[QUOTE="Barastrondo, post: 5070295, member: 3820"] Lessee, what's been done in games I've seen... Fey pact warlock: "Mage/thief." A continuation of an old sneaky spellcaster, with a little bit of rogue multiclass, reskinned as new innovations in his craft. Shifter druid: "Werewolf." Fairly self-explanatory; been done by others, I'm sure. (For that matter, I've seen plenty of instances of the druid multiclass feat being reskinned as "you can turn into a humanoid animal-person, or that animal form, but not into any animal you want" to make low-grade were-bloods.) Vestige pact warlock: "Necromancer." The powers are those of conjured spirits, and the vestiges are those spirits bound into the necromancer's own body. Artificer: "Puppeteer." Black suit, long wires, all that. More mysticism than alchemy. Wild magic sorcerer: "Cartomancer." Derived power from a deck of cards, each major power a specific trump (such as "the Maelstrom"), and most powers with variable effects a result of drawing a random suited card. The wild magic energy affinity that changes daily was a result of a morning divination ritual, with the ruling card drawn determining the energy (you roll "fire," you drew the Dragon; you roll "poison," you drew the Assassin, etc.). Things that have been tossed around but not actually implemented in play: warforged storm warden (a lightning-powered "Frankenstein" golem), dhampyr assassin (vampire), swordmage (necromancer with spirits defending his allies), bard (Zhuge Liang-style strategist), seeker ("shrine maiden" sacred archer), summoner wizard (Culdcept-style cartomancer) probably some others I'm forgetting.
