I’m very surprised to hear someone turned off by these. They’re some of the most exciting class power fantasies I’ve heard in years.Animist sounds cool, especially with the 3.5 binder flavor, but I don’t think the exemplar makes sense as a class to me, and yeah, it kind of “turns me off”.It’s a martial with a broken off piece of divinity inside them - not enough to be a true demigod, but such that they can do superheroic things with their bodies and faux-relics.
Hercules and Sun Wukong were both namedropped, and I think pretty elegantly sketch out a class fantasy.
Yes, the exemplar sounds like something that would rather belong in a superhero game, but it’s a superhero that — for balancíng reasons — can’t be more powerful than anybody else. How very sad.
I have no idea who Sun Wukong is, but Hercules sounds like someone who should be on a totally different power curve than anybody else, and to me this simply doesn’t make any sense as a class balanced against the other classes.
I think you have so high expectations from the Exemplar "superhero class", not all superheroes are Superman, there are superheroes like Wolverine, that I think the direction they are going
