[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 8652766, member: 52734"] This somewhat reminds me of the “Hero” class I did for RPGMaker for the main character - a sort of Uber class that had a bit of the “big four” built into it. It was something you’d only want one player in the group to use - worked well for the video game if you wanted to try and do it solo without picking up other party members. In that vein, I’d like to see it drop Heavy Armor (those who want it could pick it up with a talent or feat), but add a talent tree that made it possible for the class to be a half-caster. In the casting department, when you choose the talent you choose the spell list you gain access to. Spellcasting ability probably should default to Charisma for the class. It could probably also use a damage spike talent. Something akin to Rage, Smite or Sneak Attack that grants some ability to directly boost damage. Precision Strike? Audacious Blow? Basically, make this a generalist, with the ability to lean into aspects of the big four - martial powerhouse (lean fighter), talented DPS (lean rogue), arcane troubleshooter (lean wizard), support healer (lean cleric). While the attempt to keep it one page is interesting, I think it would actually make more sense to expand it to have five subclasses, one for each of the big four leanings and a fifth generalist that is also super simple, and probably follows the class’s original intent.
