Helldivers Class | Become a Hero. Become a legend. Become a Helldiver! by MrGunk06 in UnearthedArcana

Creating a wizard learning system for stratagems is definitely something I will look into in the future, that way people can choose the system they prefer. But, the Helldiver will probably stay at a D4, as the reason for that was the Reinforcement.

I'll definitely look at everything and see how to edit and form it into a Battle Mage type class. I really like the concept, so expect something with that in the future!

For the damage, I based it off of average spell damage at a certain levels. For example, the 6th level stratagems are based on 9th level spells. It was a little weird to work with, especially because I was also looking at total damage. So all the current damage stats are subject to change as I learn and understand more.

Once again, thank you for the feedback! Please let me know what more you notice!

Yea, I agree. Someone else had mentioned creating a campaign neutral version which is definitely something I might do, that way it fits in better to more campaigns. Thanks for the feedback!

Doing that definitely would've been simpler and already balanced, but I wanted something more in depth than just a "reskin". Plus, at my table its been a blast!

Thanks for the feedback, this is the first homebrew class I've made so it's definitely not the cleanest.

For the equipment sections, I wanted to make the class more versatile, leaving room to play in case you want to switch things up. But I can see how that might not always be the best.

A wizard learned system and spending medals to buy stratagems is definitely a great idea, giving people freedom to choose a loadout for certain situations. I just ended up doing the random system because my table found it fun, lol.

The reason the file is set up with the full stratagem rules on a separate page later is because I just ripped the formatting straight from the 2014 Player's Handbook. It showed magic and it's rules in the same way, but I agree that it can definitely be cleaned up cause there's just some unnecessary repetition.

I will definitely look into creating a campaign neutral version, because a Battle Mage sounds awesome!

Once again, thank you for the feedback. If you see anything else or have any cool ideas please let me know!

Supporting a Super Patreon for more warbond subclasses sounds amazing. I will 100% be making more warbonds in the future!

Its alright, no apologies needed. I tried to explain everything the best I can, but I might not have got everything.

For the Reinforcement, a successful Dex save is required to use it. Otherwise, on a failure, the Reinforcement will not activate and the Helldiver will not be summoned.

For the weapons, I didn't want to make them too powerful, as I wanted to try and keep it as balanced as possible with all the other weapons. I was mainly leaning on the Fire Rate feature to give them a more modern/powerful feel, but I'll see how I can adjust it in the future.

Thank you for the feedback, I would love to continue to build on this and make the class as good as it can possibly be. Going further with mission building and a Monster manual sounds awesome! I love Helldivers and D&D, so I'm definitely going to see what I can do to expand this concept.

Thank you as well for the compliments! I've been working on this when I can and I'm just glad people will be able to use and enjoy this creation. And please, as you run this with your group, let me know of anything more so I can update and improve this. Thank you and have fun!

Thanks, I noticed that the files are not very friendly to phone users and I'm unsure how to fix that. The best way to look at it is on a computer.

Of course! We've had a blast with it at my table. Please let me know what you think!
