[QUOTE="Garresh, post: 7041266, member: 6836323"] The pure of heart who can call out to the good in even the most evil of creatures. Examples are Luke Skywalker vs Darth Vader, and Frisk in Undertale. The healer who draws the wounds and pain of others into themselves. Examples are in various folklore, Lost Years of Merlin, Wizard's First Rule, and all sorts of fantasy stories. The demonologist who deals with forces beyond his or her control, only barely maintaining a safe handle on the magic and threatened by utter annihilation if they fail to maintain their stability. Examples are pretty much *any* story where a deal with the devil is struck, and any fantasy setting where evil spirits and devils can be conjured and bound to the caster's will. The pure-hearted friend who bears the burdens of others, not so much magical as much as simply wise beyond their years. Their mere presence seems to keep others from straying from the path of good, and though they are not masters of blade or combat, they somehow make those around them stronger. Example would be Samwise from Lord of the Rings, whose combat abilities were pretty piss poor, but somehow he made Frodo infinitely stronger against the temptation of the ring, and was incredibly wise and kept others stable when the weight of their burdens wore them down. Without using magic or incantations. The fool who is unpredictable and seemingly chaotic, but has a method to its madness. Examples are widely varied, but can include the Drunken Masters from that old Jackie Chan movie, the Jester from Devil May Cry 3, The Joker from Batman, Deadpool, the Comedian, and pretty much any "Mad" character who has survived well beyond their life expectancy. None of these archetypes are easily realized in 5e without massive amounts of work and an absolute ton of reflavoring. I think any one of these could become their own class and would be unique enough to stand apart from the existing lineup. [/QUOTE]
