Hello fellow EnWorlders! Malcolm here, looking for your feedback on a new build my team and I have started to put together for the Fighter; the Rampart Soldier. I have included the current incarnation of the class, and will update it as frequently as warranted by the progress we see here. Below is a breakdown of the class concept, our goals, and what you can do to help.
Our goals with this build include:
* Make a viable ranged build for the fighter class that is both fun to play and a reasonable (but not overpowered) alternative to the ranger. This will be presented in the Essentials style.
* Provide a writeup of the class from levels 1 to 30, including a paragon path and feats to help bring the Rampart Soldier to life in your campaign.
* Organize everything so that it is clear, clean, and easy to read with art available to make the project look nice.
What you can do to help: If you're interested in supporting this option, please join us in the discussion of mechanics, themes, and other aspects of the project. Your name will be added to the list of contributors with a big thanks from us for helping to create an enjoyable new direction for the Fighter class.
[h=1]RAMPART SOLDIER[/h]Martial Striker
Key Abilities: Strength, Dexterity
Not every man or woman who can shoot a crossbow is a skilled ranger. Some are just soldiers, the same as any guard with a greatsword, or a battleaxe andshield.
Rampart soldiers are masterful archers and spearmen specially trained in the use of ranged weapons. The strength they can put behind pulling a bowstring,turning a cranequin, or throwing a weapon makes them as dangerous as any hunter on the field of battle.
Strong races appreciate the rampart soldier for his ingenuity in combat. Fighters of this kind don’t wait for a perfect shot or a moment when they cangain some special advantage. Instead, they take action; often shooting firstand asking questions later. That may not always be the best answer, but it gets the job done.
[h=2]CLASS TRAITS[/h]Hit Points: You start with hit points equal to 15 + Constitution score. You gain 6 hit points each time you gain a level.
