Message: <blockquote data-quote="dmhelp" data-source="post: 8432128" data-attributes="member: 7025338">I was thinking of trying out these customizable classes as an alternative to the base classes (so no Paladin/Revised Wizard, but Revised Cleric/Revised Wizard would be ok).This merging of classes allows new archtypes such as:The heavy armor martial artist zealot that rages.The fiend pact arcane caster with metamagics and a spellbook to prepare spells from.The trickery cleric that wild shapes and uses the druid spell list.The metal armor wearing shepherd druid that learns eldritch invocations instead of wild shape.The unarmored champion strength rogue sneak attacking with a greatsword while granting bardic inspiration to teammates.It is assumed that most fighters will choose ki or rage (which could be restrung as a Grit stance for RP purposes) at level 2 (action surge is mainly there as a legacy option and is also added as a rogue option). A revised fighter “monk” has some trade offs for gaining 3rd/4th attack, d10 HD, increased customization, and potentially transitioning to single attribute dependency; people that prefer the old features could play the standard monk.---Revised Fighter - use Fighter except as follows (ASIs still at 4/8/12/16/19):Armor: medium armor & shieldsSkills: Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Persuasion, Religion, Stealth, Survival1 Choose Heavy Armor/Second Wind, Favored Enemy x3/two skills, or Unarmored Defense (AC 12 + [str mod] or AC 13 + [dex mod]; no shields); Choose Martial Arts (damage increases at levels 5/11/17; may use while wearing light armor [or heavy armor if chose Second Wind] but not with shields), Reckless Attack, or Fighting Style (+2 ranged weapon attack damage, +2 two handed melee weapon attack damage, Dueling, or Two Weapon Fighting; at level 11 TWF offhand does double base weapon dice; at level 17 damage bonus increase to +3 or TWF offhand does triple base weapon dice)2 Choose Action Surge (1/short rest, increasing to 2/short rest at level 11), Ki (ki points = class level with Deflect Missiles, Flurry of Blows, Patient Defense, and Step of the Wind), or Rage (damage bonus increases at 9 and 16, rages increase at 3/6/12/17/20; may perform in heavy armor if chose Second Wind)3 Choose subclass from Barbarian (requires Rage), Fighter, Ranger (ignore additional spells), or Monk (requires Ki, Martial Arts, & Unarmored Defense)5 Extra Attack, Fighter Technique6 Fighter Technique, Ki-Empowered Strikes (if chose Martial Arts)7 Subclass power 29 Fighter Technique10 Subclass power 311 Extra Attack (2)13 Fighter Technique14 Fighter Technique15 Subclass power 417 Fighter Technique18 Fighter Technique20 Extra Attack (3)Fighter Techniques:Brutal Critical (increases to two dice at level 13)Danger SenseExhaustion Resistance (requires Favored Enemy or Second Wind;
