Wow, this thread certainly got a lot of posts, it certainly seems like people are interested. I think I am going to go through with this contest. Now all we need is a ruleset, which I will start working on right now, and a theme. Here are some of the themes that have been mentioned so far. Why don't we all hold a vote on what we want the next theme to be? We can all pick the three of our most favored choices and rank them in order from most favored to least favored. If that theme is someone's first choice that theme gets three points, if that theme is someone's second choice it gets two points, and if it is their third choice it gets one point. The theme with the most points will be the one we are going with.
- Elemental based
- Pet classes
- Classes based around pacts
- A class which represents a monster as a PC character
- Non-casting classes which aren't martials either
- Incarnum users
Here are my personal thoughts on each of the subjects and how I would rank them.
Spoiler: My votes
Show
1st choice: Classes based around pacts
2nd choice: Non-casting classes which aren't martials either
3rd choice: A class which represents a monster as a PC character
The four elements system is over-used as enough as is, the pet class theme is focusing more on mechanics then roleplaying, and this whole incarnum business sounds terribly broken if applied to 5e.
