Petition: Fleshwarper

[brian14]

One D&D 3.5 class I would love to see in DDO is Fleshwarper (http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Fleshwarper_(3.5e_Prestige_Class))

In DDO terms, basically an anti-druid. Arcane caster with mastery over aberrations.

As a prestige class, the best we could hope for this is a PrE, and it looks like it would fit wizards best. Unfortunately, there are a couple of problems with that idea. First, the wizard PrE's are spoken for already (pale master, arch mage, and wild mage), and second, this seems to revolve a lot around the wizard's familiar, which isn't implemented in game currently. Not an inherently bad suggestion, but not one that I see being implemented any time soon.

I did not mean slavishly imitate PnP prestige class. That's obviously impossible. I meant making a similar standalone class.

Actually, it is. They are called companions :) Wizards do not have them, but artificers and druids do.

Unfirtunately, I agree. The thread is more along lines of wishful thinking -- "MAYBE devs will listen and think about it!"

At one point in time, they had an acolyte of the skin pres planned for sorcs...kind of similar-ish

They still have it planned. It's unclear how exactly they're going to make savant PrE's once the enhancement update comes out, but the acolyte is all but guaranteed to be one of them.

You're free to petition for whatever additional classes you want, of course - I'm personally holding out hope for Swashbuckler and a decent DEX-based melee option - but considering how long we had to wait for druids, I wouldn't exactly hold my breath waiting for an esoteric base or PrE like Fleshwarper. I prefer to restrict my wish list to the "remotely plausible," thanks. :rolleyes: Heck, I'll settle for them finally finishing all the PrEs they promised over 4 years ago (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=166967) and delivering the long-delayed Enhancement overhaul (http://forums.ddo.com/showthread.php?t=357100).

were far more likely to see this as an npc than player class.

Infact i think its already covered by yolthoun.

As a player class, the devs seem to have Artificer and druid being oposite sides of the same coin.
