Archetype ideas!

[NemesisAlien]

Monk archtype: Jester, starts with stats 6 8 6 6 6 6, you only get 1 point, skills only tumble auto grant, no feats, no enhancement trees. Universal trees lock out.

Spells hypnotize, faire fire, confusion. All auto granted. Gets glitterdust at lev cap.

Level up 1 ap, no feats no stats, no skills except for auto grant tumble.

Locked out of casual, normal, hard, elite and reaper 1 to 9.

Something included in this list

Some of those should look familiar cause most all enhancement tree's are 3.5e PRC's.

Hi!

I converted an old idea of mine into an archetype.

The Bannerlord:
A fighter that sacrifices the Kensei tree for a buffer/semi-healer tree. You place banners on the ground that last for a duration and provide buffs to your party through AoE. Buffs to health, a healing banner that scales off melee power and pulses heals, one that provides mrr/prr as long as the party remains in the AoE. It’s T5 could be a banner attached to the Bannerlord player and provides a damage buff for the entire party, +~8% inc. damage to enemy targets in the aura. An ability to grant your party a buff to movement speed would also be interesting to see.

My archetype is parallel with your idea.

Enhancement tree: Warlord, Stalwart Defender, Warchanter; <Lose: Kensei, Vanguard>

My warlord's tree is to long, read here: https://sites.google.com/view/myddo/...hetype/warlord

If we assume that they will try and balance stuff (and they might not)
There are certain guesses we can make.

If they have another cleric arch it will not be dark again.
If they only have 1 arch per class, FS will likely not be dark
because their counterpart (cleric) already has a dark Arch.

The Monk Arch will likely involve a new weapon (for them)
or some type of armor.

Fighter arch could literally be anything.

Warlock arch will likely deal with a new pact

Alchemist arch will be something odd

The artificer arch will likely move away from the repeater.

Barbarian might be some kind of Battle rage-er

Druid will likely be a shaman

FS will like exemplify the light side (unlike the cleric arch)

Ranger might be a bit more druidic but they will lose something in return

Rogue will most likely be an arcane trickster

Sorc, maybe some other element or Fey centric

Wizard, likely wild mage.

my best guesses and observations.
I could be way off.

Artificer already have melee & casting variety

Artificer archetype should double down on repeater because casting is far stronger past early levels

[shmagmhar]

I have wanted to see hex blade and spore druid added to the game for a long time now . thankyou to the other people that suggested it . if not spore druid maybe something like swarmkeeper where you get an aura of bees could be cool . for warlock archtypes maybe it could be like in 5e where you choose pact of the blade , chain, talisman or tome . and hexblade is what you get when you choose bladepact . i dream about being able to transform into a shambling mound .

[edbliss1]

Go back to the old Dungeons and Dragons cartoon and have a Fighter archetype of Cavalier. Only wields a shield, no weapon. 100% shield basher with great defenses and a limited short-range cone bash.

[SoVeryBelgian]

--
I'm still miffed they bailed on Universal Trees for Archetypes outta the blue, but OK, if that's the game we're playing...


1. Warlock

Obviously, HEXBLADE. C'mon. Or Beguiler.

2. Rogue

Soulknife or Arcane Trickster (Classic DnD)

3. Monk

I would like to see a thrower-specific subtype that ISN'T Vile chemist splitting DCs for Wep Damage in Alche. Can use ALL thrower types. Get some use out of Throwing Axes & Hammers.

4. Sorcerer

Blightmancer or Invoker / Words of Power user

[Marshal_Lannes]

Three that I find intriguing and would fit in the game.

Arcane Trickster - Others have stated this, and I echo it as well. Some might say you can sort of make one already with the Feydark tree. I mean, kind of but not really. It has been quite a while since Rogues got a look. Granted multiclass versions of them are popular with Horizon Walker and Inquisitive but that also speaks to the versatility of the Rogue class. Putting in Arcane Trickster and designing it so there will be synergy with the casting perks from Shadowdancer seems like a golden opportunity.

Shadow Caster - Sorcerer is another class that hasn't been given a look in quite a while. More or less, we are still stuck with the pick an elemental color and go with it class. Shadow Caster would bring exciting new spells and utility to the class. Shadow Caster is another archetype that could benefit from some existing game mechanics in the Shadowdancer destiny requiring less Dev design type. Hound of Ill Omen introduction could also lay the framework for a future Ranger archetype Beastmaster. Finally, Shadow Form - and please make sure we can float like the Wraith form from Pale Master!

Path of Wild Magic - Perhaps we should just embrace that casting has advantages and offer that option on Barbarian. The Path of Wild Magic would be like Eldrich Knight, but Barbarian style. This would be all about the Wild Surge and unstable magics around you. Think of a playable version of the Scion of Limbo.

[Xianio]

A few brainstormed ideas based on the stated goal of architypes rather than an existing DnD class.

Goal of Archetypes: Fundamentally changes the way a class engages with content / shifts its role to a playstyle currently unavailable to the class.

Totems/Banners: Class feature like a bard aura but more specialized and considerably stronger. Able to be picked up and moved with the group or placed for strong impacts. Stronger impacts could be focused on healing, crowd control or major debuffs. Classes: Melee DPS w/out support trees e.g. Fighter/Barb. Sacrifice: Their defensive tree.

Intent - In exchange for personal defense & pure focus on personal play the class gains self/party buffs so party-focus is needed. Also opens up support role features previously unavailable to the class. Inspiration: Divinity Original Sin 2 / Path of Exile.

Stance-Dancing: Class feature adds considerable offense/defense at the sacrifice of major specialist class features. Stances could include major melee buffs like full BAB, crit multiplier and/or AC bonuses & healing-per-second. Or magic buffs like cast-rate, mana regen, spell crit. Costs could include immobility and major-class features being lost to allow for stances to have huge benefits e.g. loss of bard song (shared bard song?), inability to use stealth or sneak attack only ever 3/4 levels. Classes: Bards or Rogues. Sacrifices: Class features + support tree or removal of very stylized tree e.g. Swashbuckler replacement.

Intent - A total role change option for specialist class. Depending on implementation could transform a specialist into a primary front-line DPS, tank or back-line nuker. Keeps some class elements that anchor identify as main class (sneak attacks/auras/skill monkey) but makes them weaker at current specialization or less group-focused so the class can step into/temporarily become something they're not. Inspiration: Skalds / Fighting games

HP-to-Damage: "Explosive" damage or huge short-term buffs at the expense of HP - self-selected or earned via tanking damage. Total shift in current tanking strategy away from stacking avoidance to flat & % damage reduction e.g. avoidance stats convert to a different damage reduction type. Complimented by intimidate & ability to physically move enemies towards character to force toon to get into close range and stay there. Class: Monk. Sacrifice: Class features that boost AC/avoidance and Shinto tree.

Intent - Shift DPS method from fast small strikes to huge "epic moments" and change identify from a "dodge tank" to introduce a new style of defense never-before-used in DDO. Inspiration: Pillars of Eternity Monk / Critical Role "Echo Knight" e.g. gravity knight.

[Gljosh]

I think this could be a nice addition to the game.

Just think of some of the ideas; one per class and maybe one per race.

Some of the combos could be interesting, we technically have a Pal/Mnk, Clrc/Wiz-Necro, Bard/Sorc-Lightning.

Runescarred Barbarian could be interesting, just to give people something different to run as (also adding some more Past Lives is not necessarily a bad thing).

[SilentRunning]

Brawler for Fighter would be nice, that's basically what the Brawler is in LoTRO.


There's quite a few Artificer sub classes. Alchemist would have fulfilled this role well enough as it is technically an Arty subclass.

Then there is this to look at as an idea: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/3.5e_All_Classes

DRoark
One Born Every Minute

I'd say an Artificer (Programmer), but then we'd have two sets of people that can't program.

From the whiner who can't do any better.

[Nugaot]

Druid - Scary Poison Man
Gains new wildshape form, spider and elemental form plant. loses the old ones. instakiller melee assassin or Dot based debuffer poison/acid caster.

Just popping back in to take 100% full credit for Blight Caster, though I like my name for it better.

[Nym_Craian]

I see many ideas thrown in as names, but what do these names cover? I'd love to see what you guys think.
What would these archetypes look like? How would you try to integrate it into the DDO system?

I tried to put together several archetypes that I like, but so far there are only two that might be functional and usable.

1. Warlord
Fighter archetype (CON base, support-tactical)

[DaviMOC]

The old classic Blackguard can still come in. I would bet as a fighter or rogue archetype as the paladin slot is already taken.

I like blightcaster but I feel like they lost the oportunity to explore druid possibilities in their forms as a shifter, To be honest I understand that creating new forms could be expensive but yeah I would love to see new forms that are not a new shader over the character body or new materials over the so common wolf shape( it looks great anyway). With an expansion such as IoD , raptor shape and velonasaur pet would be pretty cool.

Stormlord for FvS? Is the only one i can think of and I love the idea but i feel like the stormsinger on bard stole the role? Maybe a FvS iconic from FR including Talos as a new deity and spear weapons finally in a future expansion?

For fighter I can only think about 5th edition archetypes.Many options/possibilities and My favorites are Champion, Echo Knight and Samurai.

Rogues got many options, from 3.5 prestige classes to 5.0. I'm most interested on arcane trickseter.

I've joked about it in another thread but i would love to see something that breaks the serious and existentialist sense we have on monks and go for War Breakdancer.

[tarrith_dourden]

I would like to see a Necromancer Archetype that raises temporary minions from the corpses of enemies (and friends)
The minions could have an increasing health decay which would force them to die after a certain amount of time.
Greater minions could be unlocked at higher levels.
A "champion" minion could be like a dog that is re-raisable.
Some nice hexes/debuffs could be in the tree as well as SLA Negative Energy Burst.
A maximum number of minions could be based on level (NOT JUST ONE MINON!)
