Basically, I wanted to have a Wilder class that reminded me of the Shamans of WoW: They can have vastly different roles depending on how you build them. So, in that sense, I wanted to make a class where you pick two out of three things you want to excel in and go from there: Melee, totems (basically summons), or direct spells.
Let me know what you think! If I'm not the only one that likes this I'll start coding it in my free time. I don't think the talents are anything particularly new or mindblowing to code, but I think the varied builds could make this one attractive to people.
Code: Select all
Shaman
The shaman connects to nature in their own unique way, utilizing infused totems, staves, or otherwise to harness the elements rather than a draconic or animalistic method. This is by no means easy; each shaman must find their own way to commune with nature through these tools and hone their own unique wild-gifts.
Strength +3
Constitution +2
Willpower +4
