Morph Bark's Homebrew Tier Compendium

[Amechra]

Once the list of Vestiges has been completed, I was thinking of expanding the Bind Vestige feat tree to have options for every applicable Vestige.

But, on a different note... can you tier the following?

The Bemäntelter Schatten
The Convoker
The Salvager

[DracoDei]

I know I was surprised (or something) at your tiering, but I'm kinda confused that Guardian of Minds isn't on the list in the first page.

[AttilaTheGeek]

Can you re-tier my Temporalist? I've rewritten a good amount of the class, and the class features table is now packed full of stuff.

Also, if (when?) it is tiered, will it be added to the OP?

[Zaydos]

Since the base class challenge is finally finished and I can post it separately I'd like to offer up Jinnblood to be tiered. Aimed for something in Tier 3/High Tier 3 ranged with it.

And because I'd like your opinion on the class even if it doesn't get tiered Dream Crafter. This one was more of taking an idea and doing what I could to make it work without a specific tier I was aiming for.

[ngilop]

a few of these ive listed previosu (Witch Doctor comes to mind) but im posting again with hope that moprh does more than just mention my homebrew in passing and actually tier's it this go around.

my Ninja please

my samurai

My witch doctor

My Primal

My Soul Blade

My healer

my grappler

My monk

and lastly

My Hexblade

I am aiming for 'tier' 3 for them but 'tier' 4 will suffice.

[Rebonack]

For some giant monster city-stomping action check out The Protean Chimera.

Technically based around a modified version of Wildshape, this guy plays sorta like a lycanthrope early game and plays like Godzilla late game. In combat they can battle field control with the use of trip, grapple, and any other fun toys they can pick up with Chimera Form. Out of combat they make a pretty solid scout.

I finally made a base class, so I figure I should post it here.

The mender. They heal.

[Legendxp]

I have a jester class that I've been working on. I'm wondering what the current tier for it is, since I haven't included spellcasting yet. I'm hoping for a tier 2/ tier 3 class, once I've implemented the spellcasting.

Here's the link (in case the above one didn't work)

A very good idea.

Once you finish it, I'll happily review it.


The quotes below include some classes I've decided to take another look at later, and I'm putting it here mostly for myself so I can have an easy reminder later down the road.

The Salvager

Dream Crafter. This one was more of taking an idea and doing what I could to make it work without a specific tier I was aiming for.

[DracoDei]

One of the Blue Mages in the first post or three has an extraneous asterisk.

[Alabenson]

Would you be able to tier my Elemental Adept class? It's an elemental themed invocation user a la the Warlock, aimed for about Tier-3.

[Zaydos]

It seems to be already there on borderline tier 3-4.

[Temotei]

Yeah, Morph's been adding a few lately. Whoo!

[toapat]

considering you had already looked at it, will you finish tiering my most recent paladin re-engineering, as i have finally acknowledged the question you asked a while ago and answered it, and filled out the skill list with a few things i missed.

[Alabenson]

Huh, I didn't notice that. Honestly, I didn't expect to have it tiered unless I asked first.

[Aldurin]

Noticed that your Homebrew fixes section is empty, so I'll throw my Dread Necromancer fix at it to get it started.

[qwertyu63]

Note regarding the mender: it has moved. The new location is here.

EDIT: Also, I have another class to be looked at. It is my attempt at bumping up the fighter, uneventfully named the fighter.

[asdflove]

Could you tier my re-written bard and paladin?

Edit:
And the aristocrat?

[Morph Bark]

Huh, I didn't notice that. Honestly, I didn't expect to have it tiered unless I asked first.

I can be sneaky like that, when I got time and want to Tier.


I need to remind myself that I should add a few tags later on that Person_Man used in his niche tiering for official classes. I've thought of adding minionmancy and control before, but the latter can be hard to judge at times. It would mean needing to dig through all the classes again, so this may not happen anytime soon.

[Temotei]

I'm willing to help sort through for the purpose of tags. In fuzzy cases I can let you take over. That is, if you'd like me to help.

That'd be great. I'm currently more focused on analyzing other RPGs in order to make my own (see here; today I'll be digging through three different Cthulhu RPGs), so any help (on either project) is very much appreciated.

I wanted to add Battlefield Control, Dominator, Thief, Summoner and Trapfinder. Battlefield Control as simple Control, Summoner and similar ilk as Minionmancy. Dominator could potentially fit under either, but I guess it's more fit as Minionmancy. Or maybe both, even. Thief and Trapfinder are clear-cut as they are, they wouldn't even need much additional explanation.

Lots of classes with the Scout tag will qualify for Thief and/or Trapfinder, as I originally factored stealth skills and trapfinding abilities into my judgement on whether to give a class the Scout tag.

[Legendxp]

I just finished my soulsword class. Anybody want to tier it?

EDIT: I wanted to apologize. After some playtesting I decided to rework the class a bit. It should be just about finished now if anybody wants to have a look. Complete with powers and meldshaping!

[Gnomes2169]

After a bit of playtesting, it was discovered that the Sanguine Knight is only really effective in games that have living enemies. Yes, it's very much possible that you will not run into any of them over the course of a campaign, especially if your DM is using homebrew things and actively avoiding living stuff to fit the setting. So... it was theorized that the Sanguine Knight is actually a tier 4 class, but tier 3 against living stuff. I'm shooting to make it a high tier 3/ low tier 2, so expect quite a few things to be modified shortly. (The addition of SR will be the largest thing, and Blood Bonds are going to do more than make the SK a meat shield... which was what the character I made was basically turned into due to nothing being alive and some very, very favorably broken rulings for familiars/ casters >.>)

[CryWolfCorrupt]

Can you take a look at my Shadow Shifter base class and give me some input/tiering? Its my first homebrew but I am currently working on another one, the Strategist (I don't like WIP and will post it once it's been written in MS Word ) but I would love some input on the Shadow Shifter since its my virgin project.

[Zman]

I humbly offer up my line of fixed classes for your Homebrew Fixed Classes Section.

Zman's Balanced(More) 3.5 Classes

Spoiler

Show

The aim is to bring the base classes of 3.5 to Tiers 2-4. This will result in an increase in power and versatility for some and a decrease in raw power for others. WIP. Note, the goal is to keep the existing architecture in tact where possible. These fixes will not be perfect, but they will go along way to making the game play better.

Core Classes
Barbarian Fix
Bard Fix
Cleric Fix
Druid Fix
Fighter Fix
Monk Fix
Paladin Fix
Ranger Fix
Rogue Fix
Sorcerer Fix
Wizard Fix

NonCore
Beguiler Fix
Duskblade Fix
Warlock Fix
Warmage Fix
Wu Jen Fix

Minor Magic Fix

[Sampatrick]

Could you tier this, Morph Bark?

[Adam1949]

Would you be so kind as to give my Crueroclast a tier? It's still needs some fine-tuning (and playtesting), but as of right now it's playable from 1-to-20, and you commented on it previously. Thank you in advance!

[UserShadow7989]

Sorry to add to what appears to be a rapidly growing backlog, but could you give me a tiering of my Doll Maker? I'm aiming for a solid tier 3. I've been tweaking/refining it since it first went up, and I'm hoping for an idea of where it stands before I apply any further big buffs or nerfs.

[toapat]

This is a trickle, go back and half the queries have been missed. Its best described as a small planet orbiting a newly born star

I'll take that as a compliment.


I'm currently steeped in work to resolve my application to a new school, so I won't be able to set myself to Tiering until I have completed it. Feel free to continue to post requests, or even comment on others' work with an estimation of your own in the meantime.

As always, stay 'brewing, my friends.
