Tales and Chronicles
Jewel of the North, formerly know as vincegetorix
I recently noticed that I was spending a lot of time homebrewing new archetypes in a vacuum, trying to add to the already extensive list of archetypes given by WotC an ever increasing number of subclasses to fill any niche a player would like to play with an eventual/theoretical future character. I concluded that it would be easier for me to just remove all archetypes, wait for the ''archetype first level'' for each player and ask her/him to tell me how does she/he imagine her character moving forward, and homebrewing a specific archetype for her/him.
