Base Class Challenge Chat Thread II

[Amechra]

I'm going to leave all DnD boards until late May, to help preserve my sanity.

Adieu.

[MammonAzrael]

Amechra, I don't know if you're still reading this...but if you've really pulled out, would you mind deleting your two posts on the submission thread?

@ Temotei - So...what's goin' on?

@ Temotei - So...what's goin' on?

... We still have 14 days of contest left. *twiddles thumbs*

[MammonAzrael]

Yes...But I'm curious if he finished looking over my class or not.

[unosarta]

Oooooh. Nevermind.

[Temotei]

Short answer: No.

Long answer: I started, but being sick today for school hasn't helped my homework situation. College classes really do carry a lot of that, don't they?

With that said, I should be finished in time for you to make a rebuttal and some edits, as well as for us to go through that process again if necessary.

No worries, school and health always come first.

[MammonAzrael]

So, did anyone ever get a chance to critique the Ascetic?

I'd like to go over each of the other entries myself this week, assuming I can find the time

[MammonAzrael]

Well the contest ends tomorrow. I don't think I'll be able to critique the last too entries, sorry. They're just so large. You both obviously put a lot of work into them, and I think you should post them in their own threads after the contest ends - they deserve to been seen and read.

[Temotei]

Mammon: I'm really sorry. I tried to make time to critique, but I haven't been able to take the time to really pout around on the internet for a while now with a ton of things coming up and taking place right now. I'll see if I can look at it soon, but since the contest is over, it'll have no effect on your results.

[MammonAzrael]

Don't worry about it. I feel just as bad for not being able to get to the other submissions myself, but sometimes the time availible just isn't enough.

[MammonAzrael]

Voting thread?

[Temotei]

Here we are. I've been far more busy than I thought I would have been this week. Ai.

On Challenge VI: What are some themes or ideas you'd like to see implemented, everyone? I could come up with one of my own again, but I'd like to get some ideas from you all before I put up a thread this time.

Morth: Add a recovery method or state that your class has none and you'll be golden for voting. For now, you're in the list, but the edit should be done within a few days, if possible. If you don't edit, I'll just assume there is no recovery method.

[dragonjek]

How about...

A class based on science (Technology! Mad Science! Normal Science! Alchemy! Fake Science! Magitech! Etc.!)?

A class involving creating an entire unique system of magic?

A class requiring a formal education?

A class that is based on language, rune-working, Truespeaking, the Words of Creation, Black Speech, the written word, etc.?

A class based on the spirits, the dead, souls, etc.?

A class that has an object or companion required to work to full potential?

A class that you can only take if you were born with it, or if you were cursed/blessed, or some accident made you have it--not something you can learn?

A class based off of a part of nature--not nature as a whole, but a specific aspect of it.

A class with spellcasting, but that cannot cast spells over 6th (or 4th, your choice) level?

A class that requires others to be present or used in some method to work at their full potential?

A class based on deception?

A class relating to dreams?

A joke class?

A class that relates to or has a connection to a certain creature or type of creature?

A class that is involved with the nobility in some fashion?

A class based on psionics/soulbind/mysteries/etc.?

A class that must be made using only abilities that already exist in a published WotC book?

A class that must be made without using any abilities--even spells--that have ever been published in a WotC book?

A class that must have every ability start with the same letter?

A class that engages in melee combat?

A class designed to protect?

A class with connections to the planes of existence, or to a specific plane?

A class that originated from a certain race or culture, and is rarely found outside of it?

A class that is connected with the gods, but does not cast divine spells?

A class that involves the character changing into something else, be it becoming a lich ala Dread Necromancer, becoming an outsider like the Monk, transforming with Wild Shape like a Druid, or anything else the creator may think of?

A class that must take damage using at least one of its class abilities?

A class involved with manipulating time?

A class designed for a specific campaign setting?



Sorry, that's all I could think of. I hope one of the ideas helps!

[Morth]

About a recovery method, I didn't want him to have one. The idea was that they have only have so many options to balance out the other stats.

Edit: I fixed it boss!

[Amechra]

A class based of personal perfection.

A class where you do something nonmagically that is normally done with magic (Necromancy, for an example)

A pacifist class. That doesn't suck.

A class based entirely around the physical form?

Every ability name must be a line from a x many line long poem, whose title is the name of the class? (screw it, now I want to make the Jabberwocky!)

[Morph Bark]

A class based off Disney princesses.

Which isn't a joke class.

And totally kicks ass.

[YouLostMe]

I second this statement.

[unosarta]

I call Mulan. She was always the coolest princess... even though she technically isn't a princess? I don't get it either...

[Temotei]

I like a lot of those ideas. Shall we hold a vote or should I just assume that Disney Princess is the best idea ever and everyone wants to participate?

[Derjuin]

I vote disney princesses though I have no idea which one to pick or how to make the class NOT a joke...

[MammonAzrael]

So...voting over? New contest ETA?

[dragonjek]

You know...

Disney owns Marvel now. So "Disney Princess" actually covers... a lot of really, really badass stuff.

Truly. There might be more well-known superheroines than that list, like Storm in some of the universes she exists in.

They're not a part of the Disney Princess line of franchise though, but you could simply re-interpret the concept.

Hey, I'm down, considering it was my idea after all.

[MammonAzrael]

I think it would be a very jokey competition. I'm not sure if I'd have anything to submit, especially since most of the princesses could easily be represented with commoner or expert.

But don't let me stand in the way of fun!

[Morph Bark]

I already have ideas cookin' about making the class centered on the dress and other clothes.

Yeah, it would be a little jokey. But remember: the best serious classes are the ones that can be played silly and the best silly classes are the ones that can be played seriously!

I like that philosophy.

Plan on there being a thread by tomorrow night.

[Morph Bark]

Bump for great justice thread postiness maybe?

[Temotei]

Oh, my. I forgot to post a thread after my internet had problems a few days ago. I'm sorry, everyone. I'll get one up quickly.

[Lord_Gareth]

This month's theme should be guns >.>
