Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Anyway, I'm technically not sure whether or not I'll get Brahmin done in a week (man, it's been a long time since I worried about the Brahmin) but I probably won't. I would need to make, what, four or five incarnations a day before I was happy with how many I had? So, meh. Unlikely, possible. Unlikely.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Whew! Finished my conversion of the Nameless One (from the Planescape: Torment computer game), mainly because I decided to excise all the Faction feats I had planned :D. Looks like we all have hefty entries for this contest!

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Largely-placeholder version of the class post has been made. Will finish it up... Probably post-contest, sadly, but it'll probably have the bare minimum to function before then. Have to do a good deal of number crunching and comparisons and analysis of really old homebrew (okay, not that old, only 2012, but still) before I can work out the subsystem and, from there, features. Because the two are fairly strongly tied together.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Okay, so I've got brahmin to an actually playable state - a minimum viable product, I guess. I want more incarnations, but they're not strictly necessary I guess. Got a while to add some finishing touches. Any requests or suggestions for incarnations (I guess people request things from me? That's a thing now?) that people make in the next few hours will probably be worked in, even if they're just "It needs something to do in [situation]".

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Speaking of minimum viable products, the Skaberen needs one more association. Can't quite decide on what to do for the Incarnum Association for the pair, as I'm torn between a Necrocarnum Zombie based one, using the Totemist meld list as a semi-placeholder preliminary to get it "out the door", with the Necrocarnate's stuff for soul assimilation added, and a Roguish sort using the Soulborn list (and the somewhat obligated lower progression) with precision damage and an etherealness ability (not the spell, the act of becoming Ethereal) that progresses to full on flight. And 7d6 precision damage, whatever it may have as a clause.
...Skaberen is probably going to be way too prone to ending up functionally t2 (the game breakers for the genuine qualification are beyond the progression available) on accident due to list expansion over time. Because the arguments for Wizard being t1 come very close to applying (it's routine ability swapping rather than everything on call, but on an hourly-with-corpses instead of daily-with-spellbook basis. And Wizard needs Magic Mart to seriously one-up Sorcerer, particularly given the difference in practical versatility between prepared and spontaneous), and 5th level spells are often enough to wreck campaigns. Especially with multiple lists and even power sources potentially available. For now, it seems solidly t3 to me, as the baseline features work for both nearly all healing needs (provided the Heal skill is high enough to deal with tissue rejection, even reviving the dead is entirely doable. With a note as to fixing the failed check problems) and melee combat, with some skills appropriate for intrigue, then the existing Association... Basically gives it Wizard casting of a third its level and a Skeleton Warrior of half its level, with Conjuration as an auto-banned school.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Well, I wasn't feeling too inspired until the very last minute, buy it hit all at once and I type up the Phoenixborn today... on my phone. Never doing that again. Forgive me for not putting in columns for powers known and highest level power; that would have been just a bit too tedious. If you must see them, it's identical to the Wilder class.
Obvious inspirations are the dragonborn from Skyrim, and the phoenix force from X-men.My Homebrew (Free to use, don't even bother asking. PM me if you do, though; I'd love to hear stories).

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
...Well that just embaresses me, now doesn't it? Then again, I filled out some 1,300 cells of tables without being able to just reuse them, and had to work out stuff for a subsystem at the same time without being able to purely ad-hoc it because the topic is way too breakable. Also, bundles of other forums. Like, way too much focus splitting.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Definitely agree. The idea was still forming the day of the deadline; just an hour to breathe and then go over it again would have probably led to double the feats and some better streamlining/scaling of the class features. Usually I try to post a skeletal but playable class early and then just add support like feats and class-specific spells/powers/whatever after letting it stew for a bit. Tried to go through that whole process in six hours this time. Still pretty happy with the result, but it needs and deserves more love after the contest.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
My vote. Still have an idea rattling around for an Amazing Horseman. Or maybe a diviner who calls on various advice animals. Or maybe a light mage who specializes in attacking the darkness. Or hey, why not Zoidberg?
But for another option: meta. Just the idea of being really meta.Last edited by sengmeng; 2018-04-04 at 03:51 PM.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
I'm gonna vote memes, cause I can actually think of something for that...

I already did the ultimate meme class, though!

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
I think I'm already outnumbered but I'll go for Everyday Heroes! I'll make a tier 1 noncaster if it kills me :D

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Everyday heroes does sound more interesting than memes, I'd say.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
...Okay, Sengmeng, can you explain the spelling and grammar issues that led you to place Skabaren below Nameless One? Because it seriously bugs me, as I had no spelling errors according to the GiantITP inbuilt spellcheck and the grammar should be at least entirely technically correct, though perhaps it's stilted. Do you just dislike the word choices?
I also find it funny that nobody has come forth to sling **** at me for having grave robbing corpse-stitchers tend towards morally neutral, with the justification that the demographics of those able to become one are heavily slanted to those who will pull an Edgelord Tortured Monster while graverobbing and butchering corpses on the street. Then again, Chaotic people can get away with that, because Chaos is a matter of rejecting authority, rather than malice. Quite helpfully, the Association setup means you can build around a single level of another class as a source of Associations, such as snagging Paladin 2 with Serenity
As for the next contest, I'll go with Memes, because I didn't do anything for the idiom-based one and there's a supply of some high-end silliness.

I'll put my vote to Everyday Heroes as well.
If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

Re: Base Class Contest Chat Thread V: I Scored at the Top of My Base Class
Wow, memes got outvoted hard. May I suggest, somewhat selfishly, that the title be "Hey, I know that guy"? That would capture the idea of everyday heroes, but my idea for a meme class could be adapted as well.

I've tried to reach Temotei and got no response. I hope he's okay. If no one objects, I'll put up the next contest thread by Monday.
