Artificer. Sage. Vates. Tribune.

You're stretching with that one. It's not really wizardry if it's mechanical.

The others are legit, or as legit as they can be for me giving you vague terms in the first place. I'd argue Bards/Vates would go as Fighter/Mage better

I hate this meme.

>>55182936
It's true, though. Things like sneaking and searching for traps(and arguably picking locks) are what every adventurer should pick up to one degree or another. You don't need a specialist for those.

>>55182461
>Artificer.
Mage variation.

>Sage.
Mage variation if magical, or Expert, if you do the smart thing and go Adept/Expert/Warrior for more freedom to build a character, instead of using the overly-specific Rogue in the skilled slot (Adept vs. Mage is more of a personal preference in terminology).

>Vates. Tribune.

hardlocking archetypes into ability kits that are so-called "classes" is the most cancerous thing to exist
yes, it allows for better interaction between crunch and fluff, but that's a double-edged sword at best - unique mechanics for different classes needlessly overcomplicate the game when applied poorly to the overall game design

I would keep character level and class level separated into two, generalist, specialist, and advanced classes

Generalist should be the only full class, with uncapped levels, and everything else should be modular 3 level kits, with beginner, intermediate and master being the levels.

Everything outside of generalist is called a specialist kit, and classes that mix concepts of specialist kits are called advanced kits. Generalists don't gain any special abilities, but are granted bonuses to how many features they can equip from different classes.

The more generalist levels one has, the more features they can equip from other classes at once. This feature is called multi-tasking.

Class features have to be equipped to use.
Class features are divided into arts,boons and proficiencies.

Arts are things like magical arts and martial arts. Actions that are preformed to create an outcome. These are active, and have 3 levels that correspond with the classes. Arts use Either Magic points or Spirit points.

Boons are passive bonuses that improve stats or rolls based on character or class level. They do not use points. But take up equip slots.

Proficiencies allow one to utilize certain types of equipment, magical or mundane without incurring certain penalties, and may also give bonuses based on class or character level.


Initially once can only equip one Art, one Boon, and One Proficiency at level 1//1, but through leveling up the generalist class, more slots can be gained to multi-task, customizing one's individual knowledges and abilities.

This desu. 90% of warriors in history were just thieves with armor on, and sometimes state sanction.

>>55182742
And you're the one inventing bullshit reasons why your class that manipulates unobtainium to get results is outside of the archetypes "uses force to get results", "uses cunning to get results" and "manipulates unobtainium to get results".
Fighter/mage/rogue isn't about flavor, or theme. It's about how each class interacts with the world.

>>55182263

I fail to see the problem with this.

>>55182332

Mages should be the support/healing class. Nips the "caster supremacy" meme right in the bud.

>>55182263
Isn't this the pidgeon lady?

>>55183823
Fuck, can we get this game?

>>55182482
Consider that changing the flavor of a class and adjusting a couple of options does not make justice for their tactics and skills in the battlefield. I can understand that you'd want to avoid overpowered characteristics, but even relatively fresh warriors from different factions and historical periods are going to have different skillsets and specializations. Unless your trait pool is fuckhueg x2 you will not be able to represent those with just one or two generic classes.

>>55183981
Let's not get started with those mob weaknesses and synch, last thread was derailed when we did.

The only real class system

>>55185041
There aren't really that many significant differences when you are talking about combat of individual persons. Military tactics for large groups vary enormously but for the individual it is more a question of "What weapon and armour do you have?" This is represented by weapon proficiency and attack rolls.

Sure, a viking raider might run in and swing his axe around like a madman but what is he doing? Running into combat and making attacks.

A studied fencer from 1600s Italy would fight in a tentative jabbing stance and rely on his reflexes to fight... but he still just stabs people.

These different fighting styles don't warrant a new class, just some different options within the fighter class.

>>55184022
this looks like a load of fuck to wield

>>55183879
In what sense is a rogue? In other Cypher systems they get rid of the jack, but In numenera the jack is literally the in-between of glaive and nano.

>>55185270
>In numenera the jack is literally the in-between of glaive and nano.

Yes, but it also fills the slot of rogue, thematically and mechanically, since their unique features are skillmonkey stuff in addition to a smattering of things from the other classes.

I don't know, Dragon Age 2 and 3 hit the fucking absurd point that warriors can't use bows so ranged combat is rogue only.

The divide between rogue and warrior is totally artificial, especially in DA:I where rogue is just 'light armor warrior'

>>55189929
In a video game where combat is the overwhelming majority of the gameplay then the function of each class boils down entirely to combat abilities, and having seperate classes for melee or ranged fighting makes sense. Although IIRC the rogue still gets some utility functions.

Yeah, being intelligent makes your rolls always high and that you never fail anything, therefore no need for healing

I imagine that in an RPG, where you could have a party, you'd be able to put restrictions that you wouldn't be able to have in a single player game where you're theoretically supposed to be able to do everything.

>>55189028
I think rogues would make sense in a game that ends up playing like infinity (the miniatures game).

So Warriors and possibly mages would be your rambos (dedicated fighters), while rogues would be off actually getting the mission done because they are your specialist.

But that might require an actual narrative reason for the encounter

> What drink do you want that isn't just a variation on water?

Condensing every drink down to "water + something else" doesn't mean you can ask your waiter for water and expect him to give you wine.
Likewise, condensing every class down to "variations upon these three" doesn't mean the Fighter, Rogue, and Wizard available are anything like whichever class you actually wanted to play.

A magic user or fighting man can take skills that cover rogue things. Mostly the fighting man, but magic users could be charismatic or perceptive easily. Either could work as party face.

The Savage Worlds games I played in ended up with everyone being some kind of warrior with a few useful spells tacked on.

>>55190439

>>55182263
Look at that girl ruining herself with cigs and hoop rings.

>>55198192

That's just avoiding the problem. And I know, because I play multiple characters too, specifically to avoid the later levels where they all turn out the same.
Essentially I'm forcing a voluntary class system on top of its classless shit, but the existence of a workaround like "don't play that guy anymore once you hit level X" doesn't make the no-class mishmash stop being a thing.

Good job trying to make a design weakness into a moral failing though.

>>55182263

>>55198057
What would you want to play that doesn't fit as a refluff with minimal mechanic tweaks of that three classes?

>>55182964
And that is exactly how it was run in original D&D before the Thief was introduced. The Thief's abilities were meant to be supernatural. Look at the original naming of some of the skills: Hide in Shadows, Climb Sheer Surfaces.
That wasn't poetic license, but what the skills literally did, as in a Thief could literally hide in any shadow, even during the day, or could scale sheer smooth walls that would be impossible without equipment for anything else. That is exactly why the thief skill percentages were so low, because they weren't meant to be mundane skills, or they could just as well have called them Hide or Stealth or Climb or something like that.
Look up Mike Mornard aka Old Geezer aka Gronan, who played with both Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson and explains all of this in various places on the net.
Also look at the level titles: a 1st level fighter was a veteran, meaning an experienced warrior that doesn't need to roll just to see if they can tie their shoelaces. All adventurers were expected to know how to sneak, climb, run, jump, camp out in the wilderness, have basic wilderness survival skills, etc. Rolling was only needed for things they didn't know how to do or in situations where chance of success was hard or dicey. Most situations were actually roleplayed out and the result would determined by common sense.

>>55200979
A lot of confusion is caused by 1st level characters being killed in a single hit. This is mistaken for incompetence when it actually indicates the fragility of low level character, since original D&D takes place in fairly "gritty" "low-fantasy" type world even though it's actually a high-fantasy world. Later D&D changes all this without actually changing the mechanics.

>>55190439
>>55198286
That's assuming that you play the game long enough to where you can max out every ability within the game and there aren't restrictions in place to explain why you can't dip into, say, be a mage while also benefiting from augments in Shadowrun.

Even then, you're going to drift towards certain dominant traits depending on how you play anyways.

>>55199975
> minimal mechanic tweaks
Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Paladin, Ranger, Captain, Lantern, Mechanic, Sky Dancer, Survivor, Walker, Angel, Battlebabe, Brainer, Chopper, Driver, Hardholder, Hocus, Maestro D', Savvyhead, Skinner.

Or were we pretending D&D is the only RPG? Because even then it's still a stupid question.

Things "Fighter" is:
- a Fighter

Things "Fighter" is not:
- a Barbarian
- a Ranger
- a Paladin
- a Monk
- a Rogue

Just because all of those classes can be reduced down to "fighter + some other thing" doesn't make them Fighters, and especially doesn't mean you'll be playing any of them in a game with the three most standard archetypal classes in RPG history. Use your brain.

Casting spells isn't the same as Fighting though, you're just casting spells.

Now, if you were buffing yourself before Fighting then that's different, but at the same time, you'd classify as a Fighter/Mage variant than a pure Fighter.

Spellcasting is fundamentally different from actually fighting people though.

If I shocked someone to death with a tazer, it doesn't make me a Wizard and just because I killed someone with Fireball doesn't make me a Fighter.

>Spellcasting is fundamentally different from actually fighting people though.

It's just a different kind of weapon if you're using it for combat.

>>55205782

>pretending to be retarded

>>55205782
It's not a weapon though, it's magic.

>>55205812
>weapon
>a thing designed or used for inflicting bodily harm or physical damage.

It's both.

>>55205796
>>55205812
Not him, but I kinda see his point. Using magic to hurt others in a fight is still fighting, even if it doesn't involve conventional weapons or direct bodily violence.

>>55204530
>wouldn't that mean that doctors, engineers and diplomats are mages?
Do they deal damage to enemies via physical attack when they fight? Yes, they do.
Doctor/engineer/diplomat are professions - what does that have to do with classes?

>>55206085

You're hurting someone, but you're not fighting them. You're not trading blows or anything remotely like fighting.
Might as well say that burning their crops so they starve to death makes you a "fighter."

>>55206174
What if they use their abilities to support their friends rather than dealing damage?

>>55206200
So if two people stood in a room hurling magical bolts at each other, you wouldn't say that's fighting? It's not even "remotely like" fighting? What would you call this mutual infliction of hurt?

>Might as well say that burning their crops so they starve to death makes you a "fighter."

Isn't that your position? They're not using magic so they must be a fighter.

>I'm a barbarian pacifist that just hands potions to my party. That makes me a mage.
When they deal damage to the enemy what form does that take?

>When they deal damage to the enemy what form does that take?

Are you implying that they are fighters because they can pick up a sword and hit someone? But mages can pick up swords and hit people too, so they must be fighters as well.

Your argument has devolved into idiocy. I can't tell if you're pretending to be stupid, or shitposting ironically, or genuinely dumb.
This is pointless. Fuck it, I'm out.

>>55205766
You are one of those people who think that 4th edition classes all play the same, right?

>>55205922
Magic isn't a thing though.

>>55207019
genuinely what the fuck are you talking about?
I have no idea what you think you've read in something I've written but you're arguing with something I neither care about nor ever said.

>>55206394
Do they have the option of dealing magical damage?

>>55207180
So even if someone has no fighting skill, you consider them a "fighter" as long as they don't have magic? Maybe you should just call them "muggles" instead.

>>55207428
Nobody said they have to be GOOD Fighters. Besides, all Fighters are assumed to be muggles anyways until they learn how to cast magic.

>>55207428
If the option is fighter or mage then someone with no magic is clearly not the mage, they're just a really crap fighter.

Of course, if they genuinely aren't a fighter or a mage then they're not an adventurer so they don't need to be covered by the class system.

>>55207150
3 classes can cover anything because no-classes can cover anything. If you think three classes are not enough to cover the archetypes you posted that makes me think that probably your issue is that you understand that there must be differences in the rules at play for each class to be considered different and henceforth think that all 4e DnD classes all play the same.

>>55182332
Warriors can bandage wounds and set broken bones.

Rogues can apply healing salves and perform surgery.

Mages can gather herbs, brew potions and use magic to seal the wounds.

>>55207819
Try reading:
> Just because all of those classes can be reduced down to "fighter + some other thing" doesn't make them Fighters, and especially doesn't mean you'll be playing any of them in a game with the three most standard archetypal classes in RPG history.

A game that offers Fighter / Wizard / Rogue almost never offers non-standard variants on the three. You cannot be a Druid or a Monk or a Bard, you can be The Archetypal Fighter and The Archetypal Wizard and The Archetypal Rogue.

Feel free to show me any Fighter / Wizard / Rogue game that does actually let you create any variation on those three. I'm still waiting for the last guy to come up with something.

>>55207819
Also, and I can't stress this enough, this is the dumbest most backwards logic I've heard since the last guy stopped posting.
Consider wtf you are even saying. "You can do anything with three classes because you can do anything with no classes." Okay, my three classes are Rock Salesman, Foot Fetishist, and Scuba Diver. Yep, you're right, this does encompass every possible thing a player could want to do. You got me there.
Classes explicitly exist to narrow your game experience. Games remove classes when they want their players to be able to pick and mix elements.
