Opinion Wanted: Monster Hunter 5e(ish) but custom classes and spells
🕑 Added 2023-01-26 23:04:44 +0000 UTCHello Everyone,
So I had a thought while working on the insect glaive feats for PF2e and I wanted to get a feel from the patreon for it. With the potential of WotC moving their ruleset to a creative commons license one of my options is to create my own classes and spells (then make adjustments to the materials and a couple other things).
This would keep it still 5e compatible, so you could still use it with any 5e class or race, but with additional options. My thought might be to take inspiration from final fantasy classes and spells (the mmo and other games), in addition to making some basic classes like "the hunter" for a more standard monster hunter experience.
I feel like this might be the way to go for the project, and if so I could continue making monsters, monster hunts and my 5e work would transition to spells and classes for a bit.
This is a thought and inspiration for classes and spell may change, but I think its a direction we can go and I'd like to know all of your opinion on it by choosing an option below.

I think before this would've been sick as hell and I do love the idea but unfortunately my table's already pretty much transitioned to pf2e so I won't sway the vote at all. Definitely looking forward to all your new content as always though!

As long as its 5e comaptible im good honestly. Me and my group arent planning to move to pf2 so i'll still be using your 5e content and im still hoping for more to be updated as theres still lots of monsters more

I always felt like the hunting horn was a great inspiration for a combination class between bard and barbarian (skald was a bard-barian option in PF1e). The way you have it implemented in MH for 5e works well within that context, but I think it would be a great homebrewed subclass even beyond monster hunter based campaigns. Similar feelings toward kinsect and even lance user.

I think the idea of divorcing from wotc in any capacity you can is probably good one, making 5e content or not. So making your own classes for your 5e stuff to get some more freedom would be a good idea. It would also give you the free space to develop classes to specifically fit within the context of your monhun content, rsther than trying to kludge in the traditional fantasyland content of core dnd and trying to make it fit alongside the more specialized things you've made. Also will allow for you to alleviate issues of some core classes being objectively better monster hunters than others, imo at least
