“It’s probably Matt Mercer’s fault.”
There are numerous settings, some from WotC but many more from other authors/publishers. I have a bunch of them and some are really cool.
But…standard D&D classes often feel like an awkward fit. Many of the settings include new subclasses, but since most of a class’s power is built into the base class, that doesn’t change much.
Would you like to see settings come with custom-designed classes, not as additions to the standard list but as replacements? (Two examples are Adventures in Middle-Earth from Cubicle 7 and Beowulf from Handiwork.)
And the follow-up question is whether subclasses are really needed if such classes have such a narrow intended use.
Thoughts?
