Homebrew DesignRoll up your sleeves and get working: there's lots of homebrewin' to be done! Post your custom creation for critiques or review those of your peers.
Buddy you're a boy make a big noise - Move silently not class skill
Playin' in the street gonna be a big man some day - req: Knowledge local some ranks, gender male.
You got mud on your face - req: Hide some ranks
You big disgrace - Can trade in Ex-Paladin level
Kickin' your can all over the place - req: Improved unarmed strike
Sing it! - ...
We will we will rock you - Level 1: +1 damage with slings
We will we will rock you - Level 2: The same.
Buddy you're a young man hard man - Level 2: +1 Natural armor
Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world some day - Something really good on the last level.
You got blood on your face - Level 3: Bonus to attack and damage when below 50% hp.
You big disgrace - ...
Wavin' your banner all over the place - Level 4: +1 moral bonus to attack for allies.
.....
That would have worked, yes, as would simply being inspired by it, or rearranging the lyrics. Sort of a moot point now, though, unless someone decides to use it later.

Well, a little variation in the theme could have been cool. How about combining three classes? Or another Gish contest? Or specifically Theurges? So many more options...
Out of curiosity, does it have to be two classes combined, or can it be more? And do they have to be base classes, or can they be prestige classes?

The theme is about as open as it comes mate, I don't know what kind of variation I could put on it Gish? Two classes. Theurge? Two classes. If you want to combine three classes, so long as you can take three class features (or more, one from each) and find ways to combine them for fun and profit, then by all means do so. It just makes it more complicated to write.
Has to be base classes; no combination of prestige classes please. Kind of takes what little "prestige" that prestige classes have left to them out of it.
Ooh. I've got one for this one. Didn't have time to finish this class for the last contest that this one fit with. Good thing I didn't post a version of it here.
The Dancer of the Threshold uses dancing and the musical arts to channel necromancy.
I love me some hybrid theory! Current plan is to do a Warlock/Warblade PrC, possibly for Warforged with a sprinkling of Xen'driken-Giant magic.
EDIT: Tenative plane is to call it "Iron Dragon of Xen'drik," although "Warmachine" is tempting.

Hrrrrrrrm. I'm going to be weird this time, and so I shall ask you all what you'd prefer me to make.
Your two options are:
A Healer/Dread Necromancer PrC Plague Doctor, with a dissolved oath (because oaths are for wimps) and the ability to both cure and propagate diseases, as well as the ability to give his friends beneficial symbiotic "diseases" that heal and enhance rather than harm.
A Marshal/Hexblade PrC that functions like a WH40K Commissar, simultaneously buffing his allies and debuffing his enemies with a Bardic Music/Screamed Threats type effect, only running on Intimidate checks (or Curse uses) instead of Perform checks.

Yes, that that's what my beef with the contest is; it's too open. Some restrictions would make a lot more entries a lot more interesting...

Well, that's kind of not the point of hybrid theory, sadly. Its open to make it easier, kind of a, "Hey, I've always wanted to write this up but never really had the gumption," sort of thing. Take one of the suggestions in the write up for the contest, and call that your restriction perhaps? I'd be happy to work with you. I'm off of work this week so I'll actually have some time this week to field questions and administer the contest.

I seem to recall a Ravenloft book that had something like this in it called the Dance of the Dead. Good read, I look forward to this.

Hehehe, I'd be down with either name but make sure that the flavor fits the name too :P Good idea though!

My vote for this goes to the Marshal/Hexblade, personally. Not enough love for either class.

Magitech Templar? >_> Is that what you're making or is that a homebrew class you're wanting to combine with Artificer?

I'd actually like to see the first one. Absolutely screams "Papa Nurgle." As for the second, I'd recommend combining together the Hexblade's Curse and Bardic Music into one action, adding new twinned effects and having the entire thing either run off of Perform (Oratory) or Intimidate.

NineThePuma, with statements like that make me want to call you "comrade." Here's hoping our ideas aren't too terribly similar.

I've always thought of it as being very much as a "first come, first serve" basis where whoever posts their ideas gets "dibs." For good or for ill, obviously.

Ok. Rough draft of the Dancer of the Threshold is up. I haven't yet finished statting up the Dances themselves.
Their are two potential serious issues that I'd like feedback on. First, should some of the levels also give +1 to bardic spellcasting? Right now, none of them do. I don't know if this would make more sense to have that or not.
Second, the save DC for Dances is non-standard. I explain their my logic for using it and how I've tried to balance it but I'm not sure this is actually that balanced. Input would be appreciated.
I'm leaning towards the fusionist (the companion one) since i actually have part of it done. Main thing i have to do is get the add-ons for the companion and touch up the actual companion.

Well, what to throw into the mix that makes minimal amounts of sense and has not been done to death?
will, tackled me a bit there actually...might take a few days to get a concept...my current concepts are a bit awkward with the following:
monk/sorcerer flurry-of-spells styles
reworked rage mage to make sense
monk/favored soul that uses divine blessing to enhance his body
All three are plausible, but I'm not sure about them, what do you think?
My vote for this goes to the Marshal/Hexblade, personally. Not enough love for either class.

Hrrrrrrm. That's one a-piece, so I shall now refer to the coin flip.......
EDIT: Lady Luck has decided that I shall make the Dread Commander! Heck, it's not like a Plague Doctor has been done before, anyway.
