[QUOTE="Ratskinner, post: 7045914, member: 6688937"] Okay, so my personal answer is "None". 5e basically hits all the bases for me already. I could have lived with a few more subclasses (sorcerer, I'm lookin' at you) here and there, but I think its pretty good. However, I'm not the only one playing the game....so with that in mind: Warlord Okay, I played a Warlord in 4e. Good fun. I feel like the "concept" can be done with existing mechanics and some re-flavor, at best a Fighter subclass. Additionally, I think trying to make a full class out of this schtick with 5e's comparatively reduced tactical ruleset is a recipe for disappointment. Especially since there appear to be a lot of folks who (collectively) want the Warlord to do [U]everything[/U] it could do in 4e, mechanically. However, assuming that someone can wizard up a satisfactory version of it that doesn't end up making the (already fuzzy) math/balance of 5e go too wonky. Sure, why not? Psion Seems like a good candidate for Sorcerer subclass, to me. However, many folks seem hung up on spell/psi point mechanics or somesuch....whatever. I can always say "no" at my table. 3e's 10-to-the-eighty-third Prestige Classes No. Just, No. Most of these, honestly, were just some wonky mechanics spliced onto the chassis of a base class for a few levels.
