The Champion gains all the way up to 9th level spells, but with the most restrictive spell list in the game. The last of the four classes, The Champion, utilizes another existing system – spellcasting. The system is an alternative to Tome of Battle’s readied maneuvers and stances and offers an equal amount of power and depth. These classes learn a large number of feats, well over and above the number of bonus feats a Core Fighter gets, and prepares them for battle, and at the same time have meaningful class features. As far as the other three rebuilds, I present a new system of Feat Preparation which is utilized by two classes – The Sohei, a Ki based warrior which replaces the Core Monk and The Warlord, a tough, focused, and highly competent warrior which replaces the Core Fighter. I utilize this existing system with The Wildheart, a sublime class which incorporates the wild ferocity of the Barbarian, but also borrows from the Ranger and Scout classes. Maneuvers and stance are a great system which enables warrior characters to create flexible, self-sufficient, and flavorful characters while at the same time making sure that their power stays level appropriate for challenges they are intended to face. This project takes note of The Tome of Battle’s popularity, which holds a special place in my heart, and seeks to achieve the same strength and versatility of the classes presented therein with the Core warrior classes – Barbarian, Monk, Fighter, Paladin. A project that has been in the making ever since I first rolled that Intelligence based Fighter named Rufus Mallory, and began to blossom after that day I followed a link in Leress' sig to Frank and K's Races of War. Wildheart - Warlord - Sohei - Champion.
If you, like me, find issue with the Core Barbarian, Fighter, Monk and Paladin, and like Tome of Battle but are maybe looking for something different, please, continue.WARNING!!!!! If you have no problem with balance between Core warriors and Core casters, if you think Tome of Battle is overpowered, or if you just don't like complex or option-rich classes, you should probably turn back right now.
