Elysian Shadows

So, RPGs had been with us for a very long time, they brought people joy and happiness...
so basically, the RPG classes are-
Support- Healer/Mage/Buffer , affects party members, multiple enemies, can change enemie's stats.
Tank- mostly just named Warrior, Hight health, High armor, standard damage.
Damage- Mage/Elementalist, has low hp, low armor, but does high damage, ranged.
Ranger- Ranger, can tame pets to fight with him,medium damage, ranged, fast and evasive.

Can you come up with a new class?
Is it even possible?
I'd like to hear you thoughts.

What about the Jack-of-All-Trades?

See "Guild Wars". this is still a class created with the combination of all other classes.
looking for a class that does something innovative, like time controller, Environment manipulator etc...

What about that innocent by stander citizen that gets captured by the enemy?? LOL

Ok what about a class that pisses out wine and poops out brownies and gets to sell it???

a class that manipulates people to do stuff, like persuasion not like mind control... like the devil

What about religions?

Jews ,Christians , Muslims, and the Jack of all trades>>>Buddhists.
did i forget anyone?

What about the.... Pilots... You know people who can fly.... and fight from above...

Edit: or maybe a god class! Imagine the possiblities!

Nah, there are really only 4 roles in an rpg. Tank, Damage, Healer, Ranged. I suppose one could argue Controller is seperate from those 4 (i.e.- status effects, mind control, damage over time).

I think you need to change healer with supporter, and maybe add a tamer or something. I know that role often is being played be the ranger, but it could also pretty easily bes split into 2 different classes.

But it must possible to come up with something new, but i also think that it would require the game to have more variables that can be manipulated (like heath, energy/mana, speed and so on. Time is interesting)

Yeah.. you need Mage or Sorcerer, someone that does magic.

Variations on a theme. Originality will only appear if you break out of this:
Class A) Do damage
Class B) Take damage
Class C) Reverse damage

Control would break out, since the above is in the context of PCs.
"Ranged" is just a variation of "do damage". The variation is "do damage" + "limit damage done (ammo)" + "limit own health"
"Magic" is a variation of "do damage" in the same realm as "ranged".

But that's my opinion.

A Bull Shit class... Like Magikarp in pokemon... Its crap, but you have to take time to kill it

Fix'd ;)

^lol... but he's right magikarp is a jip... But I think you might be right marauder... the old attributs must be changed for innovations to be implemented.

Not really. I left those out because they are effectively DPS (damage). Regardless of what type of damage they do.

During a Dungeons and Dragons meetin', my Dungeon Master introduced the interesting concept of "Chefromancy."

I'd be glad to get a full description from him, if it interests you.
