[QUOTE="GlassJaw, post: 7970331, member: 22103"] Some cool ideas in this thread. I love this kind of discussion - bringing more customization to 5E - and there has certainly been a lot of discussion on it. When you see a lot of design work that begins to overlap, it means that a) a lot of people are thinking along the same lines and b) it's probably good design. It illustrates that 5E (because of bounded accuracy and a host of other reasons; the UA articles have given a lot of insight as well) is ripe for an a la carte character creation system. The lines between the classes have been already been blurred (arcane vs divine for example) and abilities across the board are extremely modular. Balance is so much easier with 5E's core mechanics and numeric scale. So when I hear "mystic" I think light armor, simple weapons, full caster, mix of druid and cleric spells, combination of abilities from the Knowledge domain and wizard Divination school but without turn undead or channel divinity, etc, etc. Could even sprinkle in some monk or nature abilities. It's so easy in 5E and I wouldn't be worried about balance at all. The hard work is a) coming up with a universal progress path for all classes and b) categorizing and organzing every single ability.
