I'd like to see the Warlord getting a pass for sure! Pure martial are underrepresented and i think this class would have a unique place.

Invoker or a true Warlord.
Don't know how to call it, but something to represent a Dr.Frankenstein type of character?
I'm starting to feel like a thread title change might be helpful, like "What single new class would you like to see (that isn't the Warlord, 'cause we did that)".We did the Warlord already. We called it the Noble.
I've always (I mean, back to childhood) liked the 'scientist' or 'sage' archetype - basically the exposition character who explained the monster and gave the hero the knowledge/gear/McGuffin to defeat it. I've tried to do a character like that as Bard in 3e, and as a 'Lazy' Warlord build or Artificer in 4e. Bard & Artificer had too much magic, Warlord not enough knowledge skills, Bard & Warlord not enough material support options (Artificer a surfeit of them).The adventuring sage/expert who does not cast (many) spells or is not a pure alchemist would be interesting. Would also be good for other genres.
Or the Essentials 'Elemental Sorcerer' from HotEC, just not called a Sorcerer. 'Elementalist' or something would cover it. The key appeal vs an actual Sorcerer is simplicity, down at the level of the Champion. You blast things with your chosen element, you 'Escalate' (go big with your attack0 a time or few between short rests, tacking on an AE or extra/continuing damage or some thematic effect for your element, and you maybe get a feature or two that support the elemental theme.3) An elemental blaster class, sort of like a 5e version of the Pathfinder Kineticist. Definitely an overlooked niche in standard D&D that's also wildly popular, based on the Paizo forums.
Yeah, Morrus, but how 'bout a Warlord?[sblock]In EN5ider we made the Noble, our name for the Warlord, and it's one of our most popular articles ever.I'm not allowed to say. Talking about that class is restricted to a single forum here.I'd like to see the Warlord getting a pass for sure!

'Noble' is just such a specific name, and already a Background. I know you liked the class, personally, but, well...I'm starting to feel like a thread title change might be helpful, like "What single new class would you like to see (that isn't the Warlord, 'cause we did that)".![]()
