Ok, so I'm lazy, and busy, so I really don't have time to write these up and submit them. I'd love to get the money and the recognition, but it would be cool just to see it in print too. And I'm sure that most of you out there who are beter then I am at these kinds of things. But here's the idea: prestige classes based on some well known superheroes...
Still with me? Ok, I know you're laughing, but think about it; there is a connection between comic fandom and game playing, many times we are the same people. So why not have the ability to play one of your favourite heroes of villians in a campaign?
With some tweeking, a Paladin could be transferred onto a Sentinel of Liberty modelled after Captain America:
- special mitheral/adamantine sheild
- gain sheild bashing bonus feats
- ability to use the sheild as a range weapon
- special leadership ability that inspires allies
A Rogue could turn into a Arachnidist (ok, the name sucks, but someonw else can fix that) after Spider-Man:
- supernatural ability to 'Spider Climb' at will
- spell-like ability to cast 'Web' (once, twice & then three times a day)
- spider/danger sence allowing the re-rolling of a reflex save 1/day
- Brachiation ablility at either reduced or base speed
- maybe an increase to the Dex score?
There are countless other superheroes, but I've only thought about these at any length. Someone could try to make a Mage that can wear heavy armor a la Dr. Doom, but I don't know how to make it work. And just because I used Marvel heroes doesn't mean that other compnay characters, but at present these were the only character I can fit into being D&D character classes.
Let me know what you think. Feel free to develop the ideas, and if they are to be published, at present I'm not interested in the money, but I would like some acknowlegdement and/or credit.
A monk could be turned into a FearBringer.Followers of the way of the Bat they prowl the city streets after sundown stopping criminals the watch can't touch.Aided by their specialised Chi abilities they know that criminals are a cowardly superstitous lot and will try to make them cower in terror before revealing themselves.
-cause fear spell like ability useable once,twice, then three times a day.
-Search and track added as class abilities
-Darksense allowing them to "see" their surroundings like a bat's echolocation
-Powers only useable after dark.During the day they must hide themselves as lazy lounge abouts to avoid detection.
