B]type class can be fun. The 3e version was bad, but the concept of summoning different forms of power granting you different abilities is a neat concept that you do see in fantasy. A[B] class focused on auras[/B] is another class concept that is untapped. [/QUOTE]
