[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 7371813, member: 7635"] Which I think is the exact wrong way to go about it. Your not designing the class with Dungeons & Dragons in mind, your requesting it to be a tool for some Generic Fantasy Toolkit d20 game. It is certainly possible to design a low/no magic buffer-healer type character, but a.) It should be designed with a low/no magical setting in mind, so it doesn't have to compete with support casters; b.) probably be paired with a low/no magical version of the fighter, rogue, monk/martial artist, barbarian, paladin/knight, and ranger classes that similarly ramp down magic and magical effects; and c.) Probably should be a third party supplement or DMs Guild product rather than a supplement for official Dungeons & Dragons. However, that's my personal bugbear. I'd much rather see a Warlord who fits in the 5e game as is rather than one that either changes the fundamentals of the game assumptions OR can't carry his weight when compared to a caster. [/QUOTE]
