Re: [3.5] Fighter Remix: Doin' it old-school
@jiriku:
Exactly. But if all classes were Tier 3 then every class should be perfectly balanced to each other (in theory at least) :-)

Re: [3.5] Fighter Remix: Doin' it old-school
Insisting on this approach might somtimes cost you the loss of character concepts.
Problem with this approach is severe lack of symmetry.
The Beguiler actually revolves around 2 schools: enchantment and illusion.
Also, I don't remember ever encountering other suggested countrparts for the remaining 4 schools that withstood the test of time.
As for the classes you mentioned - they lose their effectiveness with level progression. Monsters become resistant to mental manipulation, damage can't keep up and undead become less and less impressive.Last edited by nonsi; 2016-08-27 at 09:47 AM.

Re: [3.5] Fighter Remix: Doin' it old-school
Yes. That's the design philosophy I followed when creating the earth dreamer, emberhaunt, storm lord, wavekeeper, void disciple, summoner, and shapeshifter classes. I also built the ritualist and magician to create lower-power versions of the generic wizard and sorcerer. It's a sad irony that the wizard contains so much versatility that it could be split into 12+ narrower classes, while the martial classes are so narrow that I could combine 4 of them into the remixed fighter.
Subclasses for 5E: magus of blades, shadowcraft assassin, spellthief, void disciple
Guides for 5E: Practical fiend-binding
D&D Remix for 3.x: balanced base classes and feats, all in the authentic flavor of the originals. Most popular: monk and fighter.

Re: [3.5] Fighter Remix: Doin' it old-school
@nonsi: advanced learning should help with that along with wands, staffs etc...
@jiriku: nice :-) and yes, the difference in versatility in the core classes is staggering.Last edited by tsj; 2016-08-28 at 12:34 AM.
