    Default Base Class Contest XXXXIV: Power Word: Homebrew Voting Thread

    Welcome to the voting thread for Base Class Contest XXXXIV: Power Word: Homebrew. Voting will consist of each voter giving a first, second, and third place vote for three separate base classes. Anyone can vote, and in fact, entrants must vote to qualify for victory.

    A first place vote is worth three points, a second place vote is worth two points, and a third place vote is worth one point. You may not vote for your own class.

    You are encouraged to include reason with your votes, though this is not absolutely required.

    The class that ends up with the most points wins the challenge contest. Voting starts now and will continue until 8:00 (EST) on October 12th.

    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.

    1st place: Guide
    2nd place: Scribe
    3rd place: Word Teacher
    78% of DM's started their first campaign in a tavern. If you're one of the 22% that didn't, copy and paste this into your signature.

    Generation 21. Every time you see a generation, copy it into your Sig and add one. This is a social experiment

    1st - The Guide
    This was a very close vote for me, and it really came down to the fact that the Guide seemed to be a more consistently designed class. It knows what it wants to be and all the parts of class come together to achieve that goal. My primary gripe with the class is that most of its abilities are fairly passive, but it does have a few ways to actively participate.

    2nd - The Scribe
    The Scribe is an interesting class and I do think it does have a lot of potential, but it feels like several of its abilities could use a more thorough explanation (Technical Author and Scholastic Author in particular).

    3rd - The Linguist
    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.

    1st - Lexitheurge. Excellent and detailed writeup!

    2nd - The Scribe. Is a distinct archetype, and Packrat is marvellous. :D

    3rd - Linguist. Needs a bit of polish but looks promising.

    1- Lexitheurge - I really like the divine classes that fill the mage/priest role better then clerics, and this is almost about being closer to the divine as equals.
    2- Guide - I see this seeing a lot of play.

    Honorable Mention- Speaker For the Dead - Like the idea but the lack of spell list makes it unplayable
    Honorable Mention- Linguist - Formatting was not complete, and only 2 essences were done.
