[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7041184, member: 6704184"] Sidenote question: how are monks borderline innapropriate for a fantasy setting? edit; I don't think I ever gave my answer to the OP. Captain (warlord, but with an influence of Noble, as well) Shaman Binder or other dedicated summoner. A class whose primary focus is summoning. Don't care if it's one thing at a time, or a final fantasy style "summon this thing, and it wrecks stuff, then disappears" Schlick, or some combination thereof. Swordmage. The various subclasses do ok at it, but they also show why a full class dedicated to it, from the ground up, would be great. I'd prefer full caster, perhaps warlock style, with ranger HP and proficiencies, and limited spell list, or something like an arcane monk, with spell points instead of Ki, Int based, magical wards based "armor", etc. could include a second take on Arcane Archer Assassin. It's been a PHB class, and the rogue subclass is a poor substituted for past incarnations. Runepriest. Or not a priest, bc why does it need to be holy? Runesage? I'd accept this as part of a Sage class. Thinga the game needs that needn't be a class: an even more Shamanistic Barbarian a more Barbarian-like Ranger a Shamanistic/totem ranger Nature/Primal Spirits warlock urban ranger Probably more, but it is late.
