Message: <blockquote data-quote="doctorbadwolf" data-source="post: 8478464" data-attributes="member: 6704184">yeah the captain has a lot of room to grow, and one of my inspirations is how I run leader type enemies, where they use legendary actions to allow their whole team to move and do something. Techniques would vary by class, but I don’t want to repeat 5e exhausting list of little abilities, necessarily. Not sure yet where the balance is, there.   The assassin is strongly influenced by both 4e Assassins, and a key ability would be “Lethal” which lets you knock a target to 0 when your attack drops them to HP equal to or less than your assassin level.   For sure. Mechanically, I’m still seeing the Presence aura I proposed in the Marshal thread, and a couple basic gambits, and then some strong rest based “rituals”, and some kind of strong “lead the charge” type ability.   One thing I like the idea of is the “War Sage” archetype, who is a scholar and poet, and has cool downtime research stuff with benefits when adventuring, and eventually gets a library and a couple scholars to do research for them. An alternate artificer would be nice. I’m not sure I have a strong handle on what the Truenamer would do round-to-round but I’d be happy to help design it if you’ve got a solid pitch. Oracle and Geomancer are very sensible ideas. Swordmage, Swordsage, Mystic, there’s a lot of ways to go. Martial Practices, yeah. Anything from a hidden bivouac to a meditation ritual that enhances the reflexes or senses, etc.    I wonder what we can do to let magic and techniques be a little more…malleable?</blockquote>
