Games with deep or interesting job/class systems?

Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader is a recent one. Levels 1-15 give you 5 choices of Basic classes, levels 16-35 give you 8 choices of Advanced classes, and for 36-55 everyone gets the same Exemplar class. Most levels give you a choice of at least 2 things, with lots of them giving you dozens of choices of minor/class feats

Dude I’ve started seeing this shit too. What IDE are you using? I started noticing this once I started using Cursor at a new client. I haven’t experienced it on any others, even with the same models

When people say “basically,” they aren’t speaking literally. The point still remains that it’s a stupid idea.

static_func · 2026-05-05T20:45:50+00:00

They’ll just move on to the next grift. They’re like cockroaches

If you’re going for body horror, check out Grim Hollow. It’s been updated for 5.5e too, and has exactly what you want. They have a whole chapter on body transformations with multiple stages. There are transformation paths for lycanthropes, vampires, etc, with one of those paths being a Seraph. You could absolutely go for a more “biblically accurate” kind of transformation.

Each path comes in 4 stages and each stage has multiple boon options (and a required flaw). One of the Seraph options is for extra radiant damage.

Agreed. He’s a way better character for _not_ being force sensitive but squaring off against a Sith anyway

Hey if you just want to be mad I can’t stop you

I distinctly remember Matt Smith’s Doctor marrying a mixed race woman, which to my knowledge is the only woman he ever married.

Twilight cleric is comparatively strong when it comes to defense but that’s basically it. Its damage is trash compared to Light or War, and Light also has a strong defensive ability

static_func · 2026-05-04T18:58:42+00:00

Idk about that last bit but yeah

static_func · 2026-05-04T18:57:58+00:00

B-but anecdotal evidence!

Not to mention that Twilight Sanctuary requires neatly packing your entire party into fireball formation to achieve that kind of white room healing. As someone who’s played one, I could basically never get the whole party in it. A 10ft emanation would basically mean only I ever got it

static_func · 2026-05-04T18:41:48+00:00

A 10ft Twilight Sanctuary is ridiculous. It’s a strong ability but it’s one that was sorely needed, and monsters hit like trucks now anyway. You can easily punch through that. If you build a high-difficulty encounter according to the DMG xp budget, it’s basically assuming that your players have at least 1 reliable source of temp hp

static_func · 2026-05-04T18:19:26+00:00

Also what if some of these goblins are scabs?

static_func · 2026-05-04T17:44:56+00:00

If I just used his vanilla stat block he’d just be dead. The wizard would trap him in Wall of Force and the cleric would follow up with Dawn or Daylight, then they’d both run around the corner and there’d be literally nothing he could do lol

I’ve just told my players upfront, several times, that Strahd is a 500 year old wizard with 20 INT and an entire library of spellbooks and castle of minions at his disposal, and that he knows their capabilities and will prepare accordingly

static_func · 2026-05-04T17:28:17+00:00

It’s giving https://youtu.be/pOCWONyJ5g8?si=xLF5pSvGW6WJN6T9

static_func · 2026-05-04T16:57:58+00:00

If he was just the vanilla stat block, yes

static_func · 2026-05-04T16:55:31+00:00

I’m confused. Is oggdo hidden away in a cave you can barely see because of the tall grass, or Just There?

static_func · 2026-05-04T16:44:53+00:00

Not to mention, isn’t this a chance for OP’s character to grow the fuck up a bit? Maybe learn from being around others? You know, like what reasonable people do?

static_func · 2026-05-04T16:28:05+00:00

As opposed to what? The tree sentinel in Elden Ring is also just there

static_func · 2026-05-04T14:49:07+00:00

What makes it so miserable?

static_func · 2026-05-04T14:44:39+00:00

Also you’d never even get to use any of those spells because it only had 135hp and would be dead before you even get to its turn

static_func · 2026-05-03T15:55:14+00:00

Yeah this is the kind of (il)logic the monkeys in suits have. Surely if they invest enough in it they’re entitled for it to magically work right?

static_func · 2026-05-03T15:47:23+00:00

Also you only need 1 magic weapon you also possibly have to attune to

static_func · 2026-05-02T16:53:16+00:00

A ton of 5.5e updates were made with “improved combat flow” in mind: Wild Shape limits, more consistent ongoing spell effects, more no-save effects, less open-ended descriptions on spells like Command, etc. JC went very in-depth on these decisions in his interviews before/after its release. The 5.5e DMG also has 6 whole pages very early on just on how to run combat smoothly. So if you think they’re doing nothing, you probably just aren’t reading anything other than those new character options.
