[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 6583254, member: 37579"] The faerie hunter has a bit of a hodgepodge origin. I had the idea to make the spontaneous version of the eldritch knight that's more sorcerer and less wizard. The idea of having a more feywild influenced barbarian, the kind of barbarian and elf (or eladrin) might become, was part of the concept, but it likely owes something to the Pathfinder blooodrager as well. Based on the Unearthed Arcana article, I might rework the 10th level feature. The commander fighter was posted here earlier, and is included for completeness sake. It's a fighter with more of a dash of warlord. Ditto the investigator rogue, which you helped on earlier. The fey bloodline for the sorcerer was originally conceived as an enchanter build, but I decided to separate it from spells, so it could go for illusion or enchantment. Subtle magic that doesn't even seem like magic and the like. I'm a sucker for Neil Gaiman and similar portrayals of fey (Hellboy, Susanna Clarke, etc). I do wish I could have included a "cold iron" reference in faerie resistance, but that doesn't really exist in 5e. The elemental sorcerer bloodline and Primordial pact warlock came out of stuff I was expected with [I]Elemental Evil[/I]. When WotC didn't do it, I wanted to give it a try myself. The design of the Primordial pact warlock was influenced by my desire not to have 4+ different lists of new spells (especially with so many elemental spells already being on the list). That influenced the chaos flavour and element shifting. I wasn't happy with the PHB bards. There was the warlord-esque valour bard and the wizardy lore bard. There didn't seem to be a trickery/deception bard or an enchantment focused bard or a buffing/support bard. I brainstormed a few other builds and this was the first to really take shape. The grim trecker ranger is an urban ranger. Less happy with the name, but "urbanite" or "city dweller" didn't fit and "street walker" was right out. [/QUOTE]
