Help brew these D&D classes to Pathfinder classes?


Homebrew and House Rules


Hello. I was looking at D&D classes and found two that really stuck out to me. But I am not sure how to covert them into pathfinder classes. Thanks a bunch for the help in advance ^^

Is there anything in particular you want out of these classes? Neither of tem really have any interesting or unique class features. One's basically a fighter with spellcasting and a few fire abilities. The other is a full spellcaster with a few fire abilities. Pathfinder classes tend to have a lot more than that. You could easily play either of these concepts just with a kineticist or an elemental bloodrager.


No. I can't. These are classes based around fire. They don't have options for other elements and its a short list that i like it all. The abilities are unique and they are based on one of my favorite series. They are much different from kineticist and elemental brawler.


You could actually, just don't take other elemental options...but that's besides the point, they seem really bland honestly but I'll see what I can whip up when I'm back at my computer


Thank you.


No prob, it'll probably be some time tomorrow I'm away from home right now, also the site was down when I checked earlier, so some time tomorrow I'll have a rough draft for ya, and ill keep working on it of course

In Pathfinder, classes are not character builds. They're supposed to be broad enough that you can create multiple character concepts with it under a similar theme. In addition, classes generally need a strong game mechanic to unify it. With these 5e classes, I'm not really seeing any unique mechanics. One is just a fire-themed fighter while the other is a fire-themed spellcaster (who seems a little overpowered considering they have a d8 HD). You can just play either concept by picking either a kineticist, elemental bloodrager, or sorcerer and choosing all fire-related options. Heck, the kineticist even has a class feature that works like a more interesting version of Kindle. I'm not trying to be mean -- I'm just saying that classes tend to have a much bigger scope that would make a conversion feel bland and underpowered.

That being said, Enkindler would probably be a full BAB class with 4-level spellcasting like a paladin, medium, or ranger. Pyromancer could be a 9-level spontaneous spellcaster with a d6 HD that can Produce Flame 3 + Cha mod per day.
