I'm not that much of an expert on Mythos, but that might be reasonable, depending on their HD size. Might need to be a Mythos in its own right? But Fantastic isn't too soon to get it... I guess?

Honestly, I would just call that an Excellency. "Get full HP every level" isn't particularly Mythos-worthy, but it is definitely something for an Excellency. Remember the guidelines that Xefas posted (which can be seen in the first post of the thread): Excellencies are where you would put abilities for a character that aren't necessarily story-worthy, but are still generally useful (as well as math-fixes).
@PeacefulOak, The Anakitos gets that as a Legendary, the Divine Prerogative of Invulnerability. As well +CON to AC. Just a thought
@Lanth Sor, I know exactly what you are talking about, and I weep. I'm doing my best to combine both Mythos and 5E concepts, and they are very disparate concepts. I'll look into Warlock full-plate, but the issue with Teramach Rage is that it the normal Barbarian Rage changes a fair bit in 5E. Apart from that, do you think trading archetype features for Mythos sort of works, or will I need to work out something different?
Natural 2 counts as a nat 1 i.e always misses, and maybe something that blocks auto-hit abilities. And if that isn't enough, 1/2 level+CHA Spell Resistance might do the trick
I'm in need of some serious help you guys. I'm well on my way to completing the Shtriga (the Mythic Witch), but I'm having a lot of trouble thinking of Legendary and Exalted mythos. What do witches look like on the higher end of the power scale?

As with like... half the stuff Xefas makes, I don't know quite what this is, but I am excited for it.
Devoted to a particular person, willing to cast aside their own dreams, their own LIFE for another's. They will give everything they have and even more for another. At least, that's what it looks like to me.
@7th, it's looking like the Mythic Bodyguard/Knight. Willing to defend and protect their charge or liege no matter the costs, and being able to withstand whatever comes their way to keep that person or ideal safe.
@Primal: I'd say that Legendary and Exalted witches start to become inventors and quest-givers, doing and demanding things that mere mortals wouldn't understand. A Fantastic Witch is someone like Circe, who turns people into pigs because they annoy her. Legendary witches are more like Medea, who starts to pull powers out of her hat and creates new spells/abilities for herself. Exalted witches are akin to Baba Yaga; basically a goddess of magic, surly and loathing of guests, but honor-bound to give their aid if someone actually manages to get past their weird traps and ridiculous requests.
Great. Thanks Adam. On a completely unrelated note, I'm looking for characters who were abducted and replaced with doppelgangers. Does anything leap to mind?
IIRC, this is the plot to the season 2 finale of Friendship Is Magic. A princess is kidnapped and replaced with a changeling just prior to her wedding day. I think there's something about... if they get married... there's genocide or something. I don't remember.
Also, I seem to recall your Mythic Hag having stuff to do with swamps? Have you considered swampy Legendary/Exalted stuff?
If I'm remembering, Primal decided to separate some of the Hag stuff from the Witch and make them separate. Then again, several of the Omphalion's Mythic abilities are lifted from the Kathados, so perhaps the Mythic Witch can retroactively lift from the Mythic Hag for some of their more eldritch options?
Speaking of, I really do like the Mythic Races and Mythos Bloodlines that have popped up. Those are definitely fun to do and see!
Just going by examples that are either really old or don't matter (Hate to spoil something):
In the best Kraven the Hunter story, he kidnaps Peter Parker, buries him alive, and takes up the mask of Spiderman himself. Ant-Man get's replaced by an Evil Robot duplicate in Secret Wars. The T-1000 in Terminator 2 does this almost immediately (and is a bonafide bad-ass). Mass Effect 2 has Morinth and Samara as optional examples. There's also the perfect example: Team Fortress 2's Spy.
On a completely unrelated note to your unrelated note: What would you want to do if you were playing an Animal Character in a campaign of Wizards, Druids, Teramachs, and Askopar? What sort of cool stuff should a Bear/Horse/Sparrow be able to do that its teammates cannot?
Hm. This one might be tricky. I'm looking for potential Changelings; that is, the ones who were abducted, replaced, and have to fight to get their lives back.
If you have something that's super spoiler-y, you can just PM me.
When I first saw that, I thought it should be a Mythic Paragon. It sounded cool, but didn't seem to encompass enough to be an Anthol all its own.
And another thing. I'm trying to inject madness into a class, but am having trouble with the base effect. Here's an example. I've got a mythos called 'Like It Never Happened' which allows you to "forget" an ongoing deleterious effect that is attached to you, negating it and all the damage it's done to you. In exchange, you lose bits and pieces of your memory, though they do come back later. The issue is the ability that says "Whenever you suffer from these manias, you..." and that's it. It grants you a bonus to Will saves, but beyond that I've got nothing. How do I give this more BAM BIFF POW?
Aside from being an Eoteras? ;)
Are you playing a shapechanger? Because the novel "The Changer" has a really good iconic shape-changer character. If you're going for a single animal, look up legendary versions. First nations myths and stories have a lot of interesting animal characters. The novel "Someplace to be Flying" has a really neat assortment of animal characters/characteristics.
Sleipnier, Guenwhyvar, that dog from that game about painting your enemies to death... take your pick and they all have their own awesome abilities.
Amaterasu is a wolf, which the title, Okami, translates to. The title, in English, is literally Wolf.
Amaterasu on the other hand is the Japanese sun goddess and sister to Tsukiyomi, hermaphroditic Moon Goddess, and Susano'o, god of storms. So she's about as much a mythic animal as any other god that can take an animal form. Much like the devil being able to take the form of a snake in the garden of eden.
Mythic animals are more like Fenrir from Norse Mythology, Ouroboros from Greek Mythology, and the Nekomata (cats that live a hundred years until their tail splits in two and gain magical powers) from Japanese Mythology, all of which are inherently animals that have become legendary or powerful in their own way. It's an excellent racial idea, but you'd have to have different ones catering to each animal.
Of course, this doesn't account for spirit animals like the Kitsune with their shapeshifting abilities and foxfire, but it's a decent point to make.
Alright, that sounds pretty solid. Not a shapechanger (Might give the option to grab another form, could fill one of those mythos spaces), so yeah, I'll see about looking into "Someplace to be Flying." I'm also tryin' real hard to keep The Inneskae and The Eoteras fundamentally different, while representing a similar function (Nature). The Inneskae is to the Eoteras what The Epifovian is to the Kreikiri. While they both have similar tools and motives to draw upon, they go about it in different ways, with different results, and can use them in different situations, distinct enough that having both in your party, there abilities may have some overlap, but they will be functionally different beasts altogether.
At this point, feels like I should just make a Xefas imgur album of all the classes I'm gonna make in the future, so any time I got an Idea for one, I can just put it down. Xefas, if you're reading this, how do you do it? Got so many banners up and you push out these classes like mad.
Ooooh I see! Do you have a thread up yet? I'll keep an eye on it to make sure I don't accidentally cross over what you're doing. That, and to admire more nature-themed awesomeness.
EDIT:I see what you did there. :DQuote:
but they will be functionally different beasts altogether.
Not yet. Hardest part of Mythos Classes is coming up with the Mythos (Duh, right?). And I'd like to have the majority of the class up and ready before I make the thread, otherwise we'll end up with another Fovian, which was pretty broken and I was super unhappy with.
If you ever want some assistance, just yelp for help! (Sorry, my daughter is watching Paw Patrol behind me, I couldn't help it).
A fun (unrelated) fact: The title of the game Okami is a pun. Ōkami is Japanese for wolf; however, the ending title of "o-kami" refers to a god; therefore, "Amaterasu-o-kami" or "Divine Goddess Amaterasu" is purposefully mis-read and reinterpreted as "Amaterasu Ōkami" or "Wolf-God Amaterasu".
The more you know!
Way better numbers than any of us are putting up (No offense, anyone, making classes is hard). And you got ideas for a bunch more, all of which look really cool, at least what we know of them (Was it the Cynosure who had the ability to "Hide an army in the Corona of their Ego while waving his/her cornucopia of genitals at the castle guards"?")
Oh, and here's an album of stuff I might make one day. Donk
That happens to Naruto a couple of times during the chunin exams.
So I have several major ideas on my to do list but some i need serious help.
To Do List:
Mythic "Warlock": Mostly just deals for others power to be used by self.
Mythic Armor: Still on the fence if wondrous items should be included as xefas stated its kinda multiple classes then due to gold ring vs gold armor
Archikos Rework: Just didn't become what i was intending probally make Archikos about primal energies/influence
Mythic Beauty/Ruler: This will be where some of the archikos goes plus just crazy domination. Think Aphrodite, Lilith, etc.
Mythic "Plant": This is where the plant based mythos will go from the archikos
Mythic Tinker: If you play WOW RPG you know the terror of the phrase "Ima play a tinker" then they design their own equipment. Examples are Zecker, Tesla, Daedalus, Da Vinci... i really dont know any no magic tinkers in anime
The girl who makes the main character's arm in Full Metal Alchemist. Bill, in the Pokemon series. I'm sure there are others.
