Overlord


Homebrew and House Rules

Liberty's Edge

Some time ago I wished to create an Overlord the video games conversion, I ended the project because I didn't want to post my minion mechanic on here so that Paizo could have it. Well I'm back to it, though this time it's not based on the game and so I'd like ideas on what you think would make the best Overlord. I'm considering a scaling leadership feat from maybe level 2 or 3 giving a pool of minions that need to be infiltrated into existing heirachies in preperation for the Overlord's rise to power?

My second idea is to just set it up as a set of loyal generals of the same level and making the class for solo adventuring.


Personally, I'd be flattered if Paizo ripped off my stuff, but most of us post on Google Docs partly for this reason and partly because it's easier to type there.

When I think of the Overlord I think of a more martial version of the Summoner Broodmaster.

Liberty's Edge

That was actually the very first version of it and the Broodmaster was a heavy inspiration. But the lack of martial made me want to homebrew, now in this case, I want the classic evil overlord for this class as I'm hoping to actually publish it.

EDIT: Nix the evil part. I can see good reasons for the same class in the form of a rebel commander.
