Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
Nine days for Jormengand, Lanth Sor, sengmeng, and bekeleven to vote.
EDIT: On themes, I like those ideas. Any of those could work, though I lean toward the new themes.

My theme submission is Incompleteness.

Win by only writing 20% of your class features?

*Is waiting for next class contest*
I have so damn many ideas... and my mind works in a broken enough way to warp them into basically any theme. Can anyone jump in, or is there some sort of 'whitelist' thing?

Anyone can participate and anyone can vote. Restricting people would not only be uncool, but against the forum rules.

Good. Didn't know about the forum rules bit, but the reason I asked is because there was a list of people who hadn't voted yet. Was that list for people who made an entry who still needed to vote?
At any rate, my vote for the next theme is Dabbling, in the form of having the option to grab stuff from a bunch of different sources. Like, a class that picks from Arcane and Divine spells, as well as Psionic powers, but all to one list of 'stuff' slots, or one that acts as a grab bag of off-kilter stuff like Infusions, Soulmelds and Warlock Evocations. Or a half-caster for multiple spell lists at once, or a 'build-a-class' setup. You probably get the idea by now... Basically, bundles of stuff that they can never match a fully focused class in, but they get to snag stuff from a bunch of sources. Look up Dabblemaster and Trisossiate, for examples.

Yeah, if you entered the contest, you need to vote in order for your class to qualify for a place.

I know, I saw that bit in the voting thread.

Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
Morphic, you may wish to reread the Skill Chip module. (It doesn't stack with other module bonuses. Also, no skill increased by a module is a class skill.)
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
As a theme, I suggest The Unknown or Song Titles.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I suggest Questionable Historical Accuracy As a theme, making classes representative of figures in myth, legend, and history, with the flair of D&D.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
How about "separation"? Breaking things into component parts? Cutting people in half? Splitting the party? Swarm subtype?
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I second historical "accuracy"
I want to make Spartans who fight in diapers and slow down time.

Well, there are luck bonuses and badly-tuned tricks... You can have a class themed around incompetence that's still useful. For example, a class built around incompetent minions, or around forcing enemies to be incompetent, or being a lucky fool. Incompetence doesn't mean uselessness.

Personally I'm having a hard time deciciding between a lightning mage based on Tesla and a historical revisionist class that supports the party by making the enemy less effective retroactively

Never saw as much invader Zim as I might have liked, I was mostly thinking spoofing American history textbook writers.

In the game of Incompetence the most anime shenanigans Wins.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I also submit the theme of Words. Truespeech, words of creation, diplomacy+bluff, etc.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I'm split Words or Incompetence....Choices...hmmm.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I have a part-build class for incompetence, ready to spring on you. Words will probably inspire more truespeak-related nonsense from me.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I'd probably do something like a Thu'um user for words. Incompetence make me thing of the guy so incompetent the universe bends to his will. Its ork with K thank you.

Out of pity, I assume.
Oh, a concept I found that might help with making a class built on incompetence is subconscious psionics. The idea being that the class can only use powers on specific triggers, with little obvious signs that it's psionics making it work. So you have this bumbling fool just stumble through life, with some set of situations making them do things in unlikely ways with little explanation.
-
Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
I'm not sure what I'd do for Incompetence... maybe some kind of Marshal x Factotum which works on removing it from others? Or maybe something which gains competence in some area at the cost of incompetence everywhere else? I dunno. I feel like the theme is far more specific (= limited) than some of the others, but maybe I just haven't thought about it enough.

Re: Base Class Challenge Chat Thread IV: All Your Base [Class] Are Belong to Us
Let the Dueling Psychic Morons loose and watch the world turn into candy land. As they debate with a frog which flavor of loli-pop taste better.
Also congrats for last goes winners.

I already made that class :smallbiggrin: (though granted it's a PrC and not a base class, but still...)
