Heretic of The Seventh Circle
So, I’ll dig into my thoughts more deeply later, but I want to know what others think about the following idea;
Making characters with Sidekick classes, and then adding stuff like feats for races, classic abilities that these days life as class features, etc, at tier levels, could allow a character to feel like their leveling up in their culture’s iconic traditions, becoming a cultural paragon.
The idea relies on the premise that the sidekick classes are a bit less powerful and thus leave room for additional benefits.
What do you think? Is there room to do something interesting here?
The Wood Elf Warrior, for instance, would get Two Weapon Fighting and Archery, eventually, and some ranger stuff related to wilderness and animals, and the Wood Elf Magic feat. The Mountain Dwarf Warrior would get Defensive and Great Weapon Figting, Toughness, maybe some Barbarian stuff, and maybe some artificer infusions?
Edit: got my wires crossed a little, didn’t mean to imply it would be a racial paragon. The Wood People would get elf stuff, and probably forest gnome and Firbolg stuff, and you would just choose whatever cosmetic lineage you want. The idea being that you’re a Protector of The Wood.
