Fixed that for you.

Oh god I don't even -- Base classes taking themes from 4chan /tg/ threads.
In actual seriousness.
I support bad juju and heroes of note. I'm against the idea of a contest for class fixes, Creature Feature, and Itemizer because those feel too narrow in scope.
I also submit the themes of SCIENCE! and Shadows. Both of those have a liberal number of interpretations.
I like the idea of SCIENCE!, but I wonder... could we perhaps do something with horrifying things, things of MADNESS!?
With either, you can of course get a combination of the two. :smallamused:
Into the elements- elementally themed classes
Master of blank- classes that are master of something.
greater then the sum of its parts- hybrid classes. Like the paladin, or the duskblade.
Sword and Sorcery: Combining the Martial and the Magical
Slack & Hash: classes themed after a particular food.
For the record, apparently "juju" was a European term used to describe West African religions in a somewhat derogatory manner. If the contest goes through, it'll be named something else to avoid conflict with rules and with individuals who might be offended.
Note that this is actually a response to sengmeng's question on whether it's politically correct; this is just the latest post with the word in it.
That'd be fun. :smallsmile:Quote:
I also submit the themes of SCIENCE!
This is my favorite idea, though.
Muehehe. :smallamused:
Creature Feature probably won't go through because of Race Race; at least, not for a while. Big Dipper also will most likely never go through because this is a base class contest, not a contest to see who can make the best levels 1-3 with some cool filler content past that. Itemizer would be pretty hard for a whole contest of base classes. I think it'd work better for the Potpourri, Pathfinder Grab Bag, or the Prestige Class contests.
Temotei, are you ok with me changing the link in my class so that it's no longer broken?
What about Gentlemen of Leisure: Classes that do nothing, but do it splendidly?
It looks like Heroes of Note, Something Bad Luck, Slack and Hash, SCIENCE and MADNESS have all been seconded so far.
From the chart in the old thread, Inner Planes, Time, and Alternate Magic all had two votes each.
Alright, so. There was a 2nd-place tie, so I broke it as I would have for first place. Quellian's "awakened" has an honorable mention due to this, since it would have been the third place class had I not tie-broken the other two.
Congratulations, everyone. Good contest again. :smallsmile:
*Grumble*Another kneecap for sirpercival*Grumble*Going to have to put them somewhere...*Grumble*
Darn, I was hopeful for my a first place finish. Oh well.
So, when does the next one start?
Now. :smalltongue:
I chose SCIENCE! because you can go in a lot of directions with that one and madness is optional.
EDIT: One second wait for this post. Wat is gong on, guise.
This means I will have to come out of retirement to make sure sirpercival does not attain a fourth win in a row (come on, people). Honour demands it.
Luckily the theme is being favourably inspiring to me.
Is it silly to scream FIRST? also, I actualy do have a concept for this one. It is based of the idea I saw in a thread(introducing modern concepts to a normal D&D game), but expanded. This should cover Sir Boss, and a random WWII era commando in equal measure.
I'm gonna throw my kneecaps at the contest. 'Brewing seems fun.
Yeah, I'll have to do the beating of sirpercival in this one.
My honor demands it! (Plus, I have sources. Creepypasta-ish sources.)
Wow... um... thanks, I guess? Lol.
Honestly I'm happy if my success is inspiring people to new heights of awesome homebrewery.
And thank you for the votes, this was a close one with a ton of good 'brew. Now, let's go figure out some SCIENCE!
Is anyone else tempted to write a Baker class who's cake is so delicious that people go through all sorts of trouble to get at it?
Just me?
Ah, well.
...oh come on. My first serious entry in a competition for years and Morph's coming out of retirement? What a welcome party. :smallyuk:
Eh, what the hey. Never won a damn thing in my life anyway. Best of luck, folks. I'm thinking to build a class that works somewhat similarly to a barbarian, but instead of raging they enter a state of perfect clarity. The longer the clarity lasts, the more powerful the abilities they can access, riddling out the secrets of the universe each time. At later levels they'll gain the ability to use a diluted version of the same ability for utility power.
EDIT: You need to update the link to the chat thread in the competition OP. It still goes to the second chat thread.
Thank you :smallbiggrin:. I actually spend a big deal of my time reading, and some books are easier to get in English than in Spanish. And I have a couple of English degrees that "certify" that I speak English. So I guess I do speak it. I still make a lot of silly mistakes though.
Alright, I think I don't really have any choice, given my background, to write anything other than an Astronomer class. So, that's happening.
Posted the beginnings of my class. I'm aware that the name Savant is already taken, but I couldn't find a better one. Any suggestions are more than welcome. I may be less terse when not sleepy.
