[QUOTE="Tales and Chronicles, post: 7547775, member: 6871653"] Hey guys, having some time to spend, I decided to write down some ideas I had to modify some class features to make them more interesting (from my own opinion, of course). I'd like if you guys could give it a look and tell me what you think of them. Some points: - Its just for fun: no, my players havent been consulted. I'm a player for a short while and wont be DMing for a month or two. - Dont check the typos, I wrote them in English but the whole document will be printed in French for my PHB. Thanks in advance!
