    Post [3.5] Vote Up A Class Concept! (VOTING CLOSED; See Results!)

    I want to homebrew, but I'm out of ideas. So, I'd like to invite you guys to vote on different aspects of a class that I will then make within a few days. For those of you who follow Legend, by Rule of Cool, this is similar to the vote up a track poll. You can post both thoughts and votes below. The categories you can vote on are as follows:

    Spoiler
    Show
    Tier: What tier should this class be? I'll only make between Tiers 4 and 2, since 1 and 5-6 would be examples of bad homebrewing...

    Theme: Monstrous, Masked, or Machine.

    Role: Melee, Support, Gish, or Skilled.

    Miscellaneous: Wrathful, Prideful, or Disciplined?

    Monster this Class is Most Like (pretty loose idea, but I thought I'd throw it in here): Doppelganger, Ogre Mage, True Dragon, or Hound Archon.

    1 of 4 Randomly Generated Words that I'll have to use
    in the creation of this class:
    Backbiter, Equipoise, Lamasery, Kingship.

    By the way, a lamasery is a monastery of lamas (Tibetan or Mongolian buddhist priests). Dictionaries are helpful...


    Sooo please take the time to vote! Also, feedback on this is appreciated. Keep in mind that pretty much everything besides the tiers and role that you guys vote on was randomly chosen (or at least made up on the spot). I'd rather this not turn into a debate as to what I should've included for voting. Thanks

    Final Votes:

    Do you have a deadline for the votes (I saw 'current' votes, so I assumed it was still going)?

    I Guess I'll throw in my two cents:

    Tier: 3

    Tier: 2 Just because its not easy to make and not very many brews fit solidly in this tier.
    Theme: Masked. Zorro all the way.
    Role: Gish. I love em.
    Misc: Disciplined. Because no one else.
    Monster: ..... True dragon?
    Random word: Kingship. Wayy harder than backbiter.

    Enjoy I look forward to what you come up with! If your still bored, I would suggest opening a request thread, but be warned, it can get crazy! If your not up to that, NeoSeraphi made one rather recently that he didn't get to finish. You could ask him if you could use some of the requests he didn't get to.

    As of now (NOT FINAL) we have a wrathful/prideful Tier 3 machine doppelganger of kingship. That should translate into an interesting class...

    Sorry I would've given a heads up but I lost internet access for most of the weekend

    ****

    The base class I will be creating will be...

    Tier 3

    A gish

    Have a machine-theme

    A prideful feel

    Be similar (either thematically, mechanically, or in some miscellaneous way) to a doppelganger

    And have a theme of kingship.

    All in all, I'm very happy with these results and I hope to make something cool It might not fit perfectly within these strictures, but I'll do my very best!
