[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8088179, member: 6802378"] I have also thought about something like the shifter class from Pathfinder but I suggest the name "nagual". [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagual[/URL] I imagine this class like a remake of the totemist class from magic of incarnum, but to change the powers she had to summon totem spirits with a game mechanic like the vestige pact magic, and maybe some powers would work as primal martial-maneuvers, nor at-will neither once-encounter but in the middle, you could reload with special actions for the fight. [URL unfurl="true"]http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20050907a&page=3[/URL] Other times I wonder about a class what add monster traits spending points like the prestige class Demonbinder from "Drows of the Underdark" [URL unfurl="true"]http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20070430a&page=3[/URL] Today the main strategy by WotC is to sell modules. The production of new bluff(lore, background) is too linked to multimedia projects (comics, novels, videogames, toys, media productions) and today players who want bluff only need to read the free fandom wikis about their favorite IPs. For 3.5 Ed they sold a lot of books about crunch, with lots of prestige classes, magic item, feats, spells.... but they notice their customer don't want to spend their money into lots of serie B titles some some pieces of AAA titles. D&D players don't have enough money to buy more books, or are an older generation without enough time to play because they are too busy with their works and family lives. WotC has to sell the best crunch, something 3PPs can't offer. Each new base class is a lot of work, and not only the power balance, but a fun gameplay and the right favor to can be used in fiction for D&D as multimedia franchise. In this decade we may see the psionic mystic, the warlord, the shaman, the martial adept, and in the last years they can dare some risks as the remake of the incarnum soulmelders. --- Paizo has published new base classes for Pathfinder 2, and 3 more for Starfinder and one comingsoon. The second videogame of Pathfinder will have a lot of base classes. Could WotC to hire Dreamscarred Press as an outsourcer company to create the 5th Ed of the psionic powers? Saying 15 class are enough is as saying DC or Marvel need to sell only 15 titles of comic series. [/QUOTE]
