[QUOTE="ezo, post: 9323214, member: 7037866"] After our session today we chatted about the the classes in D&D, what is there, what is missing, etc. I know some people want fewer classes, some want a lot more, but I think the majority are pretty happy with what we have, or maybe just 2-3 more classes or so. What classes (or subclasses) would you add? A short description for what you might add would help with possible variants--different names of the same class. I'll update the OP, but I'm curious what there is out there besides what we have now: [LIST=1] [*]Artificer [*]Barbarian [*]Bard [*]Cleric [*]Druid [*]Fighter [*]Monk [*]Paladin [*]Ranger [*]Rogue [*]Sorcerer [*]Warlock [*]Wizard [*]Warlord [/LIST] Any takers? [hr][/hr] [B]Suggestions so far:[/B] [LIST=1] [*]Arcanist/Warmage ("Wizard" + more cantrips - spells) [*]Archivist/Sage/Scholar (A sage with a focus on lore and language who buffs their party) [*]Ardent (psi-cousin to clerics/paladins) [*]Battlemage (fighter/wizard NOT EK) [*]Beastmaster (? "pet class", single pet?) [*]Chosen ("Warlock" + more invocations - spells) [*]Diplomat/Merchant [*]Dragon Shaman [*]Duelist (An urbane dextrous warrior wielding repartee as deftly as a blade) [*]Priest/Apostle (non militant) [*]Psion/ Mesmer (will points caster) [*]Psionic Mystic (??) [*]Scout (mobile stealthy skirmisher) [*]Shaman [*]Shifter ("Druid" + more wildshapes - spells) [*]Skald (warrior bard) [*]Swordmage (arcane half-caster w/ elemental theme) [*]Warden/Huntsman (A non-spellcasting defender of the bond between civilization and nature) [*]Witch (Arcane + Primal) [*]Scion ("Monster class" - become the monster?) [*]Pendragon [*]Marshal (same as Warlord??) [*]Savant (genius who relies on ingenuity, planning, and keen deductions) [*]Esper (Psionic class created by [USER=6796468]@Steampunkette[/USER] ) [*]Wielder (bonded to a powerful artifact) [*]Elementalist (living channel for elemental matter and energy) [*]Cavalier [*]Pugilist (unarmed bare-knuckles bruiser) [*]Swashbuckler (skill expert of maritime) [*]Occultist (skill expert of magical concerns) [*]Dragon Knight (warrior with Draconic powers) [*]Illusionist (illusion/deception focused magic) [*]Warder (aburation) [/LIST] Some (very broad and loose) groups I think are: Warmage, Battlemage Swordmage, Skald, Spellblade Psion/Mesmer, Ardent, Psionic Mystic, Esper Shaman, Dragon Shaman Archivist/Sage/Scholar, Diplomat/Merchant, Priest/Apostle Scout, Warden/Huntsman Shifter, "Monster class" [LIST=1] [*]Beastmaster (? "pet class", single pet?) [*]Chosen ("Warlock" + more invocations - spells, STR focused) [*]Duelist (An urbane dextrous warrior wielding repartee as deftly as a blade) [*]Witch (Arcane + Primal) [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
