D&D General why do we not have an armourless half caster?

[DEFCON 1]

honestly, I want to make an icon, something that takes those basic ideas into something that is just beyond the parts something more, damn I am going to have to learn to write at this point.

I will always give a thumbs-up to someone who decides to just build that which they want in D&D so they can have it, rather than just passively waiting for WotC to do it for them.

 

[DEFCON 1]

I mean with a new edition 2 years away...

They still won't get it. Because if WotC is going to introduce a whole new class to the base game, the Psion, Warlord, and arcane half-caster are probably all ahead of the unarmored half-caster for production.

Anyone who wants this class in the game produced by WotC probably needs a setting made that would have it as an important pillar of the setting design. Otherwise, there are other options on the docket coming first (if at all.)

Honestly they just need to stop Monks being "Monks", make them a Martial Artist in general ...

I wish I could like this one 100 times. Yes please.

Don't even make Monk a Subclass, shuffle Monasticism to a Background where it belongs: let Clerics or Paladins be Monks, not just Martial Artists.

YES! A "monastic" background applied to a "martial" character makes them ... a martial monk.

This really hit me when I actually finally got a chance to play instead of DM and made myself a Fighter with an Acolyte background. He used to live in a monastery and fights - he's a martial monk, but not a Monk.

I could homebrew up a subclass to do exactly what I want - I probably will - but that doesn’t mean I’ll ever get to play it. I wouldn’t even say it’s likely I’ll ever get to play it. Many dm’s will assume I’m just trying to powergame or have a “no homebrew” policy.

you assume it is not a compatible fusion with the arcane half caster anyway as they are still trying to make it less paladin and less ranger.

5.50, not a new edition. I would be my delicious blood.

We who want new classes and quality feats are orphans.

I crave something different something that opens up options and new themes even if only slightly.

maybe maybe not

since all three are higher on my list I hope so

I still don't know if it's 5.5 or 6e

I hope we at least get one as any new class means for more new possibilities.

why not just call it the next stage as that is all that is certain about it.
