Base Classes

In this thread will reside every user-submitted base class designed by the Playground. When submitting your classes, please do so in the approved format, with no extraneous detail. Doing otherwise will result in a thread that is hard to navigate.

Entries should look like this:

[Tag] Class Name (http://google.com): A one-line explanation of the class.

For instance:
[Ftr] Jim's Fighter Fix (not a real link): A fighter that's focused on defense and protecting his allies.

That's it. Please provide nothing else and try to limit your explanation to one line. Please try to consolidate all of your homebrews into one post if you come back later to add more.


*Note: Please disable your signature when posting to this thread. To do so, uncheck the "show your signature" box under additional options when posting (or editing).*

A list of approved tags below. These will serve to help people search the thread more easily for the type of class that they are looking for.

Melee Tags
[Ftr] = classes that count as Fighter levels specifically and advance [Fighter] feats
[Martial] = initiators
[Gish] = having a spell list, but does not attain 9th level spells (Ranger, Bard, Paladin--i.e. capable of only 4th level spells)

If one of the above doesn't apply, try using one of these.
(Do not use both BAB20 and Melee--they are mutually exclusive)
[BAB20] = classes that have full BAB, but are not Fighters or Initiators (Barbarian)
[Melee] = LESS THAN 20 BAB, but primarily melee (including archers) with only a couple of spells or supernaturals. These should not have "Caster Levels" (Monk)

Casting Tags--Do not use if you max out below 9th level spells
[FullArc] = classes that progress full arcane casting at every level (Wizard, Sorcerer)
[FullDiv] = classes that progress full divine casting at every level (Cleric, Druid)
[ArcCast] = arcane casters that have potential to cast 9th level spells, but do not progress caster level at every level (a lot of prestige classes will fit here)
[DivCast] = divine casters that have potential to cast 9th level spells,, but do not progress caster level at every level (a lot of prestige classes will fit here)

Other "Magics"
[Psion] = psionic
[Incar] = incarnum classes
[Invok] = invoking classes
[Bind] = binders

Other
[Util] = primarily utility (Rogue)
[Craft] = crafting-focused (Artificers)
[Other] = other

If absolutely necessarily, you may tag your creation with multiple [Tags]. For instance, an Initiator that has Invocations would necessitate both tags in front of the class name.

If you have a tag that you would like to be approved, please suggest it on the Discussion Thread. If you have questions about the classification, please ask on the Discussion Thread.

Happy 'brewing!
