Didn't there used to be templates people could copy for formatting homebrew classes? Also, I forgot how to do fancy tables, and the guide to tables linked in Notable Threads doesn't appear up to date.



I attempted to design a suite of classes. Something that felt like it covered the whole gamut of character concepts, more or less. I mean, as close to doing that as the original 11 classes in the PHB were.

I decided to make a grid, to make sure I hit each combo of theme and role. For these purposes, my themes were Arcane, Holy, Nature, and Nonmagical, and my roles were Squishy, Tough, and Balanced.

	Squishy	Tough	Balanced
Arcane	Eldritch Scholar Abyss (DPS/BFC [tentacles]) Inferno (DPS [fire]) Void (debuff)	Death Knight Necromancy (DPS/debuff) Reaper (DPS/self-healing) Undeath (tanking/resistances)	Cultist Blood (DPS/healing) Madness (buff/debuff) Shadow (DPS/stealth)
Holy	Priest Condemn (damage/debuff) Inspire (buff [off.]/healing) Protect (buff [def.]/healing)	Templar Cleanse (healing) Defend (tanking) Judge (DPS)	Shaolin Body Hardening (tanking) Redirection (dodge/debuff) Striking (DPS)
Nature	Witch Brew (healing/buffing) Nature (damage/BFC) Hex (debuff)	Shapeshifter Ferocity (DPS) Regeneration (tanking [self-healing]) Toughness (tanking [resistances])	Beastmaster Packmaster (more pets) Selective Breeding (better pets) Veterinarian (heal pets)
Nonmagical	Assassin Blades (DPS) Poison (debuff) Subterfuge (dodge/stealth)	Juggernaut Harry (BFC) Protect (hinder/punish attacks on allies) Withstand (tanking)	Berserker Retaliate (DPS [punish attackers]) Slaughter (DPS [standard]) Terrorize (debuff [fear])

I decided to go with names that would feel at home in an MMO, so evocative. And just for the heck of it, I made up names for skill trees these hypothetical classes might in this hypothetical MMO.



Then I did my best to translate those ides into D&D 3.5.

	Squishy	Tough	Balanced
Arcane	Eldritch Scholar Blaster 9th-level spells (fixed-list) Int d6, 1/2 BAB, Will, 4+Int Unarmored List	Death Knight Blaster/BSF 5th-level spells (fixed-list) Int d10, Full BAB, Fort, 4+Int Heavy Armor Martial	Cultist Blaster/Skillmonkey 7th-level spells (fixed-list) Int d8, 3/4 BAB, Ref, 6+Int Light Armor Simple+List

Nature	Witch Blaster/Healbot 9th-level spells (fixed-list) Wis d6, 1/2 BAB, Will, 4+Int Unarmored List	Shapeshifter BSF/Skillmonkey 5th-level spells (fixed-list) Wis d10, Full BAB, Fort, 4+Int Medium Armor List	Beastmaster Healbot/Skillmonkey 7th-level spells (fixed-list) Wis d8, 3/4 BAB, Ref, 6+Int Medium Armor Simple+List
Nonmagical	Assassin Skillmonkey Maneuvers Dex d8, Full BAB, Ref/Will, 8+Int Light Armor Simple+List	Juggernaut BSF Maneuvers Con d12, Full BAB, Fort/Will, 4+Int Heavy Armor Martial	Berserker BSF Maneuvers Str d10, Full BAB, Fort/Ref, 4+Int Medium Armor Martial

# full casters = 3
# 2/3 casters = 3
# 1/2 casters = 3
# maneuver users = 3

all casters have 1 good save
all maneuver users have 2 good saves

# of heavy armor classes = 3
# of medium armor classes = 3
# of light armor classes = 3
# of no armor classes = 3

Hooray for needless symmetry!



This is all very early and incomplete, but does anyone have any suggestions or comments?

I haven't started at all on spell lists, but I'm aiming for all the casters to know their whole list. Actually, that other thread about casters who know their whole list is partly what prompted me to actually post this. It's been languishing on my drive for quite a while. Was originally gonna summarize these classes in that thread, but instead they get a whole 15 posts in their own thread.

[JNAProductions]

Didn't there used to be templates people could copy for formatting homebrew classes? Also, I forgot how to do fancy tables, and the guide to tables linked in Notable Threads doesn't appear up to date.

So, there's a 5E Thread For Tables I know of. You could either copy and modify the tables, or try to look at the code and figure out how to convert to 3.5 tables.

Also, props to you for the ambitious project! Good luck!

[Elves]

here's a 3.5 mod of those tables, just extend it to 20 lvls.

Pardon the ignorance, but what's BFC, BSF and DPS ?

[nonsi]

Witch
. . .

Basically, the Witch is very well structured thematically.
Instead of Summon broomstick (which is rather cliche and too much kids-stories oriented), I'd give the class some kind of Advanced Learning, to give it the option to acquire the ability of flight.
Woodland stride seems very appropriate at that level.
Eternal Youth could go nicely at 14th.

Also, as a general note, you didn't specify what spells/schools the different classes have access to.

[Maat Mons]

Thanks to everyone who's responded so far.



Those suggestions for formatting the posts look good. But seeing them has reminded me of several things I omitted, like hit die size, skill lists, and number of skill points per level. I've already decided on hit die size and number of skill points per level. But I never put much thought into skill lists. I think I'll figure that out and then revisit beautification.



I believe I've gotten the tables sorted out now. Well, mostly. At some point I still need to get the "+"s and "th"s and things in place. ... And change the justification on most of the columns. ... But I'm going to be lazy for the time being, and put that off until later. My excuse to myself is that I might be changing a lot of the data in those tables before all is said and done.



BFC is short for Battlefield Control. It's used by some D&D players as a term for anything that makes it harder for enemies to be where they'd like to be. On the melee side of things, it typically involves tripping with a spiked chain. On the spellcasting side of things, it includes things like Entangle, Black Tentacles, and any spell with "wall" in the name.

BSF is short for Big Stupid Fighter. It's used by some D&D players as a term for a character that does little besides hit things and take hits. But usually the Big Stupid Fighter can hit things really hard and take a lot of hits. Another term I've heard is Beatstick. Maybe I should have gone with that one.

DPS is short for Damage Per Second. It's used by MMO players to describe a character that focuses on dealing damage. The name comes from the fact that such characters typically use Damage Per Second as the primary measure of how well they're performing.



I'm happy to hear that Witch mostly pulls off a consistent theme. When writing the class, at various times I was thinking of actual Wiccans, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, witches as imagined by the people who conducted witch trials, Little Witch Academia, and the sorceress from Dragon's Crown. So I was really all over the place.

I could definitely remove Summon Broomstick and shift Woodland Stride and Eternal Youth down. But I'm leery of Advanced Learning. Is there a specific, in-theme spell that I could add to the class list instead? Alternately, would it break the theme for there to be no in-class way to gain flight?

Spell lists are one of the biggest pieces of this that I have yet to start on. I'll try to get a pre-alpha draft of the Witch's spell list posted soon-ish.

[JNAProductions]

Moar formatting tips!

See that upper-leftmost button? That'll switch you from seeing the HTML code to seeing it like a post would. That should be able to help you much around in the tables a little better.

[Maat Mons]

We have a WYSIWYG option? I never knew.



As promised, here's a very rough draft of the Witch's spell list.

0th: create water, cure minor wounds, detect magic, detect poison, know direction, mending, message, purify food and drink, read magic

1st: burning hands, cause fear, cure light wounds, charm person, comprehend languages, disguise self, hypnotism, endure elements, entangle, obscuring mist, pass without trace, produce flame, shillelagh, shocking grasp, sleep

2nd: blindness/deafness, darkvision, delay poison, detect thoughts, flaming sphere, fog cloud, gust of wind, hideous laughter, hypnotic pattern, resist energy, lesser restoration, scare, scorching ray, spider climb, warp wood, web, whispering wind, wood shape

3rd: arcane sight, call lighting, contagion, cure moderate wounds, deep slumber, diminish plants, dispel magic, fireball, gaseous form, lightning bolt, neutralize poison, plant growth, poison, protection from energy, remove disease, slow, spike growth, stinking cloud, suggestion, tongues, wind wall

4th: bestow curse, charm monster, confusion, control water, crushing despair, cure serious wounds, fear, flame strike, lesser geas, remove curse, solid fog, wall of fire

5th: baleful polymorph, break enchantment, call lightning storm, cloudkill, commune with nature, control winds, cure critical wounds, death ward, dominate person, dream, mind fog, nightmare, sending, telepathic bond, wall of throns

6th: chain lightning, greater dispel magic, eyebite, find the path, fire seeds, flesh to stone, geas/quest, ironwood, repel wood, stone to flesh, mass suggestion

7th: greater arcane sight, control weather, mass cure moderate wounds, delayed blast fireball, fire storm, heal, insanity, spell turning, wind walk

8th: mass charm monster, control plants, mass cure serious wounds, demand, finger of death, horrid wilting, mind blank

9th: mass cure critical wounds, dominate monster, freedom, imprisonment, regenerate, storm of vengeance

[Caelestion]

How are you imagining that your spell points system works? Similar to psionics from XPH?

[Maat Mons]

The simple answer is "Yes, like psionics."

The more complex answer is, I'm using the spell point variant from Unearthed Arcana. But that comes with numerous caveats.

None of these classes are prepared casters, because I feel the way the spell point variant handles prepared casters is overpowered. Basically, it makes them into prepared casters, except with way more spells known, and they can change their spells known every day.

The spell point variant doesn't actually specify a way to handle metamagic. Rather, it specifiec two ways, and doesn't make either of them standard to the variant. I'm going with the one where appling metamagic increases the spell point cost. So like psionics, except without all the psionic focus nonsense.

I'm probably going to ditch the overcomplex method that the spell point variant uses for determining bonus spell points, and copy what psionics does for bonus power points.

[Maat Mons]

Okay, how do these class skill lists look?

.

I'd add Sense Motive to the Witch's list.
Witches are supposed to have powerful intuition.

Why does Juggernaut have Diplomacy?
That's about as incompatible is I can think of.

[Maat Mons]

You make good points about Sense Motive and Diplomacy.



Thinking more about it, Knowledge (nobility and royalty) isn't a very good fit for Juggernaut either. I wanted at least one Knowledge skill, but better choices might be Knowledge (architecture and engineering), for an understanding of fortifications, or Knowledge (history), for a knowledge of famous battles.

Looking back at Assassin, I see that the only Knowledge skill I gave it was Knowledge (local), which I don't expect anyone to take outside of a game that stays entirely in i single locale. Knowledge (nobility and royalty) would help to know who they're assassinating. Maybe Knowledge (dungeoneering), for all those sewers and forgotten secret passages that fantasy assassins seem to travel through.

And I forgot to give Berserker any Knowledge skills. I guess Knowledge (nature) and Knowledge (geography)?



It occurs to me that class skills could get really screwy if I try to use only the disciplines from Tome of Battle. Well, unless I abandon the convention that every class that has access to a discipline has that discipline's key skill as a class skill.

[Maat Mons]

Would it be a terrible idea to make the Martial Adepts into "fixed list" classes? What I mean is, the way Beguiler and Dread Necromancer (and all the homebrew casters in this thread) just get a predetermined list of spells known, instead of allowing the players to pick. Would it be a terrible idea to make martial adept classes that just get a predetermined list of maneuvers known? (And stances known, and maneuvers readied?)
